EVENT 60
HIGH ROLLER POT-LIMIT OMAHA (EIGHT-HANDED)
$25,000 BUY-IN
(4-DAY EVENT)MONDAY, JUNE 29, 2015, 4 PM
On Tuesday, the World Series of Poker's inaugural $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha event continued in the Amazon room. Throughout the day, Anthony Zinno dominated play and sat atop the chip counts. After ten full levels, he retained that spot and bagged 2.46 million for the overall chip lead.
A total of 67 players returned to the felt for Day 2 with nine new players registering before the start of play. These Day 2 players brought the total number of entries up to 175. This allowed for a total prize pool of $4,156,250. The top 24 players in the field are guaranteed a payday of at least $40,357. The eventual champion will take home a gold bracelet and $1,122,196 in first-place prize money.
Finishing hot on Zinno's heels is Finland's Juha Helppi. Helppi finished the night strong, eliminating David Chiu from play in 13th place and bringing his final count to 2.214 million. Rounding out the top three is Alexander Kostritsyn who put 1.812 million in the bag.
As the just the top 24 players made the money, there were several notable names to return to the felt today only to leave empty handed. Some of those to exit before the money bubble burst include Jason Koon, Randal Flowers, Phil Galfond, Scott Clements, Daniel Negreanu, Yevgeniy Timoshenko, and Joe Hachem.
Notable players to fall in the money include Alexey Makarov (23rd), Kory Kilpatrick (22nd), Scott Palmer (20th), Ben Sulsky (18th), recent $50,000 Poker Players Championship winner Mike Gorodinsky (17th), and Justin Gardenhire (15th).
