A Winner Will Be Crowned in Event #9: €1,650 Pot-Limit Omaha/No-Limit Hold'em Mix!
The action is set to resume at 2 p.m for Day 2 of Event #9: €1,650 Pot-Limit Omaha/No-Limit Hold'em Mix inside the Poker Arena at King's Resort in Rozvadov. There will be 56 players returning to the felt with Shahaf Nacson leading them all, bringing 436,000 chips with him.
The field returning for Day 2 contains some of the best mixed game players in WSOP history and announces plenty of action, including multiple bracelet-winners Jeff Lisandro (287,000), Jeff Madsen (238,500), Asi Moshe (292,500), Chris Ferguson (179,000) and Daniel Negreanu (85,000).
Shaun Deeb, the new leader at the top of the WSOP Player of the Year leaderboard, bagged a nice 234,000 and will be looking for another deep run in this event. Other notables still on Day 2 are Quan Zhou (327,000), Erik Cajelais (214,000), Ismael Bojang (169,500), Roland Israleshvili (99,000) and Samuel Higgs (81,500).
With 56 players remaining and with 42 being paid, the early stages will no doubt be cautious as players battle to cash in this event, who attracted a total of 279 entries yesterday, 38 more than last year, to create a prizepool of €418,500 and a nice €97,365 payday for the new champion.
As yesterday, the levels will last 40 minutes with 15-minute breaks every three levels or color-ups. There will be a 60-minute break after level 23, which should be around 8.30 p.m. The plan is to play down to a winner.
