Two days of Event #46: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better reduced the 830-player field to just 21 remaining hopefuls. They will be back Sunday at 2 p.m. local time to play it out for the $223,339 top prize along with a shiny WSOP bracelet.

Leading the pack are Millard Hale (640,000) and Kevin Saul (613,000), both looking to claim their first bracelets. Hale and Saul have one WSOP Circuit ring apiece. Another similarity on their résumé is their best WSOP result so far, coming from the same tournament, albeit from different years.

Hale's closest attempt to reach the World Series of Poker fame was his sixth place in the 2014 $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event while Saul made it heads up in this tournament one year later.

Following in the rankings are European players Miguel Use (598,000) from Belgium and Ireland's John O'Shea (459,000), but the stand-out player among the remaining contenders lies in fifth place.

Three-time WSOP champion Barry Greenstein will come back in sharp shape after surviving Day 2 with 359,000. Greenstein's latest WSOP triumph dates back to 2008, but the 62-year-old 2011 Poker Hall of Fame inductee still shows some flair. Greenstein, also known as The Robin Hood of Poker, has already notched seven cashes at the 2017 WSOP, and he'll pick up his eighth today.

Greenstein, who has been around poker for a quarter of a century, has amassed more than $8 million in live tournament earnings and, unlike the results of some of the heroes from the latest years, Greenstein's résumé isn't depreciated by the exaggerated numbers caused by the super high roller era.

Barny Boatman, another multiple WSOP bracelet winner, also made it to the final day. Boatman is, however, short-stacked with 105,000.

Will Hale, Saul, or others reach their first WSOP title? Or will Barry Greenstein capture his fourth? That's a puzzle for the upcoming hours. Come back to PokerNews at 2 p.m. PDT to solve it with us.
