Event #29: $50K High Roller NLH promises an intense clash among the world's poker elite, vying for one of the most coveted bracelets and seven-figure payouts. The tournament, featuring the highest buy-in at WSOP 2026, attracted a total of 167 entries, generating a massive prize pool of $7,932,500.
The final day sees the last 12 players in action, led by Indian pro and two-time bracelet winner Santhosh Suvarna, holding a significant lead.
Trailing closely is last year's $25K High Roller champion Chang Lee, who made a spectacular comeback from just seven big blinds to secure the second spot.
In contention for the title and the top prize of nearly $1.9 million are also big names like Chris Brewer and the day two leader Brandon Wilson.
