$5,300 High Roller Mega Satellite Down to 15

The bigger-money story sat one room over. WSOP Event #195, the $5,300 High Roller NLH Landmark Mega Satellite, played down to two tables with 15 players remaining and a stacked field still in contention.

Two-time bracelet winner Fahredin Mustafov — $4.56M in lifetime earnings, 18 career final tables, plus three WSOPC rings — is among those chasing a seat. So is Austria's Max Neugebauer, a one-bracelet holder with $2.55M lifetime. Germany's Oliver Weis ($2.84M lifetime, one bracelet, 16 final tables) was also in the field but listed as eliminated in 18th. Two-ring winner Benjamin Grise ($535,995 lifetime, seven final tables) rounds out the notable names still alive.
