button in SafariRast, Negreanu, Foxen, and Daly Among the Top Ten as Day 2 Kicks Off in $600 Mixed NLH & PLO
Action continues at the 2026 World Series of Poker with Day 2 of Event #28: $600 Deepstack Mixed No-Limit Hold'em & Pot-Limit Omaha kicking off at 11 a.m. local time inside the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
Only 132 players are returning from a massive field that started with 3,332 entries, all of whom have their eyes set on the first-place prize of $204,140, as well as the coveted gold bracelet. The event generated a prize pool of $1,679,328, with all remaining competitors already locking up a cash of at least $1,815.
A slew of heavy-hitters make up the top ten, including Hall of Famers Brian Rast (2,535,000) and Daniel Negreanu (2,320,000), who sit in second and fourth place, respectively.
Not far behind are Alex Foxen (2,185,000), who hopes to replicate his wife Kristen's performance in the $25,000 High Roller just a couple of days ago, and Jason Daly (1,715,000), who continues to ride the momentum from his win in the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo earlier in the series.
