The first six levels scheduled for Day 1 of the €25,750 Super High Roller at the Portomaso Casino are done and dusted. So far there have been 43 unique players and seven of them took advantage of the single re-entry option to create a field of 50 entries. Among those on their second bullet were Andras Nemeth, 2016 WSOP bracelet winner Martin Kozlov, Juha Helppi, Scott Seiver, Ali Reza Fatehi, Dan Shak and [Removed:17], yet Shak (92,000) and Yan (132,000) are now among the biggest stacks.

Yan lost most of his stack in a four-bet pot with {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} against the kings of Shak, after the latter got his stack in on a queen-high flop. Yan bought back in, forced a fold from Jean-Noel Thorel to boost his stack and then even knocked out the Frenchman to take over the lead. The online whizard from New Zealand has 134,000 thus far and only trails Patrick Leonard with 148,000.

Charlie Carrel (131,000) dominated his table to build a decent stack thus far, while Scott Seiver (118,000) and Adrian Mateos (98,800) are also among the big stacks. Nick Petrangelo's flip with {A-Spades}{K-Spades} against the pocket tens of Pratyush Buddiga was among the biggest pots played and the EPT13 Barcelona Single-Day High Roller champion was left short, Petrangelo accumulated 81,000 thus far.

Once the players return from dinner at approximately 8.45 p.m., they will play another four levels of 60 minutes each to wrap up around 1 a.m. local time and registration remains open until 15 minutes prior to the start of Day 2 tomorrow.
