Just moments after Timothy Adams check-raised all in on the river against Nick Petrangelo, another massive pot ensued on Table 2. Talal Shakerchi got things started with a raise to 3,500 from under the gun and was called by Steve O'Dwyer and Matthias Eibinger on his left. Cary Katz three-bet to 18,500 in the cutoff and Alex Foxen four-bet to 48,000 on the button. Adams thought about it in the big blind but folded along with Shakerchi.

O'Dwyer used up two time extensions before five-bet shoving all in. Eibinger and Katz quickly folded and Foxen snapped it off for his remaining 245,000. Foxen turned up {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} in front of him and O'Dwyer was pipped with {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} as Foxen held on for a double with a set of kings and O'Dwyer slipped to around 40,000.

Another Day, Another Super High Roller Gets Underway

PCA Bahamas Atlantis
PCA Bahamas Atlantis

Just as one super high roller event is wrapping up here at the PCA, another is set to begin with the $100,000 Single-Day Super High Roller. The action will be fast and furious but there will still be plenty of money up for grabs with all of the best players in the world.

The action is slated to begin at around 12:30 p.m. but like with all high rollers, there is likely to be a delay before the cards get in the air. Each player will begin with 100,000 chips, which equates to 100 big blinds for the first two levels. The blinds will start at 500/1,000 and a 1,000 big blind ante. They will be 30-minutes in length with a 15-minute break after every four levels and an 80-minute dinner break after level 12.

There is an unlimited number of entries permitted until the registration period closes at the beginning of level 9. That should allow for plenty of all-ins and many big pots in the early stages of the tournament. The shot clock will be in play from the start of the tournament with each decision being given 30 seconds. Each player will also be given six time bank cards of 30 seconds each for those tough decisions.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the tournament floor to bring you all of the action throughout the entire tournament.
