Welcome to Day 2 of Event #69: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better at the 2024 World Series of Poker. There were 611 entries yesterday for a chance at WSOP gold and only 157 return today.

It is currently a three horse race at the top of the leaderboard. Jon Turner bagged the chip lead with 329,000. but he is followed closely behind by Denis Strebkov (327,500) and Christian Roberts (321,000).

Strebkov and Roberts accumulated large stacks toward the end of Day 1, but it was Turner who made a surge in the final level of the day to earn the title of Day 1 chipleader.

Top Ten Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chips	Big Bets
1	Jon Turner	United States	329,000	33
2	Denis Strebkov	Russia	327,500	33
3	Christian Roberts	Venezuela	321,500	32

9	Ryutaro Suzuki	Japan	187,000	19
10	David Emmons	United States	183,500	18

One storyline of interest is that of Phil Hellmuth, the 17-time bracelet winner, maintained a solid stack throughout the day yesterday including a hand in which he made a straight flush. The Poker Hall of Famer enters the day 17th out of 157 with 161,000 and looks to make another deep run in an event in which he does not yet have a bracelet.

With many old school legends winning bracelets this year, including John Hennigan, Phil Ivey, Nick Schulman, Scott Seiver, and most recently Daniel Negreanu, perhaps it is Hellmuth's turn to make a deep run as he works towards number 18.

The players return today at 1 p.m. local time in the Horseshoe Event Center. The action returns in Level 16 with limits at 5,000/10,000. The remaining contenders will play ten 60-minute levels today.

Be sure to stay with the Pokernews team as we provide updates throughout the day and for all events at the 2024 World Series of Poker.
