Nancy Nguyen raised under the gun, Jeff Norman called in middle position, Michael Reed three-bet in late position, and Davin Anderson made it four bets on the button.

It folded all the way back around to Reed, and he called. The flop came {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and they got the rest of the chips in with Anderson at risk.

Reed: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Anderson: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Reed's pair of tens was ahead of Anderson's pair of sevens. The {K-Diamonds} and the {9-Diamonds} river changed nothing and Anderson was eliminated in 16th place, earning him $5,849.

The final 15 players in Event #24: $1,500 Limit Hold’em are set and heading back tomorrow at 2 p.m. for a chance at the first place prize of $177,985 and a WSOP gold bracelet.

World Series of Poker Hall of Famer Barry Greenstein (316,000) has three bracelets already and is seeking number four.

Ray Henson has four WSOP circuit rings, but is still seeking his first WSOP bracelet. He got close in 2015 when he finished third in The Colossus for $308,761. The remaining players all seeking their first WSOP gold bracelet, including Day 2 chip leader Nancy Nguyen (574,000)

Mike Reed (364,000) started Day 2 as the chip leader and held it for most of the day until the final two levels.

Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Ian Johns (18th place) almost made it through to Day 3 after doubling up a handful of times, but eventually he fell to Mark Bassaly (461,000) who knocked out four people late in play on Day 2 to take a big jump up the standings.

The action resumes at 2 p.m. Wednesday as Event #24 plays down to a champion. Follow the updates on PokerNews.com.
