It was another action-packed day here at the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Day 2 of Event #39: $1,500 Monster Stack took over most of the tournament areas at the start of the day. At the conclusion of play, 389 remain from the 2,715 players who started Day 2. A total of 8,317 entered the massive tournament between the two starting flights, and the remaining players will return for Day 3 on June 19 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
The colossal field generated a prize pool of $12,477,000. First place will receive a whopping payout of $1,162,681 as well as the shiny gold WSOP bracelet. The remaining players have all locked up $5,054.
The big focus of the day was when the money bubble burst at 1,248 players, and everyone still left received a min-cash of $2,401.

Dan "Jungleman" Cates, dressed in full Terminator costume, has begun his mission to three-peat in one of the most prestigious World Series of Poker (WSOP) events — the $50,000 buy-in Poker Players Championship.
In 2021, Cates defeated Ryan Leng heads-up for his first bracelet thanks in large part to a questionable fold from his opponent late in the game. Last year, he backed up his repeat prediction and took it down for the second straight year.
The two major victories gave Cates a combined $2.4 million in earnings. He only has four career WSOP cashes and has always been more of a cash game and online poker player. Later this week, however, he could become a three-time bracelet winner and also join Michael Mizrachi as the only three-time Poker Players Championship champions.

Rayane Bouibeb: Q♦Q♠
Cutoff: A♦A♣
A queen on the flop of Q♣9♥8♠ made Bouibeb scream in delight and jump out of his seat. The cutoff looked solemn at the sight. The 6♦4♦ completed the board and Bouibeb took the pot and the chip lead in the room.
The emotional cutoff screamed, "F*** this S***!" slamming their chips onto the table and storming off from the table.
