Cohen Doubles through Bosch

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

The flop showed {6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades} in a raised pot when Oliver Bosch bet 100,000 and faced a raise of 500,000 from Avi Cohen, with only around 90,000 chips behind. Bosch took a minute and made the call.

The rest of the chips went in the middle on the {q-Clubs} turn for the following showdown:

Avi Cohen: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Oliver Bosch: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

The {q-Hearts} on the river didn't change anything and Cohen doubled up with two pair.

Montgomery Misses Straight Flush Draw to Double Brown

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Kyle Montgomery and Randel Brown went heads-up to a flop of {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. Brown got the rest of his 280,000 stack in the middle and Montgomery called.

Randel Brown: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}
Kyle Montgomery: {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

Brown had flopped the nut straight, but Montgomery still had plenty of outs with a flush draw and straight flush draw. But he bricked the {2-Diamonds}{j-Spades} turn and river to send over most of his stack to Brown.

Livingston Makes the Wrong Choice Versus Astedt

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Action folded to Niklas Astedt in the small blind who raised enough to put big blind Alex Livingston all in.

"Oh, it's a close one," Livingston said after looking at his hand. "PLO is next? You're too good at PLO, that's the problem."

Livingston eventually called with {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} and found himself up against the {a-Hearts}{4-Spades} of Astedt. Livingston didn't hit the {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} board and wished the table luck before heading to collect his payout.

At 2 p.m local time, it will be time for the second and final day of Event #64: $5,000 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. In total, 47 players will be returning to the felt to battle it out for the win and the coveted gold WSOP bracelet.

The event attracted 579 entries in total, which created a prize pool of $2,670,638, meaning the winner will walk away with $545,638. All 47 players are guaranteed at least $11,341 but will all be looking for the gold.

David Prociak will be back with a nice head start as he claimed the overnight chip lead with 2,405,000 in chips. Prociak already has a WSOP bracelet thanks to his victory in the 2016 $1,500 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better but will be looking to add more gold to his collection after making his 48th WSOP cash in this event.

Following Prociak in the chip counts is Niklas Astedt with 1,345,000. The Swedish player counts $1,177,109 in total live earnings and will be trying to win his first bracelet after a close call in the 2020 $1,500 No Limit Hold'em online WSOP event, where he finished in second place for $156,905. Coming in in third place today is high stakes PLO games specialist Joni Jouhkimainen who collected 1,215,000 on Day 1.

Tommy Le (1,050,000), Barak Wisbrod (865,000) and Jason Somerville (690,000) are also off to a great start to claim a second WSOP bracelet.

Some other notables in contention for the victory are Oliver Bosch (1,020,000), Uri Reichenstein (1,010,000), Corey Zedo (785,000), Daniel Zack (530,000), Stefan Schillhabel (445,000) , Sterling Savill (445,000) and Alex Livingston (375,000).

When the players return at 2 p.m local time, they will be playing blinds of 10,000/25,000 with a big blind ante of 25,000. The levels will continue to be 30-minutes long with a 15-minute break scheduled after every four levels and a 60-min break after Level 32 (≈ 8:30 p.m.).
