High Roller Day 2 Begins at Noon
![[user252447]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The action was fast and furious throughout yesterday’s 10 hours of play. With antes in play from the very first level every pot was worth fighting for, and the fact that it was a single re-entry tournament meant that a second chance was always available if the first shot didn’t work out. Indeed for 34 High Rollers, out of the total number of 135 entrants so far, one bullet just wasn’t enough and they reached into their pocket for another €10,000 buy-in.
Georgios Karakousis will start Day 2 as the chip leader of remaining 84 players with 407,200. Not too far behind him is Dmitri Yurasov who returns with332,600. Some others who chipped up from their 50,000 starting stack include Dmitri Yurasov (362,000), Jonathan Little (241,000), Steve O’Dwyer (141,400), and Team PokerStars Pros Vanessa Selbst (236,000) and Isaac Haxton (207,900).
Dominik Nitsche (133,400) is another to make the second day, having decided to re-invest his €9,200 cash in the EPT Prague Main event. David Vamplew is on his second bullet with just over starting stack of 50,300 but Dan Shak who re-bought late in the day made a late run to spin it up to 205,800.
Registration is still open until the start of play today so the total number of entrants and re-entrants is bound to increase. Blinds will be resuming at 1,000 / 2,000 with a 300 ante level 11. Expect a flurry of early bust outs and re-entries as players look to go big or go home. We will bring you the details of the pay-out structure and top prize as soon as it’s announced with first place sure to be an eye watering amount of money.
The action gets underway at 12 p.m. CET, one hour earlier than yesterday. Your PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be following all the action and bringing you the latest developments as it happens throughout the day. Make sure you keep an eye on what promises to be an action packed game of High Roller Poker.

Binar Busts Sharifullin
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
A short-stacked Radif Sharifullin got his chips all in preflop holding the 
and was racing against the 
of the Czech Republic's Pavel Binar.
Sharifullin seemed happy to at least be in a flip situation, but his enthusiasm quickly waned as the board ran out an uneventful 
. Sharifullin failed to his one of his overs and his High Roller experience came to an end here in the opening minutes of Day 2.

Haxton in Early Action
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Thomas Muhlocker opened for 4,200 on the first hand of the day and Isaac Haxton in the small blind nodded in thought and then made a raise to 18,000. The big blind folded and Muhlocker checked his cards once again before passing them to the dealer. Folded to Haxton on the button next hand he opened for 9,000 and the blinds folded. He was in the cut-off next hand but didn’t push his luck and declined to try to make it three in a row.

Don’t Check the Nuts Last to Act
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
The floor was called to table 10 where Martin Hanowski was unhappy that he checked it to Nadar Kakhmazov in the last hand and Kakhmazov had checked it back with the nut flush, something that is not allowed. Kakhmazov explained to the floor that the flush had come in on the river and he hadn’t realised he had it, thinking he just had middle pair. The floor explained that the penalty is usually one round, but in this case it was ruled a genuine mistake and he would only to sit out four hands. That seemed to satisfy everyone and play resumed.
