End of Day 2

Vanessa Selbst, chip leader heading into Event No. 19 final table
Vanessa Selbst, chip leader heading into Event No. 19 final table
After a fast and furious Day 1 that saw 759 runners play down to 46, we saw another wild day today as players raced their way down to tomorrow's final nine in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event.

Vanessa Selbst maintained a large chip advantage throughout, constantly applying pressure to the shorter stacks. As the blinds rose, we witnessed more and more classic PLO race situations as made hands vied with big draws for ever-increasing piles of chips.

We careened toward those last couple of orbits at the ten-handed table. Then, after play had slowed considerably for a half-hour, our day concluded with that breathtaking final hand which ended with Selbst having approximately half the chips in play.

So all of you Omahalics, be sure to come back here tomorrow at 2pm Vegas time for more of "the action game." And thanks, as always, for following along thus far.
