Noel Rodriguez
Noel Rodriguez

Noel Rodriguez raised from the cutoff, Farid Jattin moved all in from the wall blind and Rodriguez waited to see what happened at the other table before he called.

Noel Rodriguez: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Farid Jattin: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The bubble had a good chance to finally pop as the flop came [ 2dkd2c], the turn was the {j-Spades} and the river was the {2-Spades} to burst the bubble after three hours and almost 60 hands of hand for hand play.

Imejjane Hits One-Outer to Survive

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Badr Imejjane
Badr Imejjane

Blake Barousse raised from the cutoff, Badr Imejjane three-bet from the button, it folded back around to Barousse who four-bet jammed and Imejjane called.

Imejjane was at risk with the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} vs the {a-Spades}{4-Spades} of Barousse.

The flop came about as good as Barousse could have hoped for as it came {j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{8-Spades} to pair the ace and eliminate the queen of spades as an out. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and just when things were looking completely bleak for Imejjane, the {q-Clubs} one-outer binked off to keep him in the game and leave Barousse short stacked with about six big blinds which he would lose the rest of just a couple of hands later.

Alex Foxen: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Bin Weng: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Foxen was ace hunting as the flop came {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, the turn was the {9-Hearts} and the river the {7-Hearts} to miss and send him out the door.

Shing Makes Porbandarwala Vanish in a Flash

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Soheb Porbandarwala
Soheb Porbandarwala

Action was on the flop as it read {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. From the cutoff, Soheb Porbandarwala bet 30,000, Philip Shing clicked it back from middle position for 60,000 and got called.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}. Shing bet 35,000. Porbandarwala thought for quite a while before he shoved all in and Shing snap-called and tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Porbandarwala flew out of the room as he walked as fast as he could away from the table after seeing the aces as he had tabled the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. The river was dealt the {6-Spades} long after Porbandarwala was gone and he was felted just like that as Shing enveloped even more chips into his massive stack.

Shing Spikes River to Shift the Chips From Ferro

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Philip Shing
Philip Shing

Action came in hot on the turn as it read {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. From the small blind Philip Shing bet 125,000 into an already large pot. Jacob Ferro spiked forward a full stack of big chips and announced all in, Shing snap-called.

Ferro had the nuts with the {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} beating the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} of Shing who needed the board to pair. And it did as the dealer procured the {8-Spades} on the river to dramatically give Shing the massive pot and deny Ferro what would've been a crushing chip lead well over a million.

"We chose violence" said Shing as the huge pot was pushed toward him.

Rapid Eliminations Continue

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Jennifer Abad
Jennifer Abad

With the stack depth being quite deep, the amount of elimination thus far in the day has been a surprise as nearly half the field has been trimmed before the first break has arrived.

After Christopher Sparks and Maxwell Young were eliminated, Jennifer Abad would follow them out the door as she shoved all in from the small blind. Soheb Porbandarwala had her sweat his cards with him and it was not what she wanted to see as he peeled the {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and called, while she had the {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to miss the ace and send her out and bring the field to 19, and the average stack now even deeper at 81 big blinds.

Chance Kornuth

Chance Kornuth moved all in from middle position, he was called by Jacob Ferro on the button.

Chance Kornuth: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Jacob Ferro: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

"I have a good feeling about this one, just so you know" said Ferro. "It's been good playing with you" he added.

The flop came {4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. The turn was the {7-Clubs} to stay safe for Kornuth but the river made a soothsayer out of Ferro as it came the {q-Hearts} to eliminate Kornuth.

It is almost time for Day 2 of Event: #10: $5,000 NLH High Roller which gets underway at 3 p.m. with thirty players vying for the $120,704 grand prize.

The top nine players will get paid and levels elongate to 75 minutes today starting at Level 11 at with blinds at 1,500/3,000/3,000 which makes for what promises to de a day of deep-stacked high roller action as play will go all the way down to a winner today.

The remaining field is filled with big names and aspiring players alike as Bin Weng leads the field by some distance with a whopping stack of 760,500 which is good for more than 250 big blinds. He is no stranger to the high roller tournament scene as he has revved up his play in the last two years, adding many big results, and will be looking to add another here today by wielding his big stack.

Top 5 Chip Counts

Accomplished player Farid Jattin is next in chips with 441,000. Jattin has over 6 million in career tournament earnings and has a staggering total of 16 six-figure scores in his career, winning this title would become his 17th.

Two of the biggest names in poker still remain; Chance Kornuth who is coming off as a final table at WPT Choctaw just a week ago enters the day with 213,500 and high roller regular Alex Foxen is still alive, albeit with a short stack of 71,000 but with this structure that is still plenty of wiggle room for him to make a move on Day 2.

#6 GPI ranked player Adam Hendrix is also in with a chance on Day 2 with 74,000

Outside of the big names are many players who are looking to secure a big result today.

Austin local Mahesh Rathi has already had a successful Lodge Championship Series thus far and he is looking to add another big result on his home turf as he enters the day third in chips with 409,500.

Young up and comers, Brandon Lulov (247,000) and Michael Jozoff (69,000) are trying to add another result to continue their rise in the poker world.

And two women still remain among the final 30; Wendy Nguyen (142,000) and Jennifer Abad (99,500).

The action will likely go beyond twelve hours until a winner is reached, and PokerNews will be there for every moment.
