Yang Wang with the Big Stack in Event #83: $50,000 High Roller
Livello 12
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Day 1 of Event #83: $50,000 High Roller at the 2023 World Series of Poker hosted by Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas was a smashing success with an impressive 137 entries, which already bested last year’s field of 107. After 12 levels of play, that number was brought down to only 44.
Yang Wang finished in the top of the counts with a whopping 2,175,000, closely followed by Fedor Holz (1,990,000) and Stefan Schilhabel (1,915,000). Holz actually bagged second in chips on Day 1 of this event last year, so he’s not too far off his mark this go round.
End of Day 1 Top 10 Chip Counts

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yang Wang | China | 2,175,000 | 109 |
| 2 | Fedor Holz | Germany | 1,990,000 | 100 |
| 3 | Stefan Schillhabel | Germany | 1,915,000 | 96 |
| 4 | Vlad Darie | Romania | 1,830,000 | 92 |
| 5 | Dylan Linde | United States | 1,770,000 | 89 |
| 6 | Jake Schindler | United States | 1,740,000 | 87 |
| 7 | Masashi Oya | Japan | 1,430,000 | 72 |
| 8 | Espen Jorstad | Norway | 1,340,000 | 67 |
| 9 | Brandon Wittmeyer | United States | 1,330,000 | 67 |
| 10 | Nacho Barbero | Argentina | 1,305,000 | 65 |
Plenty of big names battled throughout the day but weren’t able to find a bag, including the likes of Chris Brewer, Shaun Deeb, Alex Foxen, Kristen Foxen, and Isaac Haxton. Haxton made a late appearance but didn’t stay long as he was felted twice in a rather quick procession.
Popular Hustler Casino Live personality Wesley Fei bagged a healthy 1,295,000 after being moved to a tough table with Espen Jørstad (1,300,000) and Jason Koon (810,000). Fei joked with the bunch that all he wanted to do was bag and he asked the table not to bust him. Fei bagged about double what he bagged last year in this event and is assuredly looking to parlay that into a deep run on Day 2.
The 2023 $400 Colossus winner, Moshe Refaelowitz, was also in the field, making a huge leap after busting from the Main Event up to the high roller. He seemed comfortable enough and held his own throughout the day, bagging more than double the starting stack with 695,000 in chips.
High roller regulars Daniel Negreanu (685,000) and Cary Katz (690,000) also bagged similar stack and the pair will be quite a bit better off than if they had chosen to max late register on Day 2.
Late registration is still until the start of the tournament on Day 2, slated to begin on July 13 at 1:00 p.m local time.
This is only a small peek of the many notables in the field so make sure to tune in to PokerNews to see the outcome of this tremendous WSOP event.

The Chad & Jesse Poker Show Episode #9: Japanese Vlogging Superstar Masato Yokosawa
Livello 12
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
On a recent The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen welcome renowned Japanese vlogger Masato Yokosawa, AKA “World Wide Yokosawa," who is making a deep run in the 2023 WSOP Main Event.
While players in the United States might think folks like Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme has the biggest vlog followings in the world, that distinction actually belongs to Masato, who regularly clears 600K views on each of his vlogs!
The Japanese vlogging sensation opens up about his start in poker, what inspired him to start a vlog, and how he’s managed to turn it into a smashing success with the help of a creative team. He also talks about his desire to win a WSOP gold bracelet, how Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth are perceived in his home country, and what the future looks like for poker in Japan.
Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”
Race Off and Final 3 Hands
Livello 12
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
With ten minutes left on the clock, the floor has announced that they'll be coloring up and racing off the yellow 1,000 chips and there will only be three more hands of play before bag and tag.
Vieira Will Not See The End Of Day 1
Livello 12
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action was caught when Alejandro Lococo found himself in a tough spot after Joao Vieira bet 325,000 on the river.
According to "PapoMC after the hand, he opened preflop from middle position, and Vieira called in the cutoff.
On the flop 3♣3♦A♦ and the turn 10♠, Lococo fired out two barrels, and both times, Vieira called. Then, on the river 9♦, Lococo checked, and Vieira bet almost his entire stack, as he kept only 12,000 chips in his hands.
Lococo took a full minute to make his decision, and he eventually called with A♣K♥ for two pairs. It turned out to be the right move as Vieira had 8♦8♥ for two lower pairs.
On the very next hand, Lococo flipped his cards again, but this time it was preflop after he called Matthias Eibinger's stack, which was approximately 370,000 chips.
Matthias Eibinger: K♦J♣
Alejandro Lococo: A♣9♣
The board showed 5♣3♦K♣7♠4♦, and Eibinger hit a pair of kings, doubling up.
Right after, Eibinger was the one who called Vieira's very small stack.
Joao Vieira: Q♦7♥
Matthias Eibinger: A♣Q♠
On the board 9♥10♦6♣A♥4♦, Vieira couldn't do much to stay in the tournament. He'll have to use his single reentry to win this event a second time.
