Just 39 players remain in the $25,000 Pot-limit Omaha High Roller at the 2019 WSOP with the tournament playing down to a final table of six players across today's action.
Last year, the 2018 PLO High Roller saw seven levels take play in order to whittle 35 players down to a final table, so expect a similarly intriguing day of four-card drama today.
Leading the field at the start of play is 2018 WSOP Europe bracelet winner Anson Tsang who was one of two players to bag over four million chips. He is followed in the counts by James Chen, who is still looking for his first WSOP bracelet. Also still in the running is the only player still standing from last year's final table Ryan Tosoc, who finished in sixth place last time out. Tosoc will be looking to go deep and secure a place at the final table for the second year running.
Interestingly, those three men share a table today, with Paul Volpe also in their company. Whoever emerges as the leader from that table is sure to have a great chance of winning the tournament outright.
As is to be expected, there are plenty of big names eyeing up the prestigious title and over $1.6m in prize money for first place. They include Robert Mizrachi, Erik Seidel and all-time money list leader Justin Bonomo.
Play resumes at 2 p.m. here at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and PokerNews will be on hand to provide you with all the live updates throughout the day as we find out which six players will make up the final table for this prestigious event.
