Just five years ago, the idea of the six-figure Pot-Limit Omaha event was nothing short of a dream. However, this dream has become a reality at the 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise.
In 2021, the WSOP held the first $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event. However, the stakes have been raised here at Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas with the fifth six-figure buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha event in poker history, and the first at the World Series of Poker.
Day 2 of Event #3: $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Super High Roller kicks off at 2 p.m. local time. A total of 62 players tried their luck yesterday in Day 1 with just 26 advancing to Day 2 after 12 levels of play. However, registration remains open through to the start of Level 15 around 3:20 p.m.
The record for the largest $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event was recorded at Triton Monte-Carlo with 87 entries. Therefore, it is likely that today's event threatens that record.
Leading the way into Day 2 is six-time bracelet winner Jason Mercier who bagged an impressive 3,745,000 from a starting stack of 600,000. Mercier also held the chip lead after Day 1 of the $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha this summer, but was only able to parlay that good start into an 18th place finish for $105,000.
Sitting just behind Mercier is Chinese high roller Biao Ding who finished with 3,400,000. Rounding out the podium in third is sports card enthusiast and Pot-Limit Omaha specialist Jared Bleznick with 3,180,000.

Play resumes at 2 p.m. in Level 13 with blinds at 15,000/30,000 with a 30,000 big blind ante.

Only 26 players return from Day 1, but they are sure to be joined by more of the finest Pot-Limit Omaha players in the world.

Level 13
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Three players went to a flop of J♣5♣4♠ with around 350,000 in the middle when Stephen Chidwick moved all in from the small blind. Pascal LeFrancois called for his last 330,000 in the big blind, while Jesse Lonis folded the button.
Pascal LeFrancois: K♣Q♦10♣9♦ 
Stephen Chidwick: Q♣Q♥10♠5♠
Chidwick was ahead with his queens, while LeFrancois was on a flush draw. The 6♦ turn was no help to LeFrancois, while the 5♥ fell on the river giving Chidwick trip fives to send LeFrancois to the rail.

Level 13
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Shaun Deeb limped in from the cutoff, as did Samuli Sipila on the button. Gergo Nagy checked his option and they went three-handed to a flop of 8♦7♥4♦.
Deeb then bet 55,000 and only Nagy called. The turn was the A♥ and Deeb bet 300,000. Nagy then moved all in and Deeb called for 425,000.
Deeb showed J♦10♠9♣6♦ for a flush draw and straight wrap, while Nagy had A♠10♦9♦4♥ for ace-up and a lesser flush draw. The river was the K♦ and Deeb made a jack-high flush to win the pot and double up.
Ren Lin and Chance Kornuth have recently joined the field.
