The 685 entries for Event 31: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha eclipsed last year's field by 51 players, and included many top stars such as Matt Glantz, Jeff Williams, T.J. Cloutier, Noah Schwartz, Jason Mercier, Chad Brown, Humberto Brenes, Jeffrey Lisandro, Vanessa Selbst, Phil Laak, Eli Elezra, Joe Hachem, Daniel Negreanu, and Josh Arieh.
Ben Lamb led the field of 138 survivors into the second day, but many were to fall, with only 26 players still in contention when a halt to the second day's action was called early Sunday morning.
Among those knocked out in the second day were Jeffrey Lisandro, John Juanda, Eli Elezra, Tony Cousineau, Joe Hachem, Paul Volpe, Bryn Kenney, Dan Heimiller, Robert Williamson, John Racener, Pat Pezzin and Erick Lindgren.
Sam Stein currently holds the lead, about 200 000 chips ahead of Ben Lamb, but back there in the top ten are players like Adam Junglen, Austin Scott and Brock Parker – always dangerous.
