: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
The largest buy-in event so far at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) kicked off today with Day 1 of Event #47: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em, a tournament that never fails to draw a mix of top professionals, up-and-coming grinders and high-stakes recreationals inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The 2023 $100,000 High Roller offering drew 93 entries for a prize pool of nearly $9 million. This year's tournament hit that number during Level 11 and is looking to smash that with 95 entrants registered on Day 1 and plenty of time left to hop in on Day 2 (until about 12:40 p.m.).
Danish high-stakes pro Henrik Hecklen bagged the chip lead over the 44 remaining players with a stack of 3,505,000, while big stacks at the end of the day included Omaha specialist Ben Tollerene (2,815,000), American pro Nick Petrangelo (2,700,000), and sports cards enthusiast Jared Bleznick (2,655,000), who got most of those chips by cracking aces. Reigning champion [Removed:564] was in the Day 1 field seeking a third bracelet and another career-defining score, but the Dutch pro was eliminated toward the end of the night.
Day 1 Top Ten Chip Counts

Day 1 Action
While Day 1 kicked off with just a handful of tables, the field grew dramatically as the day played out. In an early highlight, Chris Brewer played a big pot against Adrian Mateos before correctly calling with two pair.
Other Day 1 highlights include 2023 Main Event champion Espen Jorstad getting kings cracked by Kahle Burns' jack and Ren Lin telling the table he may need a "new sugar mommy" if he busts the event.
Fan favorite Daniel Negreanu ran king-jack into aces — not the first time he's busted to aces in a High Roller this year — but wasted no time hopping in on a second bullet. Unfortunately, history repeated itself as Negreanu once again ran into aces, this time those of recent $50,000 High Roller champion Sergio Aido.
Day 2 will kick off at noon local time on Level 13 with blinds of 20,000/40,000/40,000. Late registration will remain open until the end of Level 13, so expect the field to grow before then.
Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team will be back tomorrow for continued coverage of this year's $100,000 High Roller. Be sure to check out the 2024 WSOP Hub in the meantime.

Level 12
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Day 1 of the $100,000 High Roller has wrapped up after 12 levels of play. Stay tuned for a recap of the day's action.
Level 12
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jason Koon and Christoph Vogelsang were heads up on a turn of 5♣3♥Q♠4♦. Vogelsang checked from the big blind before Koon bet 130,000 from the hijack.
Vogelsang called before both players checked the 2♠ river. Vogelsang tabled 5♦2♦ for two pair and won the pot when Koon slid what he claimed to be kings in the muck.
On an adjacent table, Roberto Perez got his stack of 620,000 in from the hijack against Brandon Wittmeyer under the gun.
Roberto Perez: Q♥Q♣ 
Brandon Wittmeyer: J♣9♣
Perez hit a set on J♥K♦Q♦ and Wittmeyer did not make a straight on the subsequent 6♠ turn or 4♦ river, doubling up Perez and leaving Wittmeyer with just three big blinds.

The floor has instructed dealers to deal three more hands before players bag and tag.
Level 12
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Arriving on a flop of 2♥Q♦10♥, Isaac Haxton checked from the hijack to Samuel Ju on the button. Ju made a bet of 75,000 and Haxton raised to 165,000.
Ju made the call before Haxton shoved all in for 470,000 chips on the 5♣ turn. Ju went on to spend his five remaining time bank chips before slamming in a call at the last possible second, covering Haxton by just one big blind.
Isaac Haxton: Q♠J♥
Samuel Ju: Q♣9♣
The 10♠ river did not pair up Ju's kicker, seeing him double up his opponent and left with just a fraction of a starting stack.

: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu is out on his second bullet after once again running into aces.
Picking up the action on the turn in a three-way pot on a board of 4♦2♠K♦5♠, Negreanu bet 150,000 and Samuel Ju called before Sergio Aido announced "all in" with both players covered. Only Negreanu called as Ju folded and showed a king.
Daniel Negreanu: A♠9♠
Sergio Aido: A♦A♥
Negreanu couldn't hit his flush draw as the K♣ bricked off to mark his elimination.
