Many notable players found large bags for Day 2, including Brian Rast (195,000), Adam Friedman (188,000), and Robert Mizrachi (184,000).
Some who were less fortunate and did not bag include Scotty Nguyen, Josh Arieh, Brad Ruben, Mori Eskandani, and Kevin Gerhart.
Defending champion Ryutaro Suzuki survived the day and bagged 34,500. The 2021 champion of the inaugural edition of this event, Nicholas Julia, bagged 78,500.
The event began small, with less than 100 players at the first shuffle. However, this number grew rapidly as many notable players and mixed-game enthusiasts joined in the action. A total of 379 players entered the event, narrowly eclipsing the 361 from last year.
The combination of big bet and limit games in this format created the possibility of massive pots from the first hand of the day. This was seen as early as Level 2 when David Arganian made a higher full house than Mark Gregorich in a hand of Pot-Limit Omaha and left the latter on fumes early in the day. Gregorich rebounded from this cooler but did not find a bag at day’s end.
As the blinds and limits increased, so did the action. In no game can the chips go into the middle faster than Pot-Limit Omaha. Warwick Mirzikinian was the beneficiary of a gigantic pot of over 165,000 chips all-in preflop. Mirzikinian’s Q♥J♣10♦6♣ made a straight on the river as he raked in the largest pot of the day.
As the day progressed, some chip leaders began to emerge. Richard Ashby steadily built his stack throughout the day and kept his foot on the gas. Ashby hit a gutshot Broadway draw on seventh street in a massive hand of Seven-Card Stud to propel him into the chip lead. Ashby won his second bracelet last week in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event. He'll fancy his chances of completing a hat-trick in a couple of days' time.
Play will resume in Level 13 with limits at 4,000/8,000 at 1 p.m. on June 21 in the Horseshoe Event Center. The returning 139 players will play another ten 60-minute levels with a 15-minute break every two hours, as well as a 60-minute dinner break after Level 18.
As always, stay tuned to PokerNews for continued coverage of Event #53: $3,000 Nine Game Mixed and all other live bracelet-awarding events at the 2024 World Series of Poker.

The remaining players have all bagged and tagged their chips for the night. Cards will be back at 1 p.m. local time the following day and some 139 contenders are advanced. Notable chip counts and a recap of today's action are to follow.
2-7 Triple Draw
Antonio Seremet and Richard Ashby were gunning for the lead and it appears the latter has snatched it despite losing the final hand of the night.
Ashby raised the button for Eoghan O'Dea to call and O'Dea discarded three while Ashby took one. O'Dea check-called a bet and they took one each. The Irishman then bet for Ashby to call.
O'Dea patted the final draw and Ashby took one more card. The bet followed and Ashby folded.
"Eight-six no good?" the chip leader inquired.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
A short stack was all-in for fumes and Andres Korn called out of the big blind, then patted. The player at risk discarded one and Korn revealed 10x9x5x3x2x. His opponent "improved" but only made a 10x9x7x6x4x to hit the rail.
Also no longer in contention are Anson Tsang and Max Kruse.

The floor has paused the clock with 10:00 left in Level 12 and announced that each table will play three more hands before bagging up for the night.
Tomasz Gluszko limped the button, the small blind limped, and David Prociak potted to 6,400 from the big blind. Only Gluszko called.
On the 10♦8♦8♣ flop, Prociak checked, Gluszko bet 5,000, Prociak potted, Gluszko jammed and Prociak called all-in for 37,000.
David Prociak: Q♠Q♦J♠9♣
Tomasz Gluszko: A♦10♥9♦2♥
The board bricked off and Gluszko held to eliminate Prociak, who already has a bracelet this summer and a third place finish in the $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha today.

Omaha Hi-Lo
Yueqi Zhu had been the preflop button raiser with the small blind and the big blind coming along, the latter of which was Ray Henson. The board was already completed and showed Q♠5♥5♠10♥J♥ with the small blind at risk and awaiting his fate. Henson had bet and Zhu was in the brief tank before they discussed the hand.
"Oh, I know you have ace-king-five," Henson told Zhu and the latter eventually called. Henson showed his 10♠8♥7♠5♦ for a turned full house and the small blind tossed his cards right into the muck.
Zhu briefly showed the A♦K♦5♣3♦ as the entire pot was sent to Henson.
