Mustafov Among Leaders Heading Into Day 2 of $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Handed
Day 2 of Event #96: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Handed gets underway at 1 p.m. local time today at the 2025 World Series of Poker inside the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. After a massive field of 1,088 entries created a prize pool of $2,904,960, just 198 players remain in the hunt for the $471,170 top prize and the prestigious WSOP gold bracelet.
Leading the way is Joshua Ladines, who bagged an impressive stack of 855,000 to finish yesterday's Day 1 on top. Close behind are Pierre Nasr on 843,000 and Pei Li on 810,000, as all three crossed the 800,000 mark and are well-positioned to apply pressure to the shorter stacks as the field nears the money.
