Jour 2 terminé
Day 2 of the Event #63: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship at the 2022 World Series of Poker was full of big names and big action.Despite 140 players starting the day, only 20 remain for Day 3 and will be hoping to claim the illustrious WSOP gold bracelet along with $611,362 in prize money for first place.
Before play started on Thursday, 16 more couldn't resist expanding the record-setting field to 284 entries, blowing away the previous mark of 237 players in 2018 and pushing the prize pool to a whopping $2,648,300.
Hoping to put the cherry on top of a legendary poker career is David "Chino" Rheem, who is nearly 30 big blinds ahead of the field right now with 2,595,000 in chips, the only player to break two million. Despite numerous victories, a Main Event final table appearance, and over $12.4 million in earnings, Rheem is still missing a WSOP gold bracelet in his collection and will look to finally take one home this weekend.
