Welcome to the Penultimate Day of Event #85: $50,000 High Roller
A total of 101 entries were recorded on Day 1 of Event #85: $50,000 High Roller, with 35 unique individuals, plus any late registrants, returning for Day 2 action.
Late registration for this event is open until the cards are in the air at the start of Day 2.
Jason Koon (2,405,000; 1x WSOP Winner) was the only player who eclipsed the two million chip mark at the end of the day, and he will be hoping to put that ammunition to good use as he seeks his second WSOP gold bracelet.
Directly behind Koon is the red hot Ole Schemion (1,760,000; 1x WSOP Winner) who is fresh off his dominant performance in Event #79: 1,979 Hall of Fame Bounty last week that secured his first piece of WSOP jewelry.
