Day 2 of Event #60: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em at the World Series of Poker was scheduled to offer players what they want the most: a place in the money. So 539 players came back today at noon at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas, hoping for one of these spots. However, late registration was still open for two 60-minute levels. It eventually closed with a total of 1,773 entrants recorded, generating a total prize pool of $4,733,910.
By the end of the night, only 105 players remained in the race for the $676,900 first-place prize and the WSOP gold bracelet. Among the remaining players, Tzur Levy leads the pack with a massive stack of 2,500,000, followed by Jonathan Fhima (2,180,000), Jong Kim (1,600,000), and Noel Rodriguez (1,490,000).

British duo Yiannis Liperis (1,445,000) and Simon Higgins (1,285,000) finished Day 2 with top ten stacks, as did Daniel Hachem (1,315,000) fresh from his runner-up finish in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha event.
Kristen Foxen ended the day with a big stack (1,245,000), as did Nicholas Seward (1,395,000), Paolo Boi (1,000,000), WSOP online Main Event champion Stoyan Madanzhiev (980,000) and Jonathan Pastore (830,000).
The 2019 WSOP Main Event winner Hossein Ensan also qualified for Day 3, but with a much smaller stack (290,000). Benjamin Spragg (370,000), Tobias Peters (350,000), Aliaksandr Hirs (325,000), and Klemens Roiter (225,000) will also be back tomorrow with small stacks, but they have all secured at least $7,146.
However, the tournament came to an end today for a lot of players, including Adam Levy, who became the bubble boy after he saw his kings get cracked by Anthony Zinno. He left the 266 remaining players to secure a minimum cash of $6,020.
Josh Arieh (266th), Harry Lodge (259th), Ankush Mandavia (256th), Adam Hendrix (245th), and Joey Weissman (235th) settled for a min-cash as they were among the first players eliminated in the money.
Day 3 gets underway at 12 p.m. local time on June 26, with blinds starting at 10,000/20,000 and a big blind ante of 20,000. The plan is to play down to the final five players through 60-minute levels.
Stay tuned for all the excitement as the PokerNews live reporting team covers Day 3, along with our comprehensive summer-long coverage of the 2024 WSOP at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Day 2 has come to an end. The survivors are currently bagging up their chips.
A recap of the day's action will follow shortly.
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of 7♠4♠4♦9♣8♦ with approximately 750,000 in the pot, Julian Milliard-Feral checked in the big blind, then went deep into the tank after Carson Richards shoved for 590,000 from the cutoff.
Milliard-Feral struggled to make a decision, but he eventually chose to fold. "Show the bluff," players said to Richards, who flipped over K♥Q♦ for a king-high bluff.

Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
The tournament director has announced that five more hands will be played before the survivors bag up.
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
An early position player shoved all but 1,000 of their 143,000 chip stack and Benjamin Spragg smoved all-in from the cutoff. When it got back to the initial raiser, he made the call.
Early Position: 8♣8♥ 
Benjamin Spragg: A♣Q♦
Spragg had success in a coinflip not too long ago but couldn't repeat that during this hand as the runout of J♦2♥6♥7♣3♣ kept the snowmen of his opponent in the lead.

Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
On a flop of 2♣J♣5♣, Jeff Lennon shoved his stack of 137,000 into the pot of around 200,000, and was put at risk by the early position player.
Jeff Lennon: K♣K♥
Early Position: A♦Q♣
Lennon was in fantastic shape and just needed to dodge the two remaining aces in the deck that weren't clubs.
Neither the 8♥ turn nor J♥ river changed the outcome of the hand, and Lennon was pushed the pot.
