Artem Maksimov bagged nearly six times the starting stack and leads 15 remaining players after Day 1 of the 2024 Super High Roller Bowl: $100k Pot-Limit Omaha presented by Vision GTO Trainer at the PokerGO Studio from ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Maksimov was among the bigger stacks in the first few levels and shot up even higher when he eliminated Jesse Lonis in a massive pot. Lonis got the rest of his chips in on the turn with two pair, a straight draw, and a flush draw against Maskimov's top set. The river bricked out and Maksimov soared to the top of the leaderboard where he stayed through the end of the night.

Second in chips is reigning champion Jared Bleznick, who won the inaugural version of this event last year and will be in a prime position to run it back. Bleznick found a key hand late in the evening when he eliminated Samuli Sipila with the nuts versus the second nuts. Bleznick had flopped quad jacks, and when the turn gave Sipila aces-full, the fate of the Finn was all but cemented as the rest of his chips went in on the river to give Bleznick a boost on his way to the second biggest stack.
