WSOP $50,000 High Roller gets down to final six, Ben Heath in the lead
The winner of the star-studded final will take home $1,484,085 and the gold bracelet. In the meantime two other events concluded.
The biggest event of the Series' so far, the $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller attracted 110 entries, who created a prize pool of $5,280,000. The field was made up of the best players in the world, as it is usual for tournaments with buy-ins of this caliber.
Several household names, like Sam Grafton (11th; $101,604), or Manig Loeser (10th; $122,551) and poker-loving billionaires David Einhorn (9th; $122,551) and PokerGO founder, Cary Katz (8th; $151,755) made a deep run, but none of them will return for the final day.
Unlike them, Dmitry Yurasov, Nick Petrangelo, Chance Kornuth, Andrew Lichtenberger, Sam Soverel and Beath are still in thanks to the deep structure of the event, all of them have a good shot at the title.
Final table chip counts:
Ben Heath 7,630,000
Sam Soverel 7,540,000
Andrew Lichtenberger 5,615,000
Chance Kornuth 5,000,000
Nick Petrangelo 4,100,000
Dmitry Yurasov 3,660,000

Nicholas Haynes outlasted a field of 685 in the $500 Casino Employees Event (Event #1) to take home $62,248. Nicholas is a dealer at the Aria, and he praised the players he deals for after his victory: "I'm thankful for my job and the players [at Aria]." Haynes said after his victory. "There's a lot of incredible players. I watch them and just pick up little bits here and there. Over time, you just become better, you sharpen your edges. I feel like they were very instrumental in my play today. That's why I'm thankful for my job and the players there."
