Day 33 2026 World Series of Poker was a day in which several smaller fields slotted in around the mass of Mystery Millions players who were playing in two separate Day 1 flights.
However, just one of those smaller fields went all the way down to the last player standing. Taylor Atchison managed to cleared out the last couple of players in Event #69: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8, earning himself a nice $159,275 first-place prize and an even nicer gold WSOP bracelet, his first.
Elsewhere in the series, Michael Mizrachi continued to run over the $10k PLO field, the $1,000 Mystery Millions cleared 20,000 entries and $20 million in the pot, and the Ladies event reached its final table with Emily Spencer holding a significant lead.
Michael Mizrachi Has Huge Lead In $10k PLO Event
Michael Mizrachi has almost double the next biggest stack in Event #70: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship. After Day 2 came to a close, Mizrachi was able to bag 5,655,000 in chips.
Zurvan Tumboli, his closest competition, bagged just 3,700,000.
That doesn’t mean “the Grinder” has the event all sewn up. There are still 37 players left from the starting field of 836, and pot limit Omaha is a game of big swings. Besides, Mizrachi’s competition is tough with Jesse Lonis (2,985,000) close behind him in third.
The list of other notables who will be challenging Mizrachi on Day 3 includes Martin Zamani (1,530,000), 2013 Main Event champion Ryan Riess (1,380,000), Dan Sepiol (1,045,000), Kristen Foxen (990,000), and Ari Engel (720,000).
Jason Koon, Martin Kabrhel, Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey all busted on Day 2 without cashing. However, Daniel Negreanu (83rd), 2009 Main Event champion Joe Cada (59th), and Josh Arieh (39th) all made the money before exiting the tourney.
With $1,350,203 up top from a prize pool of $7,774,800, there’s still everything to play for when the tournament restarts at 1 p.m. local time.

What to Expect from Day 34 at the 2026 WSOP
Day 34 of the 2026 World Series of Poker is Sunday, June 28. On this day, three new events kick off and two bracelets are expected to be awarded.
One of the biggest events of the day will see all six Day 1 flights of Event #63: $1,000 Mystery Millions No-Limit Hold’em combine for Day 2 of the tournament. The field of more than 1,200 players will get back into the action at 1:00 p.m. local time.
The final table of the Event #68: $1,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Championship will be playing down to a bracelet on the live stream. Play starts at 3:30 p.m. local time and the stream will begin at 6:00 p.m. on a 2.5-hour delay.
Event #70: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship will also be back at 1:00 p.m. for its Day 3. This event has a school of poker sharks circling the ever-smaller field. The Day 3 action will be one to watch.

There will also be three new events kicking off on Day 33.
