After just under 11 hours of play in Event #23: $1,500 SHOOTOUT No-Limit Hold'em at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, just 102 players remain.
The day kicked off with all 960 players working towards a spot on Day 2 and being the last man or woman standing at their respective tables. Only 102 players won their tables and advanced to Day 2 from Day 1a. The last one standing on Day 3 will be awarded the top prize and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
Many players came and went, but some notable faces advanced to Day 2. Niall Farrell, Ran Koller, and Unibet sponsored pro Alexandre Reard were among some of those who advanced to Day 2. Three time WSOP bracelet winner David Pham also advanced to Day 2 after winning with two pair.
Many familiar faces came up short of Day 2 in this flight. Some notables include Ryan Riess, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Maria Ho and Olga Iermolcheva to name a few.
The first player to win advance was Jaskaran Brar, who took down his table only four hours into the day. Michael Lee was the last player to bag up a win at right around 11 p.m. local time.
Day 2 will take place at 1 p.m. Saturday in the Horseshoe and will play until all tables are down to one player. There will be 15-minute breaks after every three levels and a 60-minute optional dinner break after Level 9.
