Thomas Campbell Leads Experienced and International Event #46 Field Into Day 3
A little over twelve hours ago, 154 players took their seats to start Day 2 of Event #46 Pot-Limit Omaha Six Handed and after ten levels of high octane action, just 22 remain and will return tomorrow at 2 PM to play down to a winner.
Those returning players represent wide varieties of poker experiences and nationalities, as there are former World Series of Poker bracelet winners, players looking to make their biggest WSOP scores and players from across the globe.
Robert Mizrachi is one of those former bracelet winners, as he won his third WSOP bracelet earlier this year in Event #3. He'll return with a shorter 165,000 chip stack and look to become the third player to win two bracelets in 2015.
That won't be easy though, as there are plenty of big name players above him on the leaderboard, including Felipe Ramos (476,000), Fabrizio Gonzalez (423,000) and Martin Finger (306,000) representing Brazil, Uruguay and Germany.
But, above them all is Texas' Thomas Campbell, who managed to bag the Day 2 chip lead, finishing with an impressive 1,254,000. Campbell has already locked up the biggest WSOP cash of his career and will return looking to make his first final table.
He's not the only player over the million chip mark though, as Austria's Andreas Freund recovered from a slight decline after the last break to bag 1,110,000. Canada's Daniel Idema is one the other side of one million, finishing with 970,000 and David Tuthill finished with 861,000 to round out the top four.
There were plenty of other big names that made the money, including former WSOP Main Event champion Joe Hachem (68th), former WSOP Player of the Year Erick Lindgren (39th) and recent bracelet winner Benjamin Zamani (32nd).
Reference the 'Results' tab above for a complete list of the outstanding Event #46 payouts and a complete list of the remaining player's chip counts will be posted shortly to the 'Chip Counts' tab.
The remaining 22 players will all return tomorrow at 2 PM in the Amazon Room for what is scheduled to be a third and final day of play. WSOP.com will preview the action before play begins and follow Event #46 until a champion is crowned.
