Winner to Be Crowned in Event #71: $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller
The Main Event is almost here as the 2023 World Series of Poker is gearing up for the flagship tournament of the summer at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. However, several other events will award the coveted gold bracelet in the coming days and weeks, one of which will find a new owner today in Event #71: $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller.
An incredible field of 200 entries - more than the two inaugural editions of the high-stakes contest combined - has been whittled down to the last 11 contenders within 24 levels of 40 minutes each. All of the finalists are aiming to claim as big a portion as possible of the huge $9,550,000 prize pool when the action resumes at 1 p.m. local time on the feature tables of the Horseshoe Event Center.
Four WSOP champions are in contention to increase their tally and Tyler Smith leads the way with 14,000,000. Fellow bracelet winners Isaac Haxton (2,500,000) and Ian Matakis (2,150,000) can be found at the bottom of the leaderboard but they are just one double-up away from reaching the middle of the pack.
Jesse Lonis is second on the leaderboard with a stack of 8,650,000 and already has a tenth and ninth place finish in Freezeout Events on his resume for the 2023 WSOP. Lonis has an online bracelet from the US domestic series in 2022 to his name and will aim to increase that tally today. Elias Harala follows in third place with 6,575,000 with Danny Hannawa (6,125,000) and Kabeelan Rajamurthy (5,400,000) hot on his heels.

Kabeelan Rajamurthy Eliminated in 11th Place ($157,963)
Livello 25
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Danny Hannawa raised to 750,000 in the cutoff one hand after Kabeelan Rajamurthy had seen his stack reduced and was in the big blind. Tyler Smith reraised to 2,100,000 on the button and Rajamurthy called all-in for just shy of that out of the big blind, while Hannawa folded.
Kabeelan Rajamurthy: A♠A♣K♣K♠
Tyler Smith: Q♦10♠9♥9♦
"Ace ace king king double suit? Wow what a find," Jonas Kronwitter exclaimed in table chat while Rajamurthy pointed towards Smith's cards and that a win was not guaranteed by any means.
Sure enough, Smith flopped a set on the J♥9♠4♠ flop and took the lead. Rajamurthy needed spades, an ace or a king but found neither on the 6♦ turn and 8♥ river. Smith won the pot with a straight and Rajamurthy bowed out in 11th place.
