Four Former Bracelet Winners Among 36 Survivors After Day 2 in Event #4: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Nível 20
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
After the field of 911 entries in the 2018 World Series of Poker Event #4: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better had been cut down to 296 hopefuls in the first 10 levels of the tournament, the second day narrowed down the contenders for the top prize of $239,771 and the elusive gold bracelet to just 36.
All Day 2 survivors have $5,605 locked up for their efforts and Brandon Ageloff secured the top spot with a stack of 555,000. The American already has one WSOP final table appearance to his name after finishing third in Event #52: $ 1,500 No Limit Hold'em at the 2017 WSOP for a career-best score of $161,844. Matt Woodward is the only other player with more than half a million in chips and will return for Day 3 with 505,000.
Four former WSOP bracelet winners are still in contention for another shot at glory at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas: Chris Bjorin (488,000), Mike Wattel (262,000), Mike Leah (99,000) and Jason Lester (95,000) navigated through the minefield of money day, which left more than half of the returning field without anything to show for all their hard work.
Other notables through to Day 3 include Chad Eveslage (364,000), Jeff Shulman (291,000), Daniel Buzgon (173,000), Kate Hoang (167,000), Julien Martini (140,000), James Chen (110,000), Danny Wong (76,000) and 2016 WSOP Main Event 8th place finisher Jerry "HumLun" Wong (48,000).
Action of the Day:
Plenty of notables had made it through the day but failed to reach the money such as Layne Flack, Matt Waxman, Jeff Madsen, Sebastian Langrock, Frank Kassela, Ashton Griffin, Jeremy Ausmus, Justin Liberto, Mike Matusow, Christopher Vitch, Chris Klodnicki and Scott Clements.
Just before the money bubble, Monty Dennis busted despite getting it in with a better two pair, a flush draw and the nut low draw as Pamela McPeak's inferior two pair improved to an unlikely full house. Not even five minutes later, several other players had busted and no hand-for-hand was required. The last player to leave empty-handed was Benjamin Scholl, who held two pair and saw his low draw get counterfeited against the better two pair of Denny Axel.
The floodgates were opened right there and many notables soon headed to the rail such as Ryan Laplante, Chris Tryba, David "Bakes" Baker, Daniel Weinman, Mark Gregorich, Robert Mizrachi and John Racener. Day 1 chip leader Dao Bac had to settle for 81st place and Allen Kessler also received $2,823 for his 75th place finish.
John Monnette ran out of chips in a three-way pot against Perry Friedman and Victor Ramdin, while 3-time WSOP bracelet winner and the 2016 champion of this very event, Benny Glaser, followed soon after. Glaser was left short in a battle with Shaun Deeb and got it in with a set only for Rylen Sanehisa to river a wheel and scoop the entire pot. Friedman (54th place) and Deeb (44th place) were among the late victims before a rush at the end of the night also saw Peter Eichhardt and Ramdin depart.
The action will resume at 2 p.m. local time on Saturday, June 2nd, 2018, with level 21 and blinds of 5,000/10,000. With the big bet at 10,000, the action is expected to escalate early on, whether or not the tournament will play down to a champion on Day 3 or requires an additional day remains to be seen. The final table is set to be streamed on the Twitch Channel of PokerGo.

Day 2 Complete
Nível 20
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Day 2 has wrapped up and 36 players made it to the third day. Brandon Ageloff is the chipleader with 555,000 chips. All chip counts and an end of day recap will follow.
Ramdin Busts to King-Seven High
Nível 20
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Peter Eichhardt ran out of chips and so did Victor Ramdin and Tommy Chen in the final hand of the night on their respective tables.
Ramdin had chopped in the penultimate hand and then raised the small blind, Christopher Roth called in the big blind, admitting he had a "really bad hand."
On the 
flop, Ramdin bet, got raised and moved all in, both short stacks ended up tabling their cards.
Victor Ramdin: 
Christopher Roth: 
"What, you don't even have a pair yet? High cards please," Roth demanded while Ramdin had enormous outs to get there. However, both the 
turn and the 
river bricked off and Roth won the hand with king-seven high!
There will be 36 players remaining when the action resumes on Day 3.

Visbisky Busts to Concepcion
Nível 20
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
The chip lead is wide open with only a few minutes to go before the clocks will be stopped and it is Rafael Concepcion that took a step forward after eliminating table neighbor Alex Visbisky. The board was all but rushed away and Visbisky's 
ended up second best to the of Concepcion.
It was not the last bustout of the night, though, as Joseph Brodsky sent over his stack to Tommy Chen.
