The third largest buy-in of the 2017 World Series of Poker kicked off Wednesday afternoon with twice the cards dealt to each player than the first two prestigious large buy-in events offered. Day 1 of Event #67: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed High Roller got underway at 3 p.m. and drew a field of 187.
Only 103 players remain after ten hour-long levels of battle on the felt. Leading the charge heading into Day 2 is Iraj Parvizi.
During the last few hands of the night, Parvizi was the beneficiary of a dream river card to make a straight to crack Sean Winters' flopped set after the two got their stacks in the middle on the turn. Parvizi bagged a healthy stack of 850,000 soon after.
The defending champion of this event, Finland's Jens Kyllönen, was a no-show, but the inaugural champ back in 2015 Anthony Zinno made an appearance and will continue on to Day 2 after bagging 172,000. 2016 runner-up Tommy Le also jumped into the mix, just days after claiming his first bracelet in Event #54: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed Championship. Le will carry a stack of 126,500 into Day 2.
Joining Parvizi at the top of the counts are Michael Kamran (550,000), Artem Babakhanyan (524,500), Gjergj Sinishtaj (508,500), Joshua Beckley (471,000) and James Calderaro (466,500).
A great story from the early stages came not long after the day kicked off. Leon Tsoukernik scooped a monster pot by eliminating Nadar Kakhmazov, moments after Kakhmazov took his seat. Tsoukernik almost tripled his starting stack to take a huge lead, but less than an hour later he was standing on the other side of the rail. His chips were distributed to Max Silver and Babakhanyan.
Several notables are also headed to play on Day 2, including Silver (402,500), JC Tran (388,000), David Williams (365,500), Roberto Romanello (284,000), Brain Rast (259,000), Sylvain Loosli (240,000), and Eric Wasserson (215,000).
With 187 entries through Day 1, this marks a record attendance for this prestigious event. That number could easily grow even more as late-registration remains open until the start of Day 2. In 2106 a total of 184 players entered, beating 2015’s mark of 175.
Notables failing to progress include Brandon Shack-Harris, Talal Shakerchi, Davidi Kitai, Robert Mizrachi, Cliff Josephy, Mohsin Charania, Connor Drinan, Shaun Deeb and David Benyamine.
Day 2 will resume at 2 p.m. on Thursday inside the Amazon Room with another ten hour-long levels on the schedule.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor to provide all the action until a winner is crowned on Saturday, July 8.

Winter Busts to Parvizi In Huge Pot
Nível 10
: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
With around 70,000 in the middle and the turn showing 
, the two big stacks Iraj Parvizi and Sean Winter clashed in a massive pot that saw both stacks find their way into the middle of the table.
Sean Winter: 
Iraj Parvizi: 
Parvizi's open-ended straight draw and flush draw had quite some outs to crack the set of Winter, and Parvizi indeed got there thanks to the 
river. The stacks were counted and Parvizi had 411,900, which covered the 375,000 of Winter by some small margin. It will take some time for Parvizi to stack up all the chips and have an accurate idea just how much he has.

: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

turn, Silver bet 10,500 and Lunkin called before the Brit announced "pot" on the 
river. The final bet was worth 34,200 and Lunkin elected to fold, dropping below the starting stack as a result.

Song's Unlikely Hold
Nível 10
: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
With around 100,000 in the middle and the four-way flop reading 
, Michael Song moved all in for his last 39,800 out of the big blind. Alexey Rybin asked for a count and folded, while the player in the cutoff raised the pot to force out the button.
Michael Song: 
Cutoff: 
The turn and 
river were both blanks and Mike Krasienko in the eight seat said "sickest hold ever." He then took out his phone to calculate the equity and the cutoff had 72% to win the hand on the flop, including a club back door flush draw.

Nível 10
: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
With about 68,000 in the pot of a

Sekularac slid out a bet of 40,400 and his opponent went into the tank. A few moments went by before his opponent tossed his cards into the muck, awarding Sekularac the pot.
