Another day of poker is over for the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

After yesterday's bracelet win for Phil Ivey, Day 18 of the series was a little quieter. Even so, there was plenty of action and drama to go around.

Phillip Hui won his fourth-bracelet in the Event #35: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E., overcoming a huge chip disadvantage during heads up play to emerge victorious.

Meanwhile, Antonio Galiana pulled off an incredible bluff heads up in Event #34: $2,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em against Johan Guilbert. The bluff put Galiana in a commanding position and he went on to take the event down, winning his first-ever WSOP bracelet and $439,395.

$800 Final Table Packed With High Rollers

Despite the low stakes, the final table of Event #36: $800 8-Handed No-Limit Hold'em DeepStack is packed with high rollers.

Originally scheduled as a two-day event, the $800 DeepStack got an extra day after the final table consolidated today around chip leader Timur Margolin. Margolin is a high stakes pro with $2,220,755 in live cashes under his belt and a WSOP on his wrist. He is joined at the final table by a brace of other high-rolling crushers �� Adam Hendrix ($6,423,859 in prior live cashes), Joseph Couden ($2,774,543 in prior cashes).

These three are just the biggest names remaining from a massive field of 4,278 entries which generated total prize pool of $3,011,712.

Day 2 started with just 259 of those players having bagged. Among them were notables like Ari Engel, Joe Cada, Michael Wang, and Ryan Riess all of whom busted early in the day while Martin Zamani made a much deeper run all the way to to 27th before falling.

Now, nine players remain to return for Day 3 at 1 p.m. local on June 15. All nine are guaranteed at least the final table min-cash of $32,288. However, whoever comes first on Day 3 will be shooting for the first-place prize of $342,551.

Five-card Omaha is in with the Event #37: $10,000 Big O Championship finishing up an exciting Day 2 with experienced pro Calvin Anderson leading the field.

Once late registration closed there were 140 players in the mix on Day 2. The total number of entries was confirmed as 332 for a prize pool of $3,087,600 and a top prize of $681,998.

The money broke on Day 2, but not before Amir Wahab and Zhen Cai busted. As the field shrank, several other big names hit the rail to collect their checks. These included David Williams, Mike Matusow, Yuval Bronshtein, Justin Saliba, Matt Glantz, and Sean Winter.

Nineteen players were still in the action at the end of Day 2.

John Fauver is currently sitting at number two in the chip counts. Dylan Weisman is in third while big names like David Benyamine, Adam Friedman, and three-time bracelet winner Ryan Hughes are all still in the mix. Danny Wong is back in the action after his runner-up finish against Phil Ivey in the $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw event yesterday.

These players will all return at 1 p.m. local time on June 15 to play down to a winner.

Ryan Sullivan (915,000) is the Day 1a chip leader in Event #38: $1,500 Monster Stack No-Limit Hold'em. Sullivan has a solid lead over Cristian Tuica (728,500) in second place and John Oshea (609,500) in third.

Sullivan leads a field that pulled in 3,139 entries for a prize pool of $4,190,565. With two more Day 1 flights to go, this event is on track to beat last year's record-setting attendance by a small margin.

There were 737 players still in the event at the close of play. Among the survivors were 2015 WSOP Main Event Champion Joe McKeehen (228,000) and other notable players like Joe Cada (40,000), Brian Hastings (69,500), Allen Cunningham (117,500), Tiffany Michelle (284,500), Maria Ho (310,000), Felipe Ramos (370,000), and Martin Kabrhel (371,500).

High-stakes rounder Ryan Leng (502,500) even broke the top ten, taking the number eight spot in the chip counts.

The best players in the world turned out for Day 1 of Event #39: $50,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em (8-Handed). The event has attracted 134 entries so far, putting the prize pool currently at $6,398,500. However, with two more levels of late registration to go, that number will certainly increase as will the number of big-name players.

Of those 134 entries, 68 players bagged a stack for Day 2. Japan's Masashi Oya (1,570,000) pulled away from the pack, finishing the day as the chip leader by a small margin. His closest competition is the German Marius Gierse (1,516,000) who is right on Oya's tail with just five big blinds separating the pair.

Some of the biggest bags were held by poker legends like Phil Ivey (888,000), Viktor Blom (866,000), Ben Heath (859,000), Adrian Mateos (844,000), Isaac Haxton (740,000), and Daniel Negreanu (458,000).

At the other end of the spectrum, Brek Schutten (151,000), Kahle Burns (110,000), and Justin Bonomo (79,000) come into Day 2 with less than 13 big blinds.

Day 2 starts at 12 p.m. on June 15 for ten more 60-minute levels. Registration will remain open until the end of Level 10.

World Series of Poker

Day 19 of the 2024 World Series of Poker will be June 15. Two events are scheduled to start on this day.

The most interesting of these events is the inaugural Event #41: $1,500 Mixed NLH/PLO Double Board Bomb Pot. The other event is another $10k championship that should attract a lot of big names �� Event #42: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship.

The star-studded final table of Event #36, which is led by Timur Margolin, should attract a fair few viewers and will be the only bracelet awarded on Day 19.

Four other events will continue to play out.

The Monster Stack has its second Day 1 flight. The day is expected to be a big one, so players would be advised to register early on.

High rollers will be fighting it out for Day 2 of Event #39 while the lower rolling Event #40: $1,500 Razz also plays out its Day 2. In between the two, Event #37: $10,000 Big O Championship will be playing down to five players.
