Finnish player Joni Jouhkimainen bagged more than six times the starting stack and leads 11 remaining players after Day 1 of the 2025 Super High Roller Bowl: $100k Pot-Limit Omaha from the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Jouhkimainen chipped up early and leveraged his stack to steadily accumulate en route to the overnight chip lead. Second in chips is Jesse Lonis, while Bryce Yockey and Dylan Weisman round out the players who bagged a seven-figure stack.

Isaac Haxon, Artur Martirosyan, Jason Koon, Ben Lamb, Veselin Karakitukov, recent PLO Series II champion Chino Rheem, and Stephen Chidwick were the other players to put chips in the bag at the conclusion of Day 1 of the biggest buy-in PLO tournament in the world.

Registration remains open until the start of Day 2 at 1 p.m. PT on Tuesday, October 28. The current field of 30 entrants has thus far generated a prize pool of $3,000,000.
