Day 2 of Event #57: $50,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha has concluded here at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, and we are down to 11 players.
There was a total of 192 entries in the field, with 32 late registrations today to go along with the 62 players who managed to find a bag on Day 1.
The prize pool totaled $9,215,000, with a $100,000 min-cash for the top 30 finishers, and a first-place prize of $2,146,414 along with a WSOP bracelet.
Stephen Chidwick headlined this elite field, playing with surgical precision and catching some well-timed luck.
Chidwick opened up his day by sending Lou Garza to the rail with a dominating flush. He then consistently built his stack throughout the day, showcasing why he is considered one of the best players on the planet.
He then found a one-outer against Alex Foxen in the late stages to secure the chip lead, but met with some late-game adversity, finishing the day fifth in chips after losing a big pot to Dirk Gerritse who held a set of aces.
Biao Ding found monumental success in one of the world’s toughest fields. Ding was able to balloon his stack by sending Evan Krentzman to the rail with a turned straight, making no notable mistakes throughout the day, and eliminating Evan Krentzman for a massive amount of chips.

Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
The players have reached the end of Level 21 and have bagged up for the night.
The end-of-day chip counts are listed below. A recap of the day will follow shortly.
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Action was joined just as the dealer revealed the turn on a 6♦7♣7♥4♥ board, and roughly 600,000 in the pot.
Youness Barakat was first to act, as the big blind, and put out a bet of 350,000. Manuel Stojanovic proceeded with a call.
The river brought the 3♠, and Barakat opted to check. Stojanovic was ready to play a bigger pot and bet 500,000. Barakat took his time to consider the board and his options, but ultimately decided to call.
Stojanovic delivered the bad news, announcing that he had quads and tabling A♥Q♦7♠7♦. Barakat returned his cards face down to the dealer, and Stojanovic dragged in the pot.
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick has lost a few pots from what was a huge chip lead earlier. In this hand, he raised to 350,000 from under the gun. Dirk Gerritse then raised the pot from the small blind, a total of 1,150,000. Chidwick made the call.
The flop came 8♠5♠3♠ and Gerritse checked it over to Chidwick, who bet 350,000. Gerritse made the call.
The turn brought the Q♦, and Gerritse checked again. Chidwick bet 400,000 this time. Gerritse called again.
Both players checked on the A♦ river, and Gerritse revealed the A♥A♣J♦6♦ for three aces, and he won the pot.
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Dylan Linde raised to 350,000 under the gun. Frank Crivello called in the cutoff, as did Manuel Stojanovic in the big blind.
Stojanovic checked to Linde on the 6♦4♦9♣ flop, who went all in for about a pot-sized bet. Crivello quickly called, prompting Stojanovic to get out of the way.
Dylan Linde: A♣K♠K♦7♦ 
Frank Crivello: A♦K♥10♦9♥
The 6♠ turn paired the board, providing Linde with a big lead. The Q♣ river helped neither player, doubling up Linde.
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Frank Crivello bumped it up to 350,000 in the hijack. It folded to Erik Seidel in the big blind, who quickly moved all in for 775,000. Crivello called, and the cards hit their backs.
Erik Seidel: A♠A♥K♠K♦
Frank Crivello: K♥10♥10♦3♦
Seidel had the superior hand preflop, but Crivello made a runner-runner flush on the J♦2♣7♥2♦4♦ runout to win the pot and knock the Hall of Famer out.
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Farid Jattin raised to 350,000 in the cutoff. Ka Kwan Lau put in a tiny three-bet to 600,000 in the small blind, which Jattin called.
Jattin had 400,000 behind, and he called off when Lau put him all in on the 8♦Q♥6♥ flop.
Farid Jattin: K♥J♦6♦5♥
Ka Kwan Lau: A♥A♣Q♠Q♦
Jattin had plenty of outs, but none arrived on the 10♠ turn or 4♣ river, sending him to the exit.
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Action folded to Frank Crivello in the small blind, who only had Farid Jattin in the big blind to contend with.
As quick as a flash, the stacks found themselves in the middle. Crivello limped, Jattin raised, and Crivello announced "pot." Before the bet amount had been confirmed, Jattin had moved all in. Crivello wasted no time in calling, and, as the shorter of the two stacks, found himself at risk.
Frank Crivello: A♦K♦10♠7♦
Farid Jattin: A♠A♥7♠3♦
Crivello found some help on the 10♦4♣J♠ flop, which provided him with a straight draw.
The turn brought instant service, coming the Q♠ to give him Broadway.
Jattin needed a spade river to retake the lead and eliminate Crivello, but the J♣ was no help, and instead Jattin slid a big portion of his stack over to his tablemate.
