The High Roller Event is now on a 15-minute break with the first two levels of the day done.

The Recently Departed

Ike Leaves Chidwick Short; Chidwick Just Leaves

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

Team PokerStars Team Online member Isaac Haxton took his time about it, but eventually called a Stephen Chidwick 5,500-chip under the gun open from sitting in the small blind. The big blind also called and they went three-way to a {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop.

Haxton and the big checked, allowing Chidwick to continue for 5,000. Only Haxton called, and when the turn came the {2-Hearts}, he took the lead, sliding in a stack of blue amounting to some 45,000.

Left with just 26,200 behind and a decision for his tournament life, Chidwick folded. He left the table immediately after the hand, having been moved to a new one.

Jattin Avoids Elimination

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Farid Jattin started with a decent stack but that vanished rather quickly. Just now he was all in for his last 49,000 chips with the {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and table neighbor Pascal Hartmann looked him up with the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The flop {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{K-Diamonds} changed nothing whatsoever while the {9-Diamonds} turn indeed opened the opportunity for a flush. The dealer then burned and turned the {5-Diamonds} on the river and that completed the unlikely flush to keep Jattin in the tournament.

Ziigmund Doubles

Ilari Sahamies
Ilari Sahamies

Finnish high-stakes online legend Ilari Sahamies, who only registered for the event his morning, has just doubled up.

He got it in dominated with the {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} versus {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, but four spades on a king-high board made him a flush to avoid elimination.

Chip and a Chair for Zinno

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

In a battle of the blinds, the two short stacks Byron Kaverman and Anthony Zinno got their stacks in and Kaverman was at risk with the {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Zinno was behind preflop with {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} but improved on the flop [10c,8d,6s|. The {A-Diamonds} turn didn't change much before the {J-Hearts} appeared on the river to restore the preflop order.

No Joy for Those Three

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Jonathan Roy jammed from the hijack for 37,000 with {A-}{8-} and both players in the blinds wake up with pocket jacks. The board ran out king-high and that was it for the Canadian. Christopher Frank and Jonathan Little have also been eliminated as well.

Yann Dion, Lee Markolt and Jeff Rossiter have already been eliminated a few minutes ago. The next to follow was Connor Drinan, who was crippled after a three-bet jam against Sebastian Pauli with pocket sixes. The EPT11 London champion had pocket kings and doubled up for 58,000 before Drinan lost the rest with {A-}{J-} against the {4-}{8-} of Ivan Luca in the big blind.
