Welcome back to Day 2 of Event #35: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha where Jarred Solomon returns to the biggest stack of the 137 survivors of Day 1. The South African hopes to continue forward with his first-day momentum, perhaps to position himself for a run at improving on his second-place finish in the $10,000 buy-in PLO championship two years ago.
Solomon will have a difficult group of competitors with whom to contend, however, in order to reach that goal. There's Joshua Ladines sitting with a stack nearly as big, plus several other familiar names among those also coming back to big stacks today, including Steve Sung, Giuseppe Pantaleo, Josh Arieh, Christian Harder, and Jonathan Duhamel.
Lots of other tough competitors lurk below the leaders, just one or two pot-sized reraises away from building stacks of challenging chips. Tom Schneider — winner of two bracelets this summer and four in his career — is still among the field, as is 13-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, nine-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey, and Scott Clements who has a couple of Omaha bracelets (one PLO) and a runner-up finish this summer already in Event 11: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em (Six-Handed).
With 640 having entered, the top 72 finishers get paid in Event #35, meaning nearly half of the returners will be leaving empty-handed some time this afternoon. The plan will then be to play through 10 one-hour levels to set up tomorrow's final day of play.
Cards go in the air at 2 p.m. local time, with the first calls of "Raise pot!" to come shortly thereafter. See you back here then as we'll be here all day and night to bring you Day 2 action from "the action game" of PLO.
Meanwhile, here's Kristy Arnett with today's update from the WSOP:

There was a six-way limped pot over at Table 438 just now. All checked the flop, then when the turn brought the , Arthur Walker spoke up to disturb the scene's serenity.
"Pot," said Walker. "Forty-eight hundred," answered Chris the dealer instantly.
"You're good at math," said Josh Arieh to Chris as the table all folded to Walker's bet, reminding all of the challenge pot-limit games can sometimes provide. Chris nodded and slid the chips toward Walker, the amount of which was plain to all.

The action folded to overnight chip leader Jarred Solomon, who limped in. Jared Bleznick instantly raised to 2,400 in the big blind - accidentally tossing out too many chips initially - and Solomon called.
The dealer fanned , Solomon check-called a 3,000-chip bet, and the turn was the . Solomon quickly checked.
"OK," Bleznick told the dealer, knuckling behind.
The completed the board, and Solomon tossed out 4,000. Bleznick instantly called.
"Two pair," Solomon announced.
Bleznick lifted his four cards, and a snap of the wrist he spread them to reveal for a set of aces. He raked in the pot, and now sits with around 85,000 chips.
