When Day 2 of Event #11: $365 PLO GIANT kicks off at 2:00 p.m. local time, 185 players will take their seats in pursuit of the $116,015 top prize and coveted gold bracelet. At the head of the pack is none other than Michael Mizrachi. The longtime pro is fresh off his third victory in the $50,000 Poker Player's Championship four his fourth career bracelet and is looking to add more jewelry to an already phenomenal collection. He will begin Day 2 with 1,845,000 chips.
Texan player Pete Arroyos is hot on his heels with a stack of 1,757,000, while Robert Dukes (1,530,000), two-time bracelet winner Randy Holland (1,450,000), and Tim Andrew (1,375,000) round out the top five spots on the leaderboard. Dzmitry Urbanovich (1,246,000) and Leif Force (1,082,000) also advanced to Day 2 with seven-figure stacks. Layne Flack (825,000), Aleksey Filatov (624,000), Kevin Gerhart (620,000), 2018 MILLIONAIRE MAKER winner Arne Kern (525,000), Matt Stout (500,000), and Takashi Ogura (385,000) are all still in the hunt, as well.
Levels will be 40 minutes long for Days 2 and 3. The plan for Day 2 is to play 15 levels or until the final table is reached, whichever comes first. There will be a 15-minute break every three levels and a one-hour dinner break after level 30 (at approximately 8:30 p.m.).

Jeremy Ausmus Eliminated
Nível 21
: 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
We arrived at the table when three players turned their cards face up, including Jeremy Ausmus.
The flop read 
and Ausmus was trailing with 
against Calen McNeil's 
. Daren Weaver was also all in for his last 10,000, holding 
.
The rest of the board ran out

Quadruple for Reichard
Nível 21
: 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Josh Reichard was downed to his last 35,000 when he posted his small blind. Adam Brown raised to 75,000 under the gun, earning a call from Aleksey Filatov in middle position. Reichard called off for the rest of his chips.
The flop fell 
and Filatov fired 100,000 in position, getting rid of Brown.
"I got at least seven," Reichard said.
He needed help with 
against 
and while the 
turn missed his outs, the river gave him two pair to beat Filatov's hand.
Reichard climbed to 135,000, scoring almost a quadruple but he'll have to spin further up to get in calm waters.

Under the gun, Lee Serota limped in and another player overlimped from two seats over. Timothy Lang then potted out of the middle position, making it 165,000. Only Serota called to continue to the 
flop.
Serota checked in the dark and Lang moved all in for 185,000. Serota slid in calling chips and the cards were on their backs.
Lang: 
Serota: 
Lang was ahead with a pair of aces but Serota had a flush draw. Lang, however, managed to dodge Serota's outs on the turn and 
river, scooping the pot with aces up.

Michael Mizrachi: 
Gary Benson: 
Benson had the preflop edge with his kings and Mizrachi needed to improve to win. The board ran out 
to give both players a flush and Benson took the pot with the bigger one to double up.
