It was an exciting day at the 2024 World Series of Poker where Event #4: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better has concluded play for the day at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Twenty-two players remain, down from 278 at the start of the day. Chip leading at the conclusion of Day 2 is Adam Nattress from Portland, Oregon, with 2,450,000 in chips.
Notable players who survived today’s action include James Chen (2,100,000) who is third in chips, Jamie Kerstetter (280,000) who bluffed three-time WSOP bracelet winner “Miami” John Cernuto, and Cernuto himself (1,135,000).

The prize pool for this event was $1,238,880, with 22 players still battling for the first-place payout of $209,350.
Today also saw three-time WSOP champion Upeshka De Silva fall to Ali Zargari in 25th place.

Action folded around to Curtis Phelps in the cutoff who raised. Ali Zargari called in the small blind. Upeshka De Silva raised in the big blind. Both Phelps and Zargari called.
The flop came 3♥10♣5♥ and action checked to Phelps who bet. Both Zargari and De Silva called, putting De Silva all-in.
Both Zargari and Phelps checked the turn Q♠
On the river A♠ Zargari bet and Phelps called.
Zargari showed 4♦3♦2♠2♣ for the wheel to scoop the pot and eliminate De Silva in 25th place.
Action was recapped by the other table as shortly after De Silva was eliminated, Ben Landowski was seen leaving the tournament area.
On a board reading JxQx4x8x, Landowski got in all of his chips from the small blind into the middle against Mathew Rego from the cutoff who called to put him at risk.
Ben Landowski: AxJx9x2x
Mathew Rego: AxAx8x5x
The river Kx did not complete Landowski's low draw or gutshot and he was eliminated from the tournament just prior to the final three table redraw.
