Event #82: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha (6-Handed)
Giorno 2 completo
Day 2 of Event #82: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed at the 2023 World Series of Poker has come to an end, and Dustin Goldklang (4,225,000) leads the final 35 players into Day 3.
Goldklang, a native of North Carolina, has nearly one million chips more than his closest competitor, Chicago’s own Connor Drinan (3,270,000). Marc Lagaze (2,530,000), Matthew Parry (2,500,000), and Benjamin Juhasz (2,480,000) round out the top five while Lukas Zaskodny (2,035,000) is the only other player over two million chips.
Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Dustin Goldklang | United States | 4,225,000 | 169 |
2 | Connor Drinan | United States | 3,270,000 | 131 |
3 | Marc Lagaze | France | 2,530,000 | 101 |
4 | Matthew Parry | United States | 2,500,000 | 100 |
5 | Benjamin Juhasz | Hungary | 2,480,000 | 99 |
6 | Lukas Zaskodny | Czech Republic | 2,035,000 | 81 |
7 | Brandon Shack-Harris | United States | 1,865,000 | 75 |
8 | Tyler Gaston | United States | 1,745,000 | 70 |
9 | Joshua Stefansky | United States | 1,670,000 | 67 |
10 | Eric Hayes | United States | 1,430,000 | 57 |
A total of 216 players returned for Day 2 after the event drew 1,013 entries, creating a prize pool of $2,704,710.
Goldklang has the lead after he consistently chipped up all day and made a charge in the final levels thanks to the double knockout of Sam Farha and Francisco Perez Moreno.
Day 1 chip leader Tyler Gaston picked up where he left off, and his strong Day 2 yielded an eighth-best 1,745,000 in the bag for Day 3. Gaston, a public defender in Las Vegas, has over $700,000 in career earnings thanks, in part, to a third-place finish in the 2022 edition of the Millionaire Maker event for $522,705.
Brandon Shack-Harris also returns with a top-ten stack in search of his third WSOP title on Day 3. Both of his bracelets have come in Pot-Limit Omaha events – the first coming in 2014 in the $1,000 edition and again in 2016 in the $10,000 championship. Shack-Harris is joined in the top ten by bracelet winners Drinan and Zaskodny. Drinan won previously in the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo event in 2021 and on WSOP Online in 2020. Zaskodny won his title in the €2,200 Pot-Limit Omaha event at WSOP Europe in 2021.
Other bracelet winners returning for another taste on Day 3 include three-time winner Norbert Szecsi and recent winner Ian Matakis. Matakis is currently in the top spot on the Player of the Year leaderboard and a strong finish will put some space between him and the rest of the field.
Other returning players include Kane Kalas, Sokchheka Pho, and Joshua Stefansky.
Each of the returning 35 players is guaranteed $13,343, while the winner will take home $480,122 and the WSOP gold bracelet. Players return at 1:00 p.m. local on July 13 for Day 3, and blinds will resume in Level 21 at 10,000/25,000 with a 25,000 ante.

The tournament director has announced that players will bag their chips after their final three hands.
Action was caught after the flop of 9♣A♠7♠, and Kyle Merron checked from the big blind. Forrest Raleigh bet 20,000 from the cutoff, and Merron raised to 100,000. Raleigh took his time before making the call and both players showed their hands.
Forrest Raleigh: A♦10♥6♦J♠
Kyle Merron: A♣4♥Q♥9♥
The board ran out 3♣5♦ for Merron's Queen kicker to hold.

Sam Farha and Francisco Perez Moreno were seen exiting the tournament area as the two latest casualties in the final round of the evening. Farha's stack was sent in the direction of North Carolina's Dustin Goldklang, who extends his chip lead with a stack that nears the 3,000,000 mark.

Sam Farha's table is nearest to the area where the Main Event is behind held and a small crowd has gathered on his rail.
"Who are you cheering for?" Farha asked them.
The small crowd responded with calls of "You!" and "Sammy!" - but Farha suspected otherwise.
"Are you cheering for me or are you cheering for him?" Farha asked while pointing at the Hungarian Norbert Szecsi.
"Fifty percent you and fifty percent him," one railbird answered.
"That's fair," said Farha with a smile.
Will Berry had raised to 30,000 from middle position and Farha was the lone caller from the button. The flop was 4♣7♣J♣ and both players checked to see 5♠ on the turn. Berry bet 30,000 and Farha gave it up without much hesitation.
Meanwhile, Dylan Weisman was seen exiting the tournament area.

Dimitrios Michailidis called from the small blind and his opponent Kyle Merron checked from the big blind.
The flop came J♦3♠7♠, and Michailidis led out for 35,000. Merron was quick to call to the turn.
While the turn and river peeled the 8♥8♣, both players checked the two streets.
Michailidis revealed A♦J♠2♥2♣ as Merron threw his hand in the muck.
