The World Series of Poker is celebrating its 55th edition in 2024. In that time, only eight players have managed to win seven (or more) bracelets. They are among the legendary names of the game: Hellmuth, Brunson, Chan, and Ivey among them.

Shaun Deeb, Brian Rast, and John Hennigan look to make a run at joining this illustrious list when Day 2 of Event #7: $1,500 Dealer’s Choice begins at 1 p.m. local time inside the Horseshoe Las Vegas Event Center.

Deeb (134,500), Rast (132,000), and Hennigan (121,500) are three of the 126 players returning for Day 2 out of a record-breaking field of 530 entries. They are looking up at chip leader Michael Wagner, who takes a stack of 272,000 into the event’s penultimate day. Jacob Hamed (262,500), Benny Glaser (261,500), Scott Bohlman (259,000), and A.J. Kelsall (240,500) round out the top five.

Other players still in contention include Jeff Madsen (193,000), Brandon Shack-Harris (161,000), Scott Clements (159,000), Chino Rheem (152,500), Julien Martini (144,000), and Toby Lewis (130,000). Further down the leaderboard are 2019 PPC champion Phil Hui (105,000), Jerry Wong (99,000), reigning world champion Daniel Weinman (95,000), and online legend Viktor Blom (81,000).

The action on Day 2 resumes on Level 16 with 1,000-2,500 blinds in Pot-Limit and No-Limit games and 5,000-10,000 limits in the Limit games. Levels are now 60 minutes long. There is a 15-minute break every two levels, and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 21 around 7:30 p.m. Day 2 is scheduled to play ten levels.

Only the top 80 players will make the money, so the first order of business on the day will be to burst the bubble. A min-cash is worth $3,017, while the eventual champion earns $138,296.

Stay tuned to PokerNews throughout the day for all the live updates.
