Record-Breaking $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller Resumes at Noon

Christian Zetzsche

After an incredible turnout the previous day in Event #57: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller, the latest high-stakes competition during the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas is seeking to extend a record field. The tournament has already surpassed the 264 entries of the 2022 edition by a wide margin, attracting 357 entries to generate a prize pool of $8,389,500 so far.

However, both numbers are subject to change as the late registration remains open until the end of level 12 and following break at approximately 2.15 p.m. local time. Day 2 is set to recommence at noon local time in the Paris Purple section and a flurry of late entries is expected. All those wishing to join the action can take advantage of up to two re-entries throughout the registration period.

A trio sits atop the leaderboard with seven-figure stacks, with Firas Kashat returning as the overnight chip leader with 1,203,000. He is closely followed by Yang Wang (1,120,000) and Norbert Szecsi (1,071,000).

End of Day 1 Top 10 Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Firas Kashat	United States	1,203,000	241
2	Yang Wang	China	1,120,000	224

7	Johann Ibanez	Colombia	912,000	182
8	Bradley Anderson	United States	820,000	164
9	John Hennigan	United States	818,000	164
10	Chance Kornuth	United States	762,000	152

Notable big stacks heading into Day 2 include Brandon Adams (972,000), Anton Morgenstern (950,000), Michael Duek (942,000), Bradley Anderson (820,000), Poker Hall of Fame member John Hennigan (818,000), three-time bracelet winner Chance Kornuth (762,000), and the PLO bracelet winners Richard Gryko (700,000) as well as Anson Tsang (650,000).

Some of those who may join again if they haven't exhausted their re-entry option yet including defending champion Tong Li, Daniel Negreanu, Shiva Dudani, Dylan Weisman, Benjamin Juhasz, Jonas Kronwitter, and Ren Lin. Lou Garza, who won the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship two days ago, fired one entry so far without success and may also return as well. Garza was temporarily seated right next to runner-up Arthur Morris, who advanced with a healthy stack of 622,000.

Action resumes in level 11, featuring blinds of 3,000-5,000 with a big blind ante of 5,000. All new additions to the field receive 150,000 in chips to try and run up a stack. A total of ten levels of 60 minutes each are scheduled for today and the money bubble is expected to burst during that time.

There will be a break every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break upon completion of level 16.

Stay tuned right here on PokerNews to follow along with one of the most exciting Pot-Limit Omaha tournaments of the year, which is slated to crown a winner on Wednesday, June 28, 2023.

Dan Smith raised and Eugene Lee repotted to 59,000 from one seat over for Smith to reluctantly call. On a flop of 9♦9♣3♣, Lee instantly moved all-in and Smith was sent into the tank. Two time banks vanished and Smith folded.

Devinsky Blasts the River

Jeremy Geist

Level 11 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Yang Wang on the button who opened to 15,000. The small blind folded and Michael Devinsky defended his big blind.

The A♠Q♦J♣ flop hit the felt and action checked through. The K♣ landed on the turn and Devinsky opted to lead for 20,000. Yang quickly called.

The river landed a relative brick in the 8♠ and Devinsky took a moment before betting close to pot at 65,000. Yang thought it over but eventually sent his cards to the muck.
