Dia 2 Concluído
Day 2 of Event #29: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship at the 2024 World Series of Poker has come to a close with only 13 players remaining from a field of 149 entrants.
Danny Wong finished the night with the overall chip lead, bagging 1,315.000 chips going into Day 3. Wong will be seeking to capture his second bracelet in this event after claiming his first last year.
Wong will have stiff competition going into tomorrow as he is most closely followed by six-time bracelet winner Jason Mercier (1,165,000) and five-time bracelet winner and defending champion Benny Glaser (1,025,000). Rounding out the top five are Philip Sternheimer (790,000) and ten-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey (755,000).

The Triple Draw Championship attracted a star-studded field of mixed game specialists and poker legends. With one hour of late registration available after the start of play today, many notables joined the field, including Ivey, Ben Lamb, Brian Rast and Keith Lehr. Rast and Lamb couldn't find much momentum and were among the early bust-outs of the day along with Chad Eveslage, Yuri Dzivielevski, John Monnette, David Prociak and Maxx Coleman.
Jerry Wong became the unfortunate soul to exit on the stone bubble after his stack was decimated in a hand against Mercier. Wong was left with just a single chip following that hand, which would be claimed by Chino Rheem a few hands later. From that point, all players were guaranteed a min-cash of $20,272, but all had their sights set on the top prize of $347,440.
Other notables to make the money but fall before the end of the night include Lehr, Nacho Barbero, Rheem, and the start of day chip leader Naoya Kihara.
Wong's ascent to the top of the counts came late in the night after making a monster hand on the first draw while up against Benny Glaser and getting max value. Although that hand saw Glaser fall back to the middle of the pack, he was never truly short and after eliminating Motoyoshi Okamura, the defending champion quickly found himself back near the top of the counts.
Players will return on June 12 at Level 18 with the blinds at 10,000/20,000 and limits at 20,000/40,000. The day begins at 1 p.m. local time. Levels will be 90 minutes in length and the intention is to play down to a winner.
As always, stay tuned to PokerNews as we bring you all the action for this event until a new bracelet winner is crowned here at the 2024 WSOP at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
