WSOP 2024 Day 13: Gaurav Sood And Gunisha Sinha Battling In Gladiators Of Poker Day 2

9th June marked the 13th day of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), a day that, despite its quieter nature, still delivered some remarkable poker action. One of the highlights was an incredible comeback in the $1,500 SHOOTOUT No-Limit Hold’em event, while the legendary Roland Israelashvili positioned himself for a shot at his first gold bracelet after more than 500 money finishes at the WSOP.

Event #23: $1,500 SHOOTOUT No-Limit Hold’em

Dan Sepiol etched his name into WSOP history with a stunning comeback in Event #23: $1,500 SHOOTOUT No-Limit Hold’em. Entering the heads-up battle against Robert Natividad at a 17-to-1 chip disadvantage, Sepiol appeared destined for a runner-up finish. However, he defied the odds, emerged victorious, and claimed the $305,849 top prize along with his first WSOP bracelet.

Day 1D, the fourth and final flight of Event #30: $300 Gladiators of Poker No-Limit Hold’em, concluded with 272 of the 5,388 starters advancing to Day 2. Combined with survivors from the other three flights, 754 players will return for the next stage.

Indian MTT powerhouse Gaurav Sood and his wife Gunisha Sinha also qualified for Day 2 in this tournament and are currently grinding in the event. Sinha registered her first-ever WSOP cash in the Gladiators tournament.

Roland Israelashvili’s Quest For A Bracelet

Roland Israelashvili, with over 500 WSOP cash finishes but no victories, has a prime opportunity in Event #25: $3,000 6-Handed Limit Hold’em. Entering the final 10 with 875,000 chips (11 big blinds), Israelashvili is in fifth place but faces a significant challenge with Daniel Vampan leading at 2,470,000 chips.

Vampan is followed by Frank Yakubson (1,650,000), Daniel Maczuga (1,500,000), and Lucas Wagner (940,000). Three-time bracelet winner Daniel Idema also made the final day but starts with just 130,000 chips.

Play resumes at 1:00 PM local time as the final 10 compete until a champion is crowned. Will this be the event where Israelashvili finally secures his first bracelet?

Samuel Laskowitz ended Day 1 of Event #26: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em as the chip leader, turning his 150,000 starting stack into 1,211,000 after eight hour-long levels. With 274 entrants and 99 progressing to Day 2, the numbers are expected to increase with late registration open until the first level of play on June 10.

Laskowitz, who finished second in the 2022 $400 Colossus for $256,170, showcased his high roller prowess with a solid performance on Day 1. Chino Rheem (1,101,000) and Noel Rodriguez (1,099,000) rounded out the top three.

Other notable players with substantial stacks include Dario Sammartino (1,030,000), Galen Hall (1,026,000), and 10-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey (838,000). The field also features Dan Smith (719,000), Daniel Negreanu (482,000), Erik Seidel (389,000), Jason Mercier (277,000), and Scott Seiver (148,000).
