Event #24: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Double Board Bomb Pot at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas started with a lot of familiar faces like Phil Hellmuth, Huck Seed, Jeremy Ausmus and Erik Seidel, but by the end of Day 1, just 162 players remained.
The chip leader going into Day 2 is Samuel Stranak, who became the first Slovakian bracelet winner when he won a €2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event at WSOP Europe in 2021.
Behind him comes another bracelet winner in Robert Nehorayan, who won his bracelet in 2018, although it came in Limit Hold'em. Both players will return looking to become the inaugural PLO Double Board Bomb Pot bracelet event champion.
With a tally of 1,452 entrants that generated a prize pool of $2,002,671 and a 1st place prize of $290,400, the final 218 places paid, with a min-cash being $3,027.

Three-time bracelet-winner David "ODB" Baker sits in the middle of the pack with Michael Mizrachi not far behind him. Last year's champion in the $1,500 Mixed NLH / PLO Double Board Bomb Pot Xixiang Luo also bagged chips, looking for his third career bracelet.
Players will return to Level 15 with a 5,000 ante for 10 minutes at the start of Day 2, followed by 60-minute levels starting with Level 16 and a 6,000 ante. The tournament will play down to five players, with the final table taking place in the Horseshoe Event Center.

Level 15
: 0/0, 5,000 ante
Players are bagging up their chips, as Day 1 has come to an end.
Level 15
: 0/0, 5,000 ante
J♥9♣4♣2♦A♠
3♣5♠2♠7♥4♠
Action was picked up as Huck Seed was all in for 3,000 from early position, David Baker was all in from middle position for 130,000, and Rick Ngo called, covering both.
Huck Seed: K♦J♣10♠10♣
David "ODB" Baker: A♣A♦7♣6♣
Rick Ngo: A♥7♠6♦4♥
Baker scooped three-quarters of the pot after hitting top set on the top board and chopping the bottom with Ngo, as both players made the same seven-high straight. Unfortunately for Seed, his pair of jacks on the top board and pair of tens on the bottom weren’t enough, and he was eliminated.

Level 14
: Blinds 0/0, 4,000 ante
On a double board flop of:
6♦K♣4♦
A♥7♥6♣
Action was checked to David Williams who went all in for 145,000 from the button and was called by Evan Pope for his remaining 22,000. All other players folded and the players tabled their cards.
Evan Pope: K♦8♦4♣9♥
David Williams:K♠Q♥9♦4♥
WIlliams flopped two pair on the top board alongside Pope, and a heart flush draw on the bottom board. Pope had a gutshot straight draw on the bottom but no hearts in his hand. The turn and river cards were then revealed.
Q♠K♥
3♥J♥
Williams scooped both boards with a full house, kings full of queens on the top board and a nut flush on the bottom board to send Pope packing right before the bubble.
