In what could be the fold of the week, Daniel Alaei just mucked kings to Eli Elezra, the two big stacks at the table. With all of the action pre-flop, Daniel Negreanu raised, Elezra made it 26,000 before Alaei re-raised to 70,000. Negreanu folded before Elezra raised again to 171,000. It's late here but there was still enough of a crowd watching as … [Read more...]

Usually the thought of the bubble, the money and a place on a feature table is big deal. But in a high roller event, with players plastered with bracelets, titles and all manner of plaudits you suspect that isn't as big a deal as it might be. Play has noticeably slowed a little since Denis Phillips busted (in back to back hands). Instead the hour has … [Read more...]

It seemed to take only a few blinks but suddenly we're down to 14. Antonio Esfandiari is out, so too PokerStars Six man Ivan Demidov. But with blinds now 1,500-3,000 with a 300 ante things are getting pricey. Dennis Phillips is still taking advantage of the occasion re-raise, tangling regularly with Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu for at least another … [Read more...]

With level nine underway people are starting to question how long this is going to last. By that I mean the players. This will go on, most people think, until eight players remain, and typically this seems to be what the players want. And with blinds now 1,000-2,000 with a 200 ante the cost of living is starting to go up. Julian van Till moved in, … [Read more...]

The end of the level and another break. Notable chips counts from some of the remaining players are below. Daniel Alaei, whose tournament hopes were boosted earlier today with a pot against Antonio Esfandiari, holds the chip lead on approximately 195,000, closely followed by Michael Fosco who can thank Jason Mercier for his loot. In the last hand of … [Read more...]

We didn't have to wait for first blood on table three. It started with Denis Phillips limping under-the-gun. Jason Mercier next to him did the same, so did Daniel Negreanu and Isaac Haxton. Fosco and Hansen stayed in from the blinds. That's six to see the flop of 9h-3c-7c. Fosco started this time, checking from the small blind. Hansen was in the … [Read more...]

Another player departs leaving three tables of eight, the most notable being table three, a thorough going bruiser featuring a line up that can only cause tremors in the time continuum. Denis Phillips, Jason Mercier, ElkY, Daniel Negreanu, Humberto Brenes, Isaac Haxton, Michael Fosco and Hansen make this an encounter of the unlikely kind, like they'd … [Read more...]

Eliminations after the break, taking us from 28 to 26 players. With blinds now at 600-1,200 with a 100 ante, Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu saw to the first, seeing off Isaac Baron who had been stranded as one of the short stacks for some time. Then Dutch PokerStars qualifier and Supernova elite Julian von Till saw off Canadian Michael Watson, … [Read more...]

In the early fog of today Greg Raymer was eliminated from the High Roller event, one of the 18 players to depart so far, along with Dario Minieri. Daniel Negreanu on the other hand is headed in a nicer direction, resting on 105,000 at the break after two recent victorious pots, including one against Jason Mercier. Notable chip counts from among the … [Read more...]

The high roller event is just a dream gone by for two more players. Sorel Mizzi, who suffered in a bad hand in the first levels, held on with some fight but couldn't massage his 5,000 into anything that might last into level six. Gone. It was the same fate for Boris Becker whose initial good start faded and culminated in an exit at the hands of Josh … [Read more...]
