High roller Tomas Jozonis, who played the €5,300 King's High Roller earlier this week to no success, found his demise at the hands of Mirco Peters. Jozonis fell in two steps: first he ran into Peters' , then with his last chips he ran into the nut straight of both Peters and Vladimir Troyanovskiy.
Jozonis cashed the $25,000 High Roller at the Aussie Million in January, where he cashed $72,545. In Rozvadov, the number of cashes is still zero for the Lithuanian, who will probably be playing both Day 1d and the €2,200 High Roller on Sunday.
