A wild Day 2 is complete in Event #75: $1,111 Little One for One Drop. By the end of late registration, a total of 6,246 entries made it in to the field, and the money bubble burst on the seventh level of the day, with 937 players getting paid.

All of those players guaranteed themselves at least a min cash of $1,500, and by the end of the night the field narrowed down to 412 players. Those survivors will come back Wednesday for the Day 3 restart, which commences at 1 p.m.

Four-time bracelet winner and 2018 WSOP Player of the Year Shaun Deeb ended the night as the Day 2 end-of-day chip leader, bagging 2,892,000. There’s still a lot of poker left to be played over the next two days in this event, but Deeb is in good position to make a deep run if his fortunes continue the way they have over the first two days.

Some of the other big stacks to bag at the end of the night Matt Souza (2,366,000), Jeremy Dresch (2,340,000), Naor Slobodskoy (2,109,000), Jaime Lewin (1,980,000), and WSOP bracelet winner Benjamin Moon (1,970,000).

Players finishing in the money, but not making it through to Day 3 included Joe Serock, Vanessa Kade, Nick Binger, Erick Lindgren, David “ODB” Baker, Aaron Massey, Andy Bloch, Maria Konnikova and Howard Mash.

Phil Hellmuth was one of the notables to not make it through, registering at the latest possible moment and having a short-lived run through the Little One for One Drop. Others finishing short of the money included Jared Jaffee, Matt Berkey, Will Kasouff, Ryan Feldman, and a pair of WSOP champions in Jamie Gold and Greg Raymer.

The remaining 412 players come back Wednesday to play a full day, with 10 one-hour levels on the schedule. The tournament is planned to play through to a winner on Thursday, with the champion taking home the WSOP bracelet and the $690,686 first prize. Play will resume with Level 21, and the blinds at 8000/16000 with an 8,000 ante.

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Loni Harwood
Loni Harwood

A large pot was already forming as four players called 7,000 to see a {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop.

Action checked to Loni Harwood who lead out for 16,000, the player next to act moved all in for 56,000.

The remaining two players folded and Harwood asked for a count.

She cut out the chips, announcing "call". Only to see the good news as she had her opponent almost drawing dead with {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} vs his {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs} run out was no help to her opponent, sending him to the rail.

The action folded around to Phil Hellmuth on the button who made it 9,000 off of his 10,000 stack. The small blind folded and the big blind put Hellmuth all in. Hellmuth called and the players were off to the races.

Hellmuth: {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}

The run out was not a favorable one for Hellmuth as his opponent paired his jack on the flop {j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} to eliminate Hellmuth from the tournament.

Gold Versus Held Heads Up

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jamie Gold
Jamie Gold

Austrian Justus Held and 2006 Main Event Champion Jamie Gold have gone to battle in a couple of recent pots, with each holding on to sizable chip stacks.

In the first of two recent hands involving the two, Held raised preflop, making it 64,000 to go, and Gold called. The flop came {7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Held bet 42,000, and Gold folded, showing {a-}{q-}.

"I got you beat," Held said. "I have the ace of diamonds."

"You didn't have me beat preflop," Gold replied, and Held agreed.

A couple of hands later Gold, Held and another opponent went three ways to a {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop, Gold bet 10,000 and got two calls. The turn came the {7-Diamonds}, and all three players checked.

Gold bet out for 40,000 on the {2-Clubs}, and got both opponent to fold. He showed {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for the bluff on the way to raking in the pot.

Suhail Triples Up

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Mohammed Suhail
Mohammed Suhail

With roughly 250,000 in the pot and Mohammed Suhail all in preflop, the board came down {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Two other players went on in the hand, heads up for the side pot.

Ricardo Daluz, first to act, moved all in for his remaining 104,500 chips, and Jeremey Frost went into the tank. Some time passed as Frost played with his chips and contemplated what he would do.

Suhail then proceeded to call the clock and a floor supervisor arrived to give Frost a countdown. With 10-seconds left to act he made the call and all three hands were opened:

Suhail: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Frost: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Daluz: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Suhail had both his opponents in rough shape with a flopped set, while Daluz's pocket jacks looked good to win the side pot.

The {6-Hearts} turn gave Suhail a full house straight away and the {5-Hearts} river was no help to Frost, sending his chips Daluz's way.

As some banter was thrown back and forth between players regarding advice and opinions on the way the hand played out, Suhail stood up and said: "I just won a pot I'm allowed to celebrate."

Only Aces (Or Eights) Full Could Beat Gaspard

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Jean Gaspard at an earlier WSOP event

Casey Campbell limped from early position, Lucas Fauth raised to 8,000 from the hijack, Jean Gaspard cold-called on the button, and Campbell made the call.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{a-Spades}{3-Spades}, and the action checked to Gaspard, who bet 11,000 and got a call from only Fauth. The turn came the {3-Clubs}, Fauth checked, Gaspard bet 16,000 and Fauth put in the all-in check-raise. Gaspard snap-called.

"If you have aces full you're good," said Gaspard.

Lucas Fauth: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Jean Gaspard: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The ace-trey was indeed good enough for Gaspard, as the river {10-Spades} changed nothing.
