2024 World Series of Poker
Blind on blind, Clement Meunier took a look at his opponent's chip stack before moving all in. Jonah Labranche was in the big blind with 460,000 and called.
Jonah Labranche: A♣4♣
Clement Meunier: A♥5♣
The flop Q♥4♥2♦ saw Labranche take a surprise lead, but he picked up his cards in apparent annoyance as the 3♣ turn improved Meunier to a wheel. The river 2♥ couldn't save him and Labranche was eliminated.
David "ODB" Baker has already doubled his stack to more than 3.2 million since the start of the day and was just called up to the stage to pick a bounty envelope.
He scooted over and hopped onto the stage to select an envelope, then showed that he had picked out a $25,000 bounty, which means that there are still 28 $25,000 bounties left, and all the bigger prizes are still in play.
Dusti Smith was pulled up to the stage and attempted to FaceTime her dad to follow along live but was unable to. Lots of people were cheering for her from the audience. She first revealed a two and then showed a $25,000 bounty.
Shortly after, two $10,000 were also pulled while a few $5,000 bounties and lots of $1,000 have already been claimed with 747 players left in the field.
Cards are back in the air as play continues. The remaining players are still on the hunt for the two $1,000,000 bounties that remain in the bounty chest.
Nadav Bitton was close to the stage already when he saw that he was allowed to go up there for his bounty and found $25,000 in his envelope.
Min Sung Lee was up next and closed his eyes to pick up out an envelope with hopes of pulling something higher than $25,000, but came out with the same result.
It was Joseph Bosak's turn to see what bounty he earned and saw he was allowed to go to the chest to pull a physical bounty himself. He quickly made his way to the stage and Jeff Platt to rip open the seal of the envelope and reveal — a $25,000 bounty!
Players are getting knocked out quickly during the first level of Day 2. Dealers are completing the current hand and the clock is paused for the time being, while bounties are being collected and tables are being condensed.
