Out of a field of 187 entries in Event #79: $50,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2024 World Series of Poker, Germany's Daniel Perkusic has come out on top after a heads up duel with Danny Tang. They earned the two biggest slices of the $8,929,250 prize pool, with Perkusic walking away with the top prize of $2,100,325 whereas Tang had to settle for a runner-up score of $1,400,217.
Perkusic was the only contender without a WSOP gold bracelet to his name when the final day resumed. In fact, this was the first-ever live WSOP event he managed to cash in. However, he navigated the final table expertly and sealed the victory after a masterclass heads-up performance. His two-million-dollar score is by far the largest cash of the Omaha specialist's career, more than tripling his total live recorded earnings.

Day 3 Action
The day started with just five players returning to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Indian high roller Santhosh Suvarna entered the day as the shortest stack and hit the rail after only a few hands. Suvarna got it in with aces on the flop, but ran into the set of Perkusic and received no help.
Dutch pot-limit Omaha giant Ronald Keijzer and Tang then created a huge pot of over 20,000,000 chips. Keijzer check-shoved on the river on a paired board against chipleader Tang. Tang eventually sniffed out Keijzer��s bluff, who had put all his chips in with blockers to full houses. Tang played the second nuts and made the correct call to eliminate Keijzer.
With over half the chips in play, Tang seemed to run away with it at that point. However, Perkusic won some pots against the leader to close the gap. Perkusic eventually even overtook the lead and solidified it when he knocked out two-time bracelet winner Jim Collopy in third place when his pocket aces held against the pocket kings of Collopy, setting up the heads-up match with Tang.
Early in the heads up, Tang momentarily took back the lead, and it looked like a comeback was in the cards for the Hong Kong native. However, after a while, Tang could not seem to win any hand, with Perkusic winning small pot after small pot while being cheered on by his friends on the rail.
Tang managed to double twice, with four big blinds to his name the first time and three the second time. On the final hand, Tang got it in good again as he had flopped bottom set against Perkusic's top two pair, but the river gave the German a full house to secure his victory and award him his maiden bracelet.
This concludes our coverage of the $50,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha. However, the 2024 World Series of Poker is still in full swing with the iconic $10,000 Main Event just getting underway, so keep checking in with PokerNews to not miss any of the action from all the bracelet events going on.
