The 2024 World Series of Poker continues today at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas with Day 2 of Event #48: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed). After 17 40-minute levels of play yesterday, Grzegorz Derkowski came out at the top of the counts.
There were a total of 2,212 entries recorded on Day 1, generating a prize pool of $1,946,560. The eventual winner takes home the first-place prize money of $262,734 and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet. Only 126 players maneuvered their way to find a bag for Day 2, which kicks off at 1 p.m. local time. They have all locked up a payout of $2,449.
Derkowski worked his way to the top of the chip counts, bagging 1,177,000 on the opening day, but he has plenty of company hot on his heels. Some of the notable names in the top ten are James Chen (US), Michael Rocco, and six-time WSOP bracelet winner Brian Hastings.

He currently sits in sixth place on the 2024 POY leaderboard and knows that a final table appearance here will propel him close to the top.

Michael Whitton was in the small blind with Moshe Refaelowitz in the big blind when Maxim Bevers raised to 25,000 and was called by Whitton. Refaelowitz then three-bet to 160,000 and Bevers folded but Whitton made the call.
The flop came out 5♦Q♣2♠ and when Whitton checked, Refaelowitz announced "pot", which got Whitton to fold before the dealer could do the math.
