Ana Marquez was railing her boyfriend rather than playing herself. She explained she lost a race with ace-jack versus an opponent holding pocket nines.
No such problems for Ben Warrington on that front. His bettered Marvin Rettenmaier's through a board. All the chips went in preflop and Warrington was the all in player with 77,800.
Mikhail Kototkikh has lost some ground in the early levels and is unusually quiet — though an eccentric outburst can't be too far away.
Korotkikh opened from the cutoff with a raise to 5,400 and Ofer Schechter called from the button. The flop saw Korotkikh bet 15,000 and Schechter call.
The turn slowed Korotkikh down, but not Schechter. After counting his stack, Schechter fired a bet of 22,000 which left him with just 35,000 behind and Korotkikh quickly got out of the way.
The High Roller event has lost a dangerous player; Anton Wigg has been eliminated.
We saw Wigg standing from his chair and gathering his belongings. He was already on the rail when we saw a board and Alexandre Reard at with in front of him.
Wigg's fellow countryman Martin Jacobson told us Reard opened from late position, Wigg three-bet all-in with ace-jack from the blinds and Reard obviously called.
Jean Noel Thorel's overeagerness has possibly just cost him some action from at least one player.
Thorel opened to 5,000 in early position and after a couple of players folded, Vladimir Troyanovski three-bet to 13,000. More players folded until the action was on Timothy Reilly in the big blind, he checked his cards but before he could act Thorel four-bet an additional 35,000 chips!
"With that I think I fold!" quipped Reilly, and it was Troyanovski's turn to act. He studied Thorel for 20-30 seconds before folding.
Timothy Reilly is having a profitable day although he did drop back a little after trying to bluff the bigger-stacked Vladimir Troyanovski.
The flop was showing and Troyanovski check-called a 10,500 bet to see the turn. He checked to let Reilly have another stab with a 22,000 bet which he also called.
Both players checked the river and Reilly could only muster . Troyanovski took the pot with his .
Marc-Andre Ladouceur has just doubled up through Ghassan El Hoss but he is still short on chips here in the High Roller.
El Hoss opened to 5,300 from under the gun and the action folded all the way around to Ladouceur in the big blind and he shoved for 11,700 in total. El Hoss called and the cards were opened.
El Hoss:
Ladouceur:
Ladouceur took the lead on a flop and he eventually improved to a flush as the turn and river were the and respectively to double him up.
