How to play the Bmaj11 chord on piano

Split the recommended voicing between the hands: play Bb2 and A3 with the left hand and Eb4 and C5 with the right. Suggested fingering is 5–1 on the left and 1–5 on the right (1 is the thumb). This practical voicing omits the third and perfect fifth (D and F) so the third does not clash with the eleventh.
