A total of 100 players began Day 2 of Event #26: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha and after the dust had settled just 14 of those runners were able to secure a Day 3 birth. The tournament will be starting at 12 p.m. local time at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino and will not end until a winner has been given $169,842 cash prize to go along with the coveted WSOP bracelet.
One player that really stands out above the rest is well known Brazilian grinder, Felipe Ramos. Ramos has over $2.4 million in live cashes and is a regular on the poker scene. He will be playing to win his first WSOP bracelet and add to his already impressive résumé. He started the day with above average in chips and after a roller coaster first four levels of play, he began to accumulate a stack and never looked back as he ended the day with a top four chip stack of 450,000.
The leader going into the final day is Filippos Stavrakis who found himself a stack of 903,000. Other notable stacks that are still left in the field include Pascal Damois (632,000), Ruslan Dykshteyn (767,000), Jordan Siegel (432,000), Arthur Morris (329,000), Thayer Rasmussen (300,000), Clinton Monfort (292,000), and well-known professional Robert Cowen (95,000).
Play will resume on Level 21 (6,000/12,000 blinds) and levels will be 60 minutes in length. The players will be getting a 15-minute break after every two levels of play, with a 60-minute dinner break coming after the sixth level. The tournament will not be ending until one of the remaining 14 players has been crowned the victor.
