Welcome back to day 2 coverage of The HKD $100,000 (~USD $13,000) High Rollers Event. The tournament gets underway at 2:20 p.m. local time and play will continue until a champion is crowned. With 40-minute levels and blinds escalating quickly, we are expecting a day filled with action and plenty of all ins.

Marius Torbergsen begins the day with the biggest stack and a solid lead with 706,500 but will need to fend off plenty of competition as he fights to stay out in front and claim the first place prize of HK$1,831,000 (about $236,000).

Starting the day second in chips is Quan Zhou, last month’s APPT Seoul High Roller Champion with 523,000. Also still in the field are high-stakes player Winfred Yu (243,500), 2012 Aussie Millions Champion Kenny Wong (230,000), successful tournament player J.J. Liu (214,500) and 2010 APPT Macau Main Event Champion, Victorino Torres (163,000).

There is plenty happening in the beautiful PokerStars LIVE Poker Room in the City of Dreams today. In addition to The High Roller Event, The Main Event will also be crowning its champion. Stay with PokerNews for all the excitement from Macau. See you soon.
