With a pot of around 65,000 to the Q♠7♣4♣K♥ turn, Najeem Ajez bet 42,000 from the big blind into Martin Dam from under the gun. The table had started four-handed and Dam gave it brief consideration before folding.
Picking up the action on a turn of Q♠9♠9♦K♥ with around 12,000 chips in the pot, Ronald Keijzer and Joao Simao checked out of the blinds to Jesse Lonis on the button.
Lonis then bet 8,000 chips, which only Simao called. The 10♠ river was checked down and Lonis won the pot with Q♥J♠9♥7♥ for nines full of queens.
During the hand, Dylan Weisman took his seat at the table.
There are 22 players registered according to the tournament info and the following players are already in contention.

Today sees the start of Event #79: $50,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed) here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This three-day event begins at 2 p.m. local time, with late registration open for 13 levels (≈ 1:40 p.m. on Day 2). This event allows for two reentries. There will be 15-minute breaks every three levels.
The starting stack is 300,000 chips, and Day 1 will consist of 12 levels. Levels last 40 minutes. Day 2 resumes at 1:00 p.m. local time for the surviving players and plays until only five remain. Day 3's start time has yet to be decided.
Last year’s event drew in 200 entrants, who created a $9,550,000 prize pool. America's Jesse Lonis came out on top, raking in $2,303,017 and his second WSOP bracelet.
“It’s incredible. It’s my first $50,000, so I can’t start better in the high rollers,” he said following his win. “It just feels great because it’s a tough tournament. Obviously, every player in it, 99 percent of them, are great players. It was a mental battle and nice to come out on top.”
