Addamo Leads; Imsirovic Right Behind in Event #82: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em

Welcome to Day 2 of Event #82: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold’em at the 2021 World Series of Poker. Poker’s best and brightest high-stakes players have turned out for the highest buy-in at the WSOP, and one of them will walk away with a WSOP gold bracelet and one of the highest first-place prizes of the series.

Registration is still open until the beginning of Day 2 and there will likely be more runners joining the 15 players that bagged their chips. In the meantime, a total of 25 entries have already put their quarter-million through the window for one of the last chances to win a WSOP bracelet at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.

Michael Addamo holds a narrow lead over Ali Imsirovic after Day 1 and the two high roller heavyweights are on a potential collision course for Day 3’s finale. The Australian chip leader is looking for his second bracelet of the 2021 WSOP and his fourth total after taking down the $50,000 High Roller earlier in the series. Imsirovic is a rising star on the high-stakes circuit and he is on a quest to add a WSOP title to an already crowded 2021 trophy case.

GGPoker ambassador Jason Koon was forced to use his re-entry early in the day after getting felted in a flush-over-flush hand with Stephen Chidwick. The second bullet didn’t bring better luck and Koon was eliminated by night’s end. The later part of the evening brought eliminations for Fedor Holz, David Peters, Jake Schindler, Seth Davies, Dan Smith, and Bonomo. Bonomo and Smith used their re-entry and they will be live on Day 2.

New entrants will start with 1,500,000 chips and play will resume in Level 11 with blinds at 15,000/30,000/30,000. Cards go in the air at 2 p.m. PT and Day 2 will play down to five players with a dinner break after Level 16.
