Guillermo Bonilla is the leader from Day 1 with more than 400k while Jolnar Teliani is second with 252,500 for Day 2 play. Full stacks are posted under the chip counts tab. Day 1 saw 29 entries for prizes just shy of $50k, but it's likely there will be some extra bodies in the game tomorrow.
The High Roller is on the second break of the day with the end of Level 6 and there are 26 entries on the board with 15 players still in their seats. Eric Wasylenko, who wont be going three-for-three in the Main Event this time is in the HR mix still looking for a trophy.
There are 18 entries in the High Roller now with 16 players still at the felt. That puts the prizes a bit higher than $30k right now with about 10 minutes to play in Level 3 and the first break of the day scheduled after this level.
The High Roller is up to 16 entries for prizes of $27,360 and among the recent entries were Jolnar Teliani, Colten Yamagishi, Hari Aujla, and Kris Steinbach, who may well have achieved a unique feat earlier today in the Main Event after getting paid twice.
Level 1 action is now underway in the High Roller with 8 players in their seats for prizes of $13,680 now. Among the players in their seats are DJ Sharma, Ross Wilson, and Steve Azizi.
The clock still isn't running but the HR is about to kick off with 6 players in the field. I expect the field to remain small for the early hours of today, but I expect the entries to pick up as the night wears on, with a few new ones before play kicks off tomorrow.
Event: | #11 - $2,000 High Roller ($1,800 + $200) |
Date: | Day 1, July 28, 4 pm |
Blinds: | 40 Minutes |
Start Stack: | 50,000 |
Late Entry: | 9 Levels (Start of Day 2) |
The High Roller game is the second-last trophy event on the scheduled for this PPT, but it's likely it will be the final trophy awarded, as the winner won't be decided until sometime on Monday. The final trophy event, #12, will start and finish tonight, and the Main Event will also likely finish today, or earlier than the HR tomorrow at least.
High Roller action kicks off at 4 pm on Sunday with 9 levels of play and entries are open all day. In fact, players can buy into the game as late as the start of play on Day 2. Blinds will last for 40 minutes throughout the game, and players sit down with 50k in chips to start.
I won't be paying a huge amount of attention to this one today as I'll be watching the Main play down to a winner, but I should be picking up most of the action tomorrow.
