Koralla does not have a reported WSOP cash on his resume since the 2024 WSOP, when he cashed in the Poker Hall of Fame Bounty event. Koralla most recently placed fourth in the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em event at the PokerGO $500K Showcase for $48,000. Koralla will look to add much more than that as he enters with the top stack in the room on Sunday. (Results courtesy of The Hendon Mob.)
Soma, the Day 1a chip leader, will enter with the third biggest stack. Soma is aiming to position himself to add another bracelet to his collection with a strong performance on Day 2. Soma won his first piece of hardware when he took down the $1,500 No Limit Hold’em Six-Handed event at the 2022 WSOP for nearly half a million dollars. This is Soma’s second cash of the summer.
Day 1b chip leader Simon Higgins (2,890,000) is not far behind. Day 1c chip leader Edward Pak and Day 1d chip leader Liran Betito (2,390,000) also come in with top ten stacks.
The 2024 WSOP Main Event Champion is still in the field. Jonathan Tamayo (625,000) still has a seat and a chance at a title on Day 2.
Several other 25K Fantasy and ODB Fantasy players are still in the field including Nicholas Pupillo (1,720,000), Justin Fawcett (1,625,000), David “ODB” Baker himself (1,500,000), Chris Hunichen (1,300,000), Martin Zamani (1,108,000), Brekstyn Schutten (1,010,000), Asher Conniff (855,000), Marco Johnson (770,000), Shiina Okamoto (755,000) Michael Wilklow (679,000) Zdenek Zizka (665,000), Ryan Leng (630,000), Brock Wilson (620,000) Justin Zaki, (615,000), John Wasnock (475,000), Andreas Frohli (450,000), Eric Baldwin (390,000), and Christian Roberts (175,000).
In addition to the $1,000,000 up top for first place, players will also be chasing the mystery bounties. Each bounty has a mystery amount up for grabs, with one player due to draw the $1,000,000 bounty.
