Day 2 of the 2024 World Series of Poker Event #67: $500 Salute to Warriors at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas began with 678 players returning from the record-breaking 4,517 entry field. By the end of the night, only 17 players remained, with Paul Serrate bagging the biggest stack worth 27,530,000 followed by Tolga Gesli with 24,025,000.

Both will be looking to add their first World Series of Poker bracelet to their collection. Serrate flew relatively under the radar throughout most of the day but started to gain some momentum as the field thinned out.
