888poker has released the fourth installment of its WSOP Main Event documentary, following ambassadors Aaron Barone, Nick Eastwood, and others as they battle through Day 2. Eastwood and Saliba were eliminated, while Barone and Navarro advanced to Day 3. 888poker has released the fourth installment of its 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event documentary. The series begins by following five 888poker ambassadors on their journeys to becoming world poker champions. Ian Simpson's journey ended in the second installment, leaving Aaron Barone, Nick Eastwood, Lucia Navarro, and Vivian Saliba to take the 888poker flag high for Day 2 of the WSOP Main Event after a day of rest. The fourth installment begins with the players seated, ready to begin Day 2 of the 2026 WSOP Main Event. Barone, who started Day 1 with 76,400 chips, starts Day 2 confidently, ready to increase his chip stack. “Day 2 was probably the least stressful day of the whole series. Because on Day 1 you really want to get through it, and then the pressure gradually increases,” Barone explained. “Today felt easy, everyone was happy to be here, and I knew today was a good opportunity. Taking advantage of the opportunity and trying to build up chips, that’s what I’m going to do.” The 888poker team had a rough start. The photography team found these four grinders after the first of the five levels on Day 1. Everyone lost chips in the first level, with Eastwood dropping from 56,300 to 41,000. “It was really bad. Every time I opened a pot, I got 3-bet and had to fold,” Eastwood explained to Barone. His table was soft, but he found himself constantly having to fold. Barone gave his teammate some wise advice. "You'll naturally get annoyed; you don't know if they actually have a hand. Based on your description of these players, they probably do, and the situation hasn't really changed. When you go back, you still have 40 big blinds, which is more than enough for you to open the pot and call a 3-bet. You're still in a great position to do whatever you want." Eastwood and Saliba were eliminated. Despite taking Barone's advice, Eastwood was eliminated before the next break. In a 9-8-6 hand with two diamonds, Eastwood went all-in with pocket aces. His opponent held pocket sevens with a diamond and hit trips on the turn. The river card gave his opponent an unnecessary full house, ending Eastwood's game. Saliba
