Day 2 of Event #66: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship Begins at 2 p.m.
Welcome back for Day 2 of Event #66: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship that will get underway at 2 p.m. local time inside the Amazon Room of the Rio All-Suit Hotel and Casino. There will be at least 104 players returning to their seats of the 194 that entered the event on Day 1.
Leading the way is Brian Hastings who amassed a healthy stack of 477,000 chips in the opening 10 levels. Hastings already has four WSOP bracelets to his name but he will be looking to claim the top prize in the same event he finished in second place just two years ago. Hastings lost a heads-up battle with Nick Schulman who founds himself on the opposite end of the leaderboard after finishing Day 1 with just 29,500 chips.
Some other notables to keep an eye on heading to Day 2 include Tommy Chen (377,500), Chip Jett (308,500), Felipe Ramos (288,500), and Esther Taylor (240,000). The championship field is littered with former WSOP bracelet winners who will be looking to add to their collection. Anatolii Zyrin, Anthony Zinno, Yuval Bronshtein, and Josh Arieh have already claimed at least one title in 2021 and will be looking to put themselves in position once again as the tournament progresses.
The cards are scheduled to go in the air at 2 p.m. PST with another 10 levels of 60 minutes to be played on Day 2. Late registration will remain open until the start of play where each new entry will be granted a starting stack of 60,000 chips. The blinds will resume on level 11 at 1,000/2,500 with a big blind ante of 2,500. There will be a 60-minute dinner break after level 16 which will occur at approximately 8:30 p.m.
