Ivey made it through the opening two rounds, defeating Henri Puustinen and Jeremy Ausmus in the process. He will now face Kevin Rabichow in Round 3 with a possible matchup vs John Smith in Round 4.
Other notables making it through to Day 2 include 2021 WSOP Main Event champion Koray Aldemir who will take on fellow German Christoph Vogelsang. Chance Kornuth is riding a wave of momentum after his first WPT title and a second-place finish in the first high roller of the series. He will be facing off against Patrick Kennedy while Alex Foxen still looks for his first WSOP bracelet when he takes on Dan Smith.
