Andras "probirs" Nemeth Leads Ten Players in SCOOP-52-H: $25,000 NLHE [8-Max, Super High Roller]
A hectic day filled with loads of high stakes and high-level poker, Day 1 of the PokerStars 2020 SCOOP-52-H: $25,000 Super High Roller has come to an end with 10 players making it through to Day 2. The tournament attracted 59 unique players who reentered a total of 30 times to create a prize pool of $2,182,725 and 11 players getting paid.
Taking the chip lead to Day 2 is Andras "probirs" Nemeth with 6,061,664 in chips. Nemeth is no stranger to the high roller tournaments, claiming several wins in the live and online arenas. He did need two bullets though but got a bunch of his chips when he eliminated Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv first, then Ryhor "Grisha1983" Karapanau just before the bubble, and Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams on the bubble. Adams got paid though as Pauli "fiilismies" Ayras busted just before him when he ran his short stack into the ace-ten of Ole "wizowizo" Schemion while holding queen-jack.
Second in the counts is Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi who won a big pot against Nemeth during the bubble where he flopped a Broadway and a few more well-timed bets gave him 3,225,908 in the end. Completing the top three is Schemion with 2,560,483. But as expected the players making it through are some of the best and well-known players in the world.
Chun Lei "SamRostan" Zhou (2,044,930), Joao "Naza114" Vieira (2,042,144), Ben "Sauce123" Sulsky (2,018,569), Vyacheslav "VbV1990" Buldygin (1,249,913), Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz (1,170,863), Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer (1,038,224), and Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden (837,302) have all made it through.
Ole "wizowizo" Schemion is third in chips after Day 1
