Overview
- Simao captured Event #55, the $50,000 Pot‑Limit Omaha High Roller, on Sunday and earned $1,368,700 for his fourth WSOP bracelet.
- He trailed heads‑up 20.8 million to 12.2 million before doubling with pocket aces and then flopping a set that became a full house to win the title on the final hand.
- The tournament drew 110 entries over June 19–21 for a $5,225,000 prize pool and paid eight players with published final‑table payouts.
- Santhosh Suvarna finished runner‑up for $912,420 after earlier winning the $50K No‑Limit Hold’em high roller at this series and remains a high‑earning businessman rather than a touring pro.
- Simao’s win extends Brazil’s strong run at the summer series, moves him up PGT standings and shapes narratives and entries ahead of the Main Event beginning in early July.
