A total of 799 entries took to the felt in Event #30: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha, but just 130 will return for Day 2 action. When play resumes at 12 noon local time, the field will be just 10 eliminations away from the money. A min-cash is good for $2,255, but all eyes are fixed on the top prize of $217,123 and WSOP gold bracelet.

Michael Heritsch is currently at the head of the pack with 141,000. Frank Williams (128,100), Aaron Anderson (123,700), Mike Shin (121,600), and Pim van Holsteyn (118,800) round out the top five stacks.

Quite a few familiar faces advanced alongside the chip leaders, including two-time bracelet winner Scott Clements (97,800) and 2012 Main Event runner-up Jesse Sylvia (92,800). Victor Ramdin (73,500), DJ MacKinnon (64,300), Dutch Boyd (61,700), Eoghan O'Dea (60,300), Jared Hamby (34,200), and Scott Davies (24,400) are also still in the hunt.

The plan for Day 2 is to play 10 one-hour levels with 15-minute breaks every two levels and a one-hour dinner break after six levels (at approximately 6:30 p.m.). Blinds will be 600/1,200 when play resumes with Level 11 and the Day 2 seat draw can be found below. The remainder of the field is scheduled to play down to a winner on Day 3.
