Michael Moncek Leads Stacked Field of 32 Into Day 2 of the $25,000 High Roller Pot Limit Omaha
As the first high roller of the 2023 World Series of Poker Paradise at Atlantis Resort winds down to the final table, the $25,000 High Roller Pot Limit Omaha is just heating up. There are currently 35 bracelets combined between the remaining 32 players in the field and one lucky participant will be the proud recipient of another by the end of play today.
Among the top ten chip leaders heading into Day 2 are Chris Brewer (1,200,000) who has been on an absolute tear in 2023 and already has two bracelets to his name this year, four-time bracelet winner Yuri Dzivielevski (1,290,000) who is sitting with a top three stack, and mixed-game phenom Chad Eveslage (900,000) who will look to book his third bracelet of the year. However, the current pole position is held by Michael Moncek (1,405,000) who also earned a bracelet in 2023 and will look to stay in the lead and take home some more hardware.
