Day 2 of Event #35: $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em of the World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas began the day with 156 players on the stone-cold bubble. Out of 1,027 players who started the event, only eight advanced to Day 3, which starts on June 12 at noon local time. Each of the remaining players will battle it out for the remaining $2,742,090 prize pool, including a $451,600 grand prize and the coveted gold bracelet.
Ending Day 2 with the best shot at that top prize was Renat Bohdanov, who bagged an impressive 9,150,000 in chips. Hailing from Ukraine, Bohdanov caught fire late in the day when he eliminated Brian James in ninth. With over $1.6 million in reported tournament earnings, he knows how to navigate a final table.
Following close on his heels is Dennys Ramos with 8,930,000 in chips. Ramos is from Brazil and has almost two million in recorded live cashes. He won his last two tournaments consecutively in Brazil. Ramos gained some momentum during the day when he moved all in on the river versus Cooper Feltham.
Tsz Ho Chau is in spot number three with 6,950,000 in chips. This would be the most significant win of his career.

Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Renat Bohdanov and Dennys Ramos were involved in the biggest since the three-table redraw, not involving a bust-out.
Bohdanov started from the hijack, making it 200,000 chips to go preflop. Ramos three-bet him to 800,000.
On the one-suited flop of K♥4♥7♥, Ramos bet out with 425,000 chips, only to have Bohdanov raise it to 950,000.
Ramos made that call, but when the A♠ hit on the turn, he folded to Bohdanov's bet of 1,000,000.

Renat Bohdanov raised to 230,000 on the button. Anatoly Nikitin and Dennys Ramos both called from the blinds.
The dealer presented the J♦8♠J♠ and all players chose to check their option.
When the 3♥ turned, Nikitin took the initiative and bet 225,000.
Both his opponents folded and Boris Kolev chirped in, "Jack-ten suited?!"
Nikitin responded, "If you folded a jack, good fold." with a devious smile.

Level 27

Dennys Ramos added more than a million chips to his table-best stack in a head-to-head tussle with Ryan Wolfson.
Wolfson, playing from the hijack, set the pace in the hand putting in a 200,000-chip raise preflop, and 175,000 more after seeing J♥6♥K♣ hit. Wolfson in the big blind quickly made each call.
Both players checked the 7♦ on the turn. Then Ramos led out with a 900,000 bet after the board paired with the 6♣ on the river. Wolfson thought about it for a minute before making the call.
Ramos tabled K♠5♣ to show two pair, kings and sixes, to take the pot.

Brian James raised from early position to 180,000, Dennys Ramos called from the hijack, and Renat Bohdanov called from the button. They headed to the three-way flop, which was 7♦4♠K♦, and James, who was first to act, continued with 400,000. Ramos quickly folded, and Bohdanov considered his options and raised to 825,000. James moved all in for 3,100,000. Bohdanov made the call very quickly and delivered the bad news to James.
Brian James: A♣K♥ 
Renat Bohdanov: 7♠7♣
James was drawing thin, and the turn 3♥ and river 7♥ did not help James and gave Bohdanov quads for the win.
