Abrams Tops Pack Ahead of Day 2 in Event #21: $1,500 Mixed Omaha
Scott Abrams heads the field of 199 hopefuls returning for Day 2 of Event #21: $1,500 Mixed Omaha, with 96 of those making the money. A successful Omaha and mixed game player with 28 WSOP cashes to his name, Abrams will take 275,000 chips into Monday’s play.
Plenty of notables successfully navigated their way through the field of 641 runners, including the champion of Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Ari Engel, who enters the day among the chip leaders with 230,000.
Some of the other mixed game stars and bracelet winners still in the field include 2019 $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better champ Derek McMaster (162,500), six-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu, (147,000), two-time $50,000 Poker Players Championship winner Brian Rast (147,000), six-time bracelet winner Ted Forrest (128,000), Event #16: $10,000 Limit Hold’em champion John Monnette (103,500), and runner-up in the 2019 edition of this event, Yueqi Zhu (54,000).
The defending champion however will not be among those competing for the gold bracelet and the $170,269 top prize, as Anatolii Zyrin fell midway through Day 1.
Action resumes with level 16 at 2:00 pm local time in the Amazon room. Ten 60-minute levels will be played with a 60-minute dinner break after level 21.
