: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
The stage is set for the conclusion of Event #76: $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha as only five players remain to battle for the largest slices of the juicy $7,968,000 prize pool. Within the last two levels of late registration, the field was boosted to 83 overall entries at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Four of the five hopefuls still in contention already have at least one World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet, and the lineup for the final day is headlined by none other than Daniel Negreanu.
After a topsy-turvy day during which he held the chip lead several times, Negreanu bagged up 12,320,000 and only trails Chris Frank (13,660,000) on the overnight leaderboard. Fellow German-speaking High Roller regular and mixed games specialist Philip Sternheimer (9,455,000) is only one big blind behind Japan's Yosuke Miki (9,710,000), while the always dangerous Artur Martirosian should not be underestimated despite holding the smallest stack of 4,680,000.

Action of the Day
The penultimate tournament day brought back 19 survivors from Day 1, but with late registration still open, that figure was subject to frequent change. In total, there were an additional 33 entries and reentries, with most players who jumped in opting to do so at the very last minute. What followed was carnage at the tables for about an hour as the field was cut in half during the first level thereafter.
Many well-known top pros such as Alex Foxen, Phil Ivey, Shaun Deeb, Brian Rast, Josh Arieh, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and Bryn Kenney were among those bowing out in this very volatile and frantic period. Rast bowed out in a three-way all-in with the bottom end of the straight when Robert Cowen had flopped the nut straight. Defending champion Deeb suffered a similar fate with the second-nut straight as Martirosian had turned Broadway to send the now nine-time bracelet winner to the rail.
After slightly more than one full level, the final two tables were reached, and the money bubble was in sight. Jason Koon saw his hopes vanish within two hands, and the next high-profile casualty followed only a few minutes later. Bryce Yockey doubled through Martirosian when both players held pocket aces and Yockey made eights full of kings, only to then lose all of his chips in two hands to Jeremy Ausmus. Two spots away from the money, Winter scored a huge double through Sergio Martinez Gonzalez and leapt into second place on the leaderboard.
Ultimately, it was three-time gold bracelet winner and 2026 WSOP Player of the Year contender Naoya Kihara who became the last casualty without anything but an expensive entry slip to show for it. Down to a severe short stack, Kihara flopped top two pair, but Martirosian notched up another knockout with rivered trips nines to bring the field into the money.
The first eliminations thereafter came at a rapid pace, with the likes of Joao Simao, Jonathan Depa and Lautaro Guerra all having to settle for a min-cash. Gergo Nagy was then sucker-punched by Martirosian on the unofficial final table bubble, and that sent nine players into the dinner break.
In the very first hand coming back, the UK's Cowen clashed with Negreanu, and his overpair and flush draw was up against the top set of "Kid Poker". Two blanks later, Cowen was denied another Omaha gold bracelet, whereas Negreanu jumped to second place behind Martirosian.
Ausmus had his stack reduced to fumes after a big clash with Sternheimer and became the next casualty. Then, Martinez Gonzalez's run-bad deep in Omaha High Roller contests during the 2026 WSOP continued when Miki rivered a flush to crack his flopped set of tens.
Despite his big double before the money bubble, Sean Winter didn't make it until the end of the night. After several setbacks, including doubling up Negreanu, the High Roller regular became the distinct short stack and ultimately got it in with pocket aces postflop. Frank had flopped top two pair and held to eliminate Winter in sixth place, eventually claiming the chip lead upon completion of ten levels.

Level 20
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

What followed was a five-way limped family pot with everyone heading to the 10♦7♠4♠ flop. It checked all the way to Negreanu on the button, who bet 800,000. Only Martirosian called in the hijack, and they checked down the 9♥ turn as well as the Q♣ river.
Martirosian showed his K♦Q♠9♠8♥ for queens and nines, much to the demise of Negreanu, who sighed vividly. "I had tens and sevens with spades," he said before mucking the cards.
