There was action between Rainer Kempe and Erik Seidel on a flop. Kempe had a T-5,000 chip in front of him, Seidel check-raised to 11,300 and Kempe called. Seidel bet 15,000 on the turn and Kempe called again.
On the river, Seidel checked how much Kempe had behind - 33,000 - and moved all in. The German high-roller needed two time bank chips to come to a decision and eventually folded.
Soon after busting his first bullet, Sergio Aido bought in for attempt number two. Salman Behbehani busted yesterday and also jumped in just now while below are further assorted counts.
The High Rollers are heading into their first 15-minute break of the day and the screens show 176 entries in total, including 40 re-entries. There are 94 hopefuls remaining and the single re-entry and registration period remains open for the next level after the break.
Josip Simunic raised to 3,800 and Emmanuel Pariset called in the small blind, as did Mustapha Kanit in the big blind. On the flop, Pariset bet 5,000 and Kanit folded, Simunic called. The turn saw pariset check-call a bet worth 7,000 before the river was checked through. Pariset showed and Simunic had that beat with .
Hand 2
One hand later, Julian Stuer raised to 4,400 and Anthony Zinno called in the cutoff. On the button, Pariset shoved for 19,500 and Stuer reshoved to get Zinno out of the way. Zinno took more than the 30 seconds on the shot clock, though, and had to forfeit one time bank card.
Isaac Haxton raised to 3,500 from the hijack. Justin Bonomo three-bet to 9,500 on the button and Haxton called. Haxton check-called 6,000 from Bonomo on the flop and 12,000 on the turn.
Both players checked the river, which turned out to be a wise decision by Bonomo as Haxton rolled over for, oh, just quad aces. Bonomo mucked and the two laughed a bit afterwards.
Anthony Spinella has re-entered and Hannes Speiser avoided just that. For the second hand in a row, Speiser open-shoved his short stack and in the second hand he was called by Scott Margereson in the big blind.
Hannes Speiser:
Scott Margereson:
The board came and Speiser locked up the double to more than starting stack.
After Dan "Jungleman" Cates had opened to 1,600, Sam Grafton shoved all in for 22,100. Cates took a while before making the call, leaving himself with just 7,500 behind.
"Wanna do one?" Grafton asked and Cates complied by showing just the first. Grafton showed the before revealing the . Cates then showed the and had Grafton dominated but the board ran out to improve Grafton to a straight.
Charlie Carrel raised from the cutoff and found a single caller in Christoph Vogelsang in the big blind, who was trying to hide his face behind a hoodie. On the flop, Vogelsang check-called a bet of 3,500 and then check-folded the turn when facing a bet of 10,000.
Carrel has pretty much exactly the average stack right now, and below are further updated counts. Hartmann has been busted by Ryan Riess.
