How to play the Gmaj11 chord on piano

Split the recommended voicing between the hands: play G2 and F#3 with the left hand and C4 and A4 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 (B and D) so the third does not clash with the eleventh.
