Stefan Schillhabel
Stefan Schillhabel

Stefan Schillhabel has become the second player to bust out of the €25,500 Single Day High Roller. It was Steve O'Dwyer who opened the action to 3,500. Behind him, Schillhabel three-bet to 11,000, O'Dwyer four-bet to 28,500, Schillhabel five-bet shoved around 100,000 and O'Dwyer snap-called.

Stefan Schillhabel: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Steve O'Dwyer: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

Schillhabel was the favorite going in but saw O'Dwyer get the best of it on a {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} rundown.

Greenwood Doubles Through Reixach

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Sergi Reixach raised to 3,500 from under the gun and was called by Sam Greenwood on the button, Juha Helppi in the small blind and Oleksii Khoroshenin in the big blind. There was no betting action at all on the board of {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} and Helppi was first to show, turning over his {8-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a pair of eights. All opponents mucked and the Finn claimed the pot.

The next hand, Ole Schemion raised to 3,400 and Greenwood shoved from one seat over. Reixach in the big blind asked for a count and, once it was deemed to be for 35,800, the Spaniard went all in over the top. Schemion sighed and folded.

Sam Greenwood: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Sergi Reixach: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades} and neither over card hit to let Greenwood double.

Reixach Pressures Schemion

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On a {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, Sergi Reixach check-called 5,200 from Ole Schemion. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and Reixach check-called the German's second barrel of 9,000.

The river double-paired the board with the {7-Hearts}. Reixach slid a tower of T-5,000 chips forward, more than enough to put Schemion at risk for his remaining stack fo 32,500. Schemion gave it up after a short while.

Kenney's Second Bullet Starts Rough

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Bryn Kenney sat back down for bullet number two not long ago but things escalated quickly once again, albeit not with an all in showdown. After having lost some chips already, he got into a pot with Nick Petrangelo in a battle under the gun versus button. The turn showed {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and Kenney checked, Petrangelo bet 6,000 and Kenney called.

After the {10-Spades} river, Kenney made it 17,000 to go and Petrangelo called to see Kenney muck his cards instantly and forfeit the pot.

Kenney the First to Bust

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

Sam Greenwood opened the action with a raise 3,000 in the cutoff and Bryn Kenney came along from the button, while Oleksii Khoroshenin filled up out of the big blind. On the {K-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, Khoroshenin checked and Greenwood did so as well. Kenney bet 4,600 and Khoroshenin check-raised to 15,200. Greenwood got out of the way and Kenney let his shot clock run down to five seconds before reraising to 30,000.

Khoroshenin moved all in and Kenney called it off for what appeared to be 70,000 total.

Bryn Kenney: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}
Oleksii Khoroshenin: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The {3-Spades} on the turn gave Kenney an additional flush draw, but a blank {4-Hearts} on the river was of no help. Kenney was the first player to bust and is expected to re-enter within the registration period.
