Day 2 of the $10,000 pot-limit Omaha championship came to a close with 38 players remaining, just two spots away from the money.

Leading the way is Ben Lamb, who finished runner up in the $3,000 pot-limit Omaha event last week. Ironically, he finished second to good friend Sam Stein, who will enter day 3 residing in third place overall just behind Sami Kelopuro.

Other notables still remaining include Will Failla, Jared Bleznick, Matthew Glantz, Mike McDonald, Florian Langmann, Dario Alioto, Max Pescatori, Joao Barbosa, Abe Mosseri, Davidi Kitai, Surindar Sunar, Alex Kravchenko, Humberto Brenes and Hans Winzeler, who narrowly missed a pot-limit Omaha bracelet of his own earlier this week.

The plan is to play down to a champion here on day 3. Card Player will be providing level-by-level updates from the final table, so stay tuned.
