Day 2 of Event #87: $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better; Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better has arrived at the 2023 World Series of Poker, with 247 players still in contention for a share of the $1,023,500 prize pool. Play commences at 1 p.m. local time in Horseshoe Gold.

A total of 460 entrants saw play at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, including "Crazy" Mike Thorpe, who enters Day 2 with 165,300. The mixed-game specialist has six cashes this summer, all of which are in limit-game formats. He looks to add to that record with a strong performance today. Also beginning the day near the top of the leaderboard is Daniel Strelitz, who enters play just behind Thorpe with 165,200. Strelitz, a two-time bracelet winner, will be looking to improve upon his best finish this summer - a fifth-place result in $1,500 Eight Game Mix 6-Handed. Atop the leaderboard sits Patrick Leonard, who enters Day 2 with 211,500 and will look to add to last year's Tag Team bracelet.

Players need to finish in the top 69 to make the money. By doing so, they will earn a minimum of $4,053. After meeting that goal, players will look to position themselves for tomorrow's final day, where $221,733 and a WSOP gold bracelet await the winner.
