Four Events, 64 Players, 7 AM: The Horseshoe Won't Sleep

A $50K High Roller, a $1,500 PLO, and two dailies are all grinding past dawn with two tables left apiece.

It's past 7 AM at the Horseshoe and four WSOP events are still grinding — 64 players across four tournaments, all down to their final two tables.

The biggest money in the room is at Event #90, the $50,000 High Roller (8-Handed), where 18 players remain on Day 2. Jon Vallinas, a Spaniard with $2.89M in lifetime earnings and seven final tables, is among them with 2,025,000 in chips. So is Punnat Punsri, whose $11M+ in career cashes make him the most decorated player still in seats across all four events. Faraz Jaka — one bracelet, $6.85M lifetime, 25 final tables — is also alive.

Punnat Punsri, whose $11M+ in career cashes make him the most decorated player still in seats across all four events, is alive in the $50K High Roller.

The PLO Is Getting Interesting

Event #91, the $1,500 Pick Your PLO (8-Handed), is down to 15 on Day 2. Jonathan Turner leads with 1,510,000 in chips. Turner has a WSOPC ring, 32 career final tables, and $2.56M in lifetime earnings — the kind of résumé that makes him the clear favorite at this stage. Andrew Ostapchenko, who already owns a WSOP bracelet and a Circuit ring with $3.16M lifetime, busted just outside the remaining 15 in 18th.

Two Dailies, No Quit

The $250 Daily Deepstack (Event #487) still has 17 players. Matthew Perlman leads with 1,635,000, and Bryan Allen — $150K in career earnings — sits second at 1,140,000. Andre Welt, who traveled from Brazil, is still alive at the final two tables.

The $400 Daily Deepstack (Event #489) is the shortest field of the four at 14. Wai Kit Lo, a UK player with $585K lifetime, is the most experienced name remaining. Japan's Yuki Kawabata is also still in.

Four events. Sixty-four players. Zero bracelets on the line in the dailies, one in the PLO, one in the High Roller — but every single person still in a seat chose dawn over a pillow. The Horseshoe doesn't close; it just keeps dealing.
