Welcome to another day of the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas.
Kicking off at 2 p.m. local time on Wednesday, June 8 is Day 2 of Event #15: $10,000 Omaha Ho-Lo 8 or Better Championship, which sees 94 of the 180 entries returning for another day of split pot action.
That number could still increase, as late registration is upon until Day 2 gets underway. Any Day 2 entries will help inflate the already generated $1,678,500 prize pool.
Day 1 of this event saw Bryce Yockey (398,000) bag and tag the biggest stack, while Ray Dehkharghani (350,000) and Jesse Klein (333,000) were the only other two players to amass stacks north of 300,000.
The current field is littered with more than 35 bracelet winners, who will all be vying to add to their collection. None though, have more than Erik Seidel (80,000), who is on the hunt for his tenth WSOP bracelet.
Phil Hellmuth, who finished in 136th place ($2,400) in the $1,500 edition of this event, was expected to show up, but the leading all-time bracelet winner has, unfortunately, come down with a bout of COVID-19 and will have to miss out.
Just tested positive for Covid. Thought maybe I was immune (neither of my sons got it, nor did my Mom)…Good news: n… https://t.co/WpAn1tSj7q

Day 2 sees levels increase to 90-minutes and will close upon the completion of Level 17. There will be 10-minute breaks after every level and a 60-minute dinner break is scheduled after Level 14 (≈ 8:30 p.m.)
