Day 2 of the $100,000 Triton Main Event at the 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise is set to resume at 12:00 p.m. local time at Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas. Day 1 saw a total of 149 entries, 80 of which will be returning for Day 2. Late registration and reentries are permitted until the start of Day 2, so the field size is likely to grow before the cards are in the air.
David Yan (1,166,000), Dimitar Danchev (1,107,000) and Biao Ding (990,000) sit atop the leaderboard as action gets set to kick off. The veteran trio is no stranger to high-roller events at the WSOP and Triton, with proven results in competition at the highest level.
Yan looks to add a third WSOP gold bracelet to his resume, while Danchev is looking to adorn his wrist with bracelet number two. With a victory, Ding would bring home his first piece of WSOP hardware. All three have won Triton events before and are on the hunt to capture another trophy.
Rounding out the bottom end of the top ten counts are David Coleman (752,000), Alex Kulev (713,000), and Justin Bonomo (691,000), who are all very familiar with battling it out with the best in the world.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise series is underway, and poker players attending should be aware of a rule change that will impact the use of electronic devices at the table.
Jonathan Tamayo won the WSOP Main Event for $10 million this past summer in Las Vegas. Controversy surrounded the victory after poker fans noticed his rail, which included poker pros Joe McKeehen and Dominik Nitsche, had a laptop open with apparent real-time assistance (RTA) software visible.
Tamayo would occasionally converse with his rail during the final table, and that led some to question if he had an unfair advantage. But no one has presented any evidence to prove he broke any rules or won the tournament because of an edge gained from his rail. Still, the WSOP did not have a rule in place to prevent potential controversies such as this from arising. They do now, however.
There are a few other additional new rules for the series, including banning electronic devices at the table altogether when a tournament is down to three tables. Players are also not permitted to place their cell phones or any electronic devices on the table or table rail during play.
Level: 11
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 10,000
Level 11
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Raul Lozano raised to 20,000 on the button and Alexander Zubov three-bet shoved all in from the small blind for 215,000, putting himself at risk. Lozano made the call.
Alexander Zubov: A♦K♠ 
Raul Lozano: 6♣6♠
Zubov pulled ahead on the A♥9♥9♠ flop, pairing his ace. The 5♠ turn and 4♥ river earned him the early double up.

Level 11
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sam Greenwood raised to 22,000 in the cutoff and Erik Seidel moved all in for 220,000 in the small blind. Timothy Adams then reshoved in the big blind and Greenwood got out of the way.
Erik Seidel: K♣K♦
Timothy Adams: A♠K♠
Adams was looking for an ace to bust the Poker Hall of Famer, but Seidel's kings remained in the lead through the turn on a board of 2♦6♠6♥6♣. The river, though, was the A♥ and Adams made a full house to send Seidel to an early exit.

Action folded back around to Yan who thought for a moment before tossing his cards into the muck.

: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Kayhan Mokri and Waikiat Lee went heads-up to a flop of A♥8♥7♣ where Lee led out for 20,000 in the big blind. Mokri then raised to 72,000 on the button and Lee called.
The turn was the J♠ and Mokri bet 110,000. Lee quickly folded.
"That was a good one. You would like it," Mokri said to tablemate Daniel Negreanu.
"It seemed like fun. If I was the opponent, I would be like what is going on," Negreanu replied.
