Kornuth Continues the Summer of Chance
Day 2 of Event #57: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas ended registration with 449 entries and a total Prize pool of $10,551,500 making this the largest WSOP pot-limit omaha event in history.
After 10 levels of play, 31 players remained. Chance Kornuth appeared to bag the chip lead with 7,245,000. Others to bag big stacks were Dylan Weisman (4,355,000), Day 1 chip leader Firas Kashat (4,185,000), and 2023 bracelet winner Isaac Haxton (4,320,000).
| Rank | Name | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |

| 2 | Dylan Weisman | United States | 4,355,000 | 87 |
| 3 | Isaac Haxton | United States | 4,320,000 | 86 |
| 4 | Firas Kashat | United States | 4,185,000 | 84 |
| 5 | Ka Kwan Lau | Hong Kong | 3,890,000 | 78 |
| 6 | Sergio Martinez Gonzalez | Spain | 3,870,000 | 77 |
| 7 | Mads Amot | Norway | 3,465,000 | 69 |
| 8 | Bradley Anderson | United States | 3,225,000 | 65 |
| 9 | Andriy Lyubovetskiy | Ukraine | 2,305,000 | 46 |
| 10 | Jeremy Ausmus | United States | 2,290,000 | 46 |
Also making it through on Day 2 were multiple players that have already won a bracelet this year, including Jeremy Ausmus (2,290,000), Yuri Dzivielevski (1,065,000), Ben Lamb (1,795,000), and Chad Eveslage (1,230,000).
Despite all the stars and accomplishments named above it would be hard to ignore Kornuth’s 2023 summer so far. Two high roller final tables, an online bracelet final table, and a win at the Wynn Mystery Bounty just a few days ago. He will ride into Day 3 in one of the biggest spots of his career as he and the other remaining players chase the coveted gold bracelet and staggering $2,294,756 top prize.
Unfortunately, not everyone was so fortunate as Kornuth. Among those to bust on Day 2 before the money were Stephen Chidwick, Shaun Deeb, Nacho Barbero, Erik Seidel, and Nick Schulman.
Day 3 of Event #57: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha will kick off at 1 p.m. on June 27. The day will start on Level 21 with blinds at 25,000/50,000/50,000 and will play down to the final five players that will compete for bracelet glory on Day 4.
