Event #78: $1,500 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha
Day 2 Completed
After 10 levels of play, Day 2 of Event #78: $1,500 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2023 World Series of Poker has closed with 15 players bagging chips to take into Day 3. Everyone remaining will come back eying the $171,741 first-place prize and the WSOP gold bracelet that awaits the eventual champion.
The day began with 140 players returning to Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas looking to bag for the Day 3 finale and collecting along the way as may $500 knockout bounties as possible. Play was quick with many all-ins early on in the action.
A few notables who made Day 2 but could not find a bag for Day 3 included Daniel Negreanu, Amnon Filippi, David "ODB" Baker and Farid Jattin, all of whom went home with a payout but fell short of their ultimate goal.
Satar Al-Sadoun will return to the chip lead with 4,800,000 and will attempt to be the last man standing from the remaining field. There will be no easy route to victory, though, as notables Noah Schwartz (1,100,000), Jeff Madsen (945,000), and Ryan Coon (2,035,000) will all look to navigate their way to the top spot, putting an end to the hopes of anyone who tries to get in their way.

The action rarely slowed down with aggression being the word of the day. There were multiple pre-flop confrontations that saw some players make huge gains while other players crashed and burned, including one hand that sent Daniel Negreanu home early and cut his quest to end a 10-year bracelet drought short.
Little change in the pace of the action is expected going into Day 3. Players will return for the final day of this event tomorrow, July 9th at 2 p.m. local time, when they will play down to a winner. Blinds will resume at 25,000/50,000 with a 50,000 big blind ante. There will be a break every two levels and a dinner break if required.

The remaining 15 players are now bagging up their chips for Day 3. Satar Al-Sadoun will return with the most chips while Thomas Skaggs and David Hu are right behind him to round out the top three.
Stay tuned for a full recap from the PokerNews team.
On a flop of 5♥5♦2♦, Dash Dudley jammed for his last 200,000 or so. After a brief moment of thought, David Hu called to put Dudley at risk and go to a runout.
Dash Dudley: A♥K♥4♣2♥
David Hu: J♥10♦9♥7♦
Dudley was basically flipping for his tournament life with two cards to come, but when the turn brought the 9♦, Dudley was drawing dead as they headed to the inconsequential 9♠ river. Dudley was forced to exit the tournament area on the very last hand of the night, taking 16th place for $6,622.

Giuseppe Maggisano: K♥K♦6♣3♦
The turn and river fell 10♣ 5♦, giving Maggisano the nut flush and sending Arredondo to the payout desk.

Mihails Morozovs raised pot in early position. It folded around to Yusuke Tanaka in the big blind, who pushed in a raise that was big enough to put Morozovs at risk. Morozovs made the call.
Mihails Morozovs: A♥K♥5♥3♦
Yusuke Tanaka: A♠A♦Q♠4♦
Tanaka woke up with aces double suited. Morozovs would have to improve to stay in contention.
The flop came out 2♠4♥2♣, giving Morozovs a two-way wheel draw but when the 8♦ and K♦ rolled off next, Tanaka's aces remained the best hand.
