As the series winds to a close, the final PLO event of the 2024 WSOP comes in the form of Event #97: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed, where 844 players came out to give one last shot at a bracelet in this variant. This created an overall prize pool of $2,253,480, of which 127 players saw a piece in the form of at least a payout of $6,021. The final 17 are guaranteed a minimum payout of $20,595, with all eyes on the first-place prize of $390,621 on top of the WSOP gold bracelet.
Leading the way is Andrew Watson, who bagged up 5,200,000 for the third day. The Tulsa, Oklahoma, resident secured his fifth WSOP cash of the year and will be working on getting his first WSOP bracelet. With $1,303,842 in lifetime earnings and multiple deep runs in PLO events this year, he looks to use his massive stack effectively tomorrow in his quest to run deeper.
Others who bagged included Martin Zamani (3,250,000), Ronald Keijzer (2,735,000), Ari Engel (1,880,000), Dylan Weisman (1,825,000), Alex Livingston (1,685,000), and Shaun Deeb (1,675,000). Each of them is looking to carve out a piece of WSOP history as the series approaches its end.

Day 2 Action
It did not take long for the bubble to burst, as 134 players returned to their seats and 127 places were paid. When the bubble came around, it was Chino Rheem who called off correctly with aces in a massive pot on the flop against Hokyiu Lee who only held second pair. He managed to pair up with one of his other cards to see Lee scoop the sizable pot while Rheem exited the tournament one shy of the money.
After that, an array of big names in the poker world fell as the day progressed. Jared Jaffee (115th - $6,021), Danny Wong (113th - $6,021), and Ray Fishman (88th - $6,172) all fell quickly after the bubble burst. Start of day chip leader Scott Ball (74th - $6,322) saw his hopes for a third bracelet dashed. Last year’s WSOP Player of the Year Ian Matakis (60th - $6,532) was unable to keep the momentum going to secure another bracelet.
After that, the eliminations kept coming as Patrick Moulder (54th - $6,927), Yuri Dzivielevski (48th - $7,534), Ethan “Rampage” Yau (45th-$8,401), Lawrence Brandt (38th - $9,598), and Jim Collopy (24th - $13,439) all fell before night’s end. They will have one final shot tomorrow to win a bracelet this summer before turning their eyes outside of Vegas to claim one.
Play will resume at 1 p.m. on July 17 at Level 23. Blinds will return to 20,000/40,000 with a 40,000 big blind ante. Levels will last one hour each, and play will continue until a winner is crowned.

After a preflop betting war, Gary Bolden and Alex Foxen got all of their chips into the middle, with Bolden at risk.
Gary Bolden: A♣K♦10♦5♦
Alex Foxen: Q♠10♥7♠7♣
The flop of A♠2♣K♠ put Bolden in the lead with top two pair, but the turn was the 7♥ to give Foxen a set of sevens to give him the upper hand. The river Q♦ changed nothing and Foxen was pushed the pot while Bolden was eliminated in 18th place.

Andrew Watson raised to 70,000 in first position which saw Zachary Reinbold call on the button and Matt Stout called in the big blind to put himself at risk.
The flop rolled out 6♥2♥8♣ and Watson check-called a bet of 120,000 from Reinbold.
Both players checked the A♥ turn to the 8♦ river where Watson bet and Reinbold folded before the bet came out.
Matt Stout: K♣Q♦7♥4♣
Andrew Watson: A♠Q♥8♥5♠
Watson's full house was good for the pot as Stout was eliminated from the tournament.

Arriving on a turn of 6♠2♣K♥9♦ with 1,085,000 chips in the middle, Christopher Roth shipped in his stack of 980,000 chips from the big blind.
Shaun Deeb was his opponent, and he made the call on the button with the covering stack.
Christopher Roth: K♠K♣J♥9♠
Shaun Deeb: K♦Q♠10♥2♠
"Don't do it," Roth begged, referring to Deeb's gutshot. However, the Q♥ river remained safe for him as he was awarded the massive pot late on Day 2.

Martin Zamani raised to 100,000 as first to act and was called by Alex Foxen on the button. Tolga Demirel then made it 415.000 to go in the big blind and saw only Foxen make the call.
Demirel piled in his last 165,000 chips on the 4♦3♥4♣ flop and was quickly called by Foxen, who had the bigger stack.
Tolga Demirel: A♥K♦Q♠9♠
Alex Foxen: K♠K♣7♥3♠
Foxen had a strong lead with his kings, although the Q♣ turn did give Demirel some extra outs.
The A♣ came on the river to make Demirel a superior pair of aces, and he raked in the double-up with less than 15 minutes to play on Day 2.
