We're back at Salle Des Etoiles at the Monte Carlo Bay Resort for another day of High Roller action. Tobias Reinkemeier is atop the leaderboard starting out the day today, followed closely by Luke Schwartz and Markus Golser.

The 41 remaining players have taken their seats and among them are Gus Hansen, Tony G, Andrew Feldman, Chad Brown, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, and William Thorson, just to name a few.

There's plenty of action going on here today, with the Main Event Final Table down to eight and playing to a winner, a €1,000 6max tournament starting, and the remaining fields from the side events from yesterday all beginning their days as well.

Cards should be in the air here shortly, so keep it locked here for all the action from the High Roller event, here in Monte Carlo.

Kamar Out

From under the gun, Paul Berende made it 6,000 to go and Fady Kamar moved all in behind him. It folded back around to Berende who made the call with the covering stack.

Berende tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Kamar showed {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

The board was no help for Kamar when it came down {2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and with that, another player has been sent packing.

Dyer Gone

[user140344]
[user140344]
After a bet from Paul Berende from the cutoff, and a call from the button, Greg Dyer in the small blind moved all-in. Berende then put all his chips at risk against the button, who folded. So it was Dyer and Berende to the flop, with Dyer all-in for his tournament life.

Dyer: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Berende: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} board was no help to Dyer and now there is an empty seat at the table.
