Only five players remain following the penultimate day 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.
Defending champion Jared Bleznick bagged the chip lead and will be in pole position to run it back after having won the inaugural edition last year. Bleznick came into the day second in chips and got off to a hot start by scoring a knockout and winning a seven-figure pot to move into the chip lead. He never let off the gas and leveraged his stack to accumulate more on his way to holding the Day 2 chip lead and over one-third of the chips in play.
Day 1 chip leader Artem Maksimov sits second in chips, while Sean Winter, Seth Davies, and Josh Arieh round out the players who will return for the final day.
The field of 42 entrants generated a prize pool of $4,200,000 and the top seven finishers earned a piece of it. Each remaining player is guaranteed $330,000, but all eyes will be on the $1,500,000 first-place prize, 450 PGT Points, and the Super High Roller Bowl: Pot-Limit Omaha ring.
2024 PGT Leaderboard frontrunner Jeremy Ausmus has 25 cashes this season and was looking to add another, but he would be the unfortunate bubble boy when he got his shorter stack in ahead on a flop before Maksimov turned a flush to leave Ausmus drawing dead and eliminated on the $170,000 money bubble.

Ben Tollerene was just coming off a victory in the $25K finale of the PGT PLO Series and added another six-figure cash by making it into the money. Tollerene was the first to go at the final table when he got the rest of his shorter stack in with trips and ran into Davies' boat to be eliminated in seventh place.
Sam Soverel was the clear short stack following Tollerene's elimination, and although he stuck around for over an hour, he ultimately fell to Maksimov's flush and was eliminated in sixth place, while the five remaining players bagged to return for the final day of the biggest buy-in Omaha tournament in the world.
