Giorno 1 completo
Among one of the most elite and star-studded fields on the World Series of Poker calender, Alex Foxen’s star shone the brightest on Day 1 of Event #71: $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller.
The poker superstar and WSOP bracelet winner was spotted with more than 1,000,000 early on and never stopped accumulating chips. Foxen bagged up a massive stack of 2,868,000, far and away the largest among the 70 surviving players.

2 | Krasimir Yankov | Bulgaria | 1,786,000 | 119 |
3 | Jesse Lonis | United States | 1,460,000 | 97 |

5 | Michael Heritsch | United States | 1,400,000 | 93 |

7 | Jeremy Ausmus | United States | 1,291,000 | 86 |
8 | Adam Hendrix | United States | 1,266,000 | 84 |
9 | Michael Moncek | United States | 1,236,000 | 82 |
10 | Robert Cowen | United Kingdom | 1,187,000 | 79 |
Jesse Lonis is one of the players looking up at Foxen on the leaderboard. Lonis doubled up against Jeremy Ausmus after a more than three-minute tank, then won a massive pot against John Riordan on his way to 1,460,000.
The third time was the charm for Ausmus on Day 1. The 2021 champion of this event had to reenter twice, but built up his stack to 1,291,000 on his third bullet. Defending champion Robert Cowen (1,187,000), Dylan Weisman (1,170,000), and Shaun Deeb (1,014,000) are also in the million-chip club.
Further down the leaderboard are Chance Kornuth (970,000), Freddy Deeb (873,000), and six-time WSOP bracelet winner Brian Rast (601,000), while Ben Lamb (298,000) and Benny Glaser (167,000) will have their work cut out for them tomorrow to climb back into contention. The likes of Josh Arieh, Jason Koon, Isaac Haxton, and $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha champion Ka Kwan Lau weren’t so unfortunate to survive the day and will have to try again tomorrow.
Late registration remains open until the start of play on Day 2 at 1 p.m. local time, so there is still an opportunity for more players to join the 167 who have already entered and smashed last year’s total of 106 entries. The action picks up tomorrow on Level 13 with blinds of 10,000/15,000 and a 15,000 big blind ante, meaning the starting stack of 300,000 will be worth just 20 big blinds at the start of the day.
Day 1 was a chance for chip leaders to emerge and players to put themselves in a position to make the money. Tomorrow will be a race toward the final table. PokerNews will be following all the action and providing live updates as the stars of the poker world once again converge on the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Fewer than half the field survived the carnage of the first 12 levels and bagged chips. Assorted counts and a recap of today's action are to follow.
Three ways to the 8♦7♠4♦ flop, 31,000 chips each went into the middle as Robert Cowen check-called a bet by Christopher Frank and Jim Collopy also stuck around. After the 2♦ turn, only Cowen check-called a bet worth 90,000 by Frank as they then checked the 5♠ on the river.
Cowen showed his K♦9♦8♣6♣ for the second nut flush and that won the pot.

Both Tommy Le and Allan Le were nowhere to be found anymore and among the late casualties were also Johann Ibanez as well as Ian Bradley.
Chris Lee survived the last all-in for 69,000 with 8♠7♠7♦5♦ against the A♠A♦10♦7♣ of Ky Nguyen. Thanks to a board of J♦5♥2♦K♠7♥, he rivered a set.

Soon after losing the pot to Tommy Le, Isaac Haxton all in for around 200,000 and up against Jesse Lonis.
Isaac Haxton: A♦A♠K♥4♦
Jesse Lonis: A♣K♣10♦3♣
Haxton had picked up aces but wouldn't be in front for long as the 3♠10♣K♦ flop gave Lonis two pair. Lonis improved to two pair on the 10♥ turn and Haxton couldn't find the case ace he was looking for on the river as he busted right at the end of Day 1.

Tommy Le and Isaac Haxton built a pot of around 300,000 heading to the 5♠4♦7♣ flop when Le moved all in for around 150,000. Haxton called to put him at risk.
Tommy Le: A♠A♦7♥3♥
Isaac Haxton: A♣Q♣10♦8♥
The board ran out 6♣A♥ and Le made a straight on the turn to secure his double up and leave Haxton riding a short stack entering the last few minutes of Day 1.
