Day 19 at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas was all about the action.

Timur Margolin won his first bracelet in Event #36: $800 8-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack with astonishing speed. The rapid-fire final table of the event took just four hours to play down from the final nine to the bracelet. Agharazi Babayev put up a good, if brief, defence heads up before busting in second and collecting $228,321.

Meanwhile, John Fauver was mopping up the last of his competition in Event #37: $10,000 Big O Championship earning his first bracelet and a $681,998 payday.

Elsewhere at the series, UFC announcer Bruce Buffer made the final thirteen of the $50k High Roller and Scott Seiver is close to his second bracelet of the year as he leads the final fourteen in the $1,500 Razz.

Andrew ��A.J.�� Kelsall won a late knockout hand against Masashi Oya to finish Day 1 of Event #42: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship with a bag of 294,000 in chips. This stack gave him the Day 1 chip lead.

The event started with just nine players showing up. However, with late registration still open well into Day 2, the field grew to 74 entries by close of play. This put the prize pool at $688,200, with more to come as entries will continue to trickle in until the end of level 11 during tomorrow's play.

Forty players found a bag on Day 1, including Chad Eveslage (191,500), Yuri Dzivielevski (169,500), and Mori Eskandani (103,500). Defending champ Brian Yoon won his fifth bracelet in this event last year and has returned this year, finishing Day 1 with 130,500 in his stack.

The survivors (and any new late registrees) will return at 1 p.m. local time on June 16.

What to Expect on Day 20 of the 2024 WSOP

WSOP Cards, Chips, Branding 2024
WSOP

June 16 is the 20th day of the 2024 WSOP. There will be two bracelets won. Scott Seiver is going after his second bracelet of the series in the final fourteen of the $1,500 Razz while Bruce Buffer is looking to win his first in the $50,000 High Roller where Viktor Blom leads the field.

Day 1c of the $1,500 Monster Stack will see if the already massive event will be able to beat last year's numbers. With 6,636 players already entered, the odds are looking good. Day 1c is the final Day 1 flight, so this is the players' last chance to win a Day 2 bag.

Events #41 and #42 will continue to play on Day 20 of the WSOP. Both of these three-day events are going into their second days.

Omaha fans will be able to look forward to the pithily named Event #43: $1,500 Mixed: Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better; Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better; Big O (7-Handed), which will kick off at 2 p.m.

Event #43 is only new event scheduled for Day 20.

You can follow all these events (and the rest of the 2024 WSOP) live on PokerNews.
