Jamie Gold

Day 35 of the 2015 World Series of Poker was one of the more quiet ones of the summer. Only four tournaments were on the docket and the only third day of an event failed to produce a winner. Still, the stage was set for an exciting Day 36.

Jamie Gold 2nd in Chips as 37 Players Remain in Event #59

Day 2 of Event #59: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em is in the books. 309 players returned from the starting field of 2,155 and while Guiliano Bendinelli holds the chip lead, none other than 2006 WSOP Main Event champion Jamie Gold is right behind him in the chip counts with 37 players remaining.

In addition to Gold, the top 10 is stacked with the likes of Ari Engel, Harrison Gimbel, Joe Kuether and 2014 WSOP Ladies champion Haixia Zhang.

Others still in hunt include Mark Darner (492,000), Michael Banducci (471,000), Yorane Kerignard (300,000), Mario Silvestri (281,000) and William Reynolds (185,000).

Play resumes at 1 p.m. Wednesday and the plan is to play down to a winner.

Anthony Zinno Eyes Fifth Final Table and First Bracelet

The starting field of 175 is down to just 12 players in Event #60: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller. Up top is a seven-figure pay day of $1,122,196 and the prestigious WSOP gold bracelet. The remaining field is stacked and leading the way is Anthony Zinno, fresh off of his fourth final table of the summer on Monday night in the High Roller for ONE DROP, where he finished in seventh place for $565,864.

Here are the chip counts for the remaining 12 players:

Play resumes at 2 p.m. Wednesday and at this point, it remains unclear what exactly the plan is for Day 3. The tournament was scheduled for four days, but it is likely that 10 levels will be played on Day 3 and a winner could very well emerge.

Nakai Leads Wiener for the Bracelet in Event #57

Day 3 of Event #57: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em began with Stephen Graner holding nearly a 2:1 lead over his nearest competitor with 26 players remaining, but Graner came up short of the final table and finished in 11th place for $22,944.

After 10 levels of play, two players still remain with hopes of capturing the bracelet. Takahiro Nakai (11,170,000) holds a sizable chip lead over Mel Wiener (1,315,000) entering Day 4, which commences at 1 p.m. Wednesday.
