Erik Seidel and Max Altergott have a few things in common and one of those is the fact that they won a Super High Roller tournament here at the Grand Final. Seidel faced a raise to 4,200 by Altergott in a battle of the blinds and tossed in the extra chips to see a flop of .
No betting action took place before Altergott then bet the turn for 6,500. Seidel called and did so again for 11,900 on the river to muck once Altergott flipped over his for a full house.
Daniel Dvoress raised to 3,600 from the hijack and was called by Ali Reza Fatehi on the button as well as Byron Kaverman in the big blind. On the flop the action was checked to Fatehi and his bet of 4,800 won the pot uncontested.

The Super High Rollers are heading into their first break of the day, 20 minutes to enjoy the sunny weather outside or grab something to eat and drink.
According to the tickets, 31 players have bought into the tournament but one of them has not shown up yet to take his seat. Ole Schemion was the most recent player to enter, increasing the field size to 30 participants right now, and a new table was opened for balancing reasons.
Charlie Carrel raised to 4,000 and Vladimir Troyanovskiy called out of the big blind before check-folding to a continuation bet on the flop.
Shortly after, Carrel raised to 4,000 again and Sean Winter now three-bet to 12,000. "Can I see your stack?" Carrel asked and Winter didn't initially understand. Once the dealer told him, he replied "I cover you" before taking the hands away from his stack and even pointing at it.
Carrel then four-bet to 31,000 and now it was time for Winter to ask for an approximate stack size. He followed that up with a "you got aces?" and Carrel asked back "Have you?" A few further words followed including a "I don't need this intimidation tactic" by the Brit before Winter put him in for less than 140,000 chips, Carrel snap-called.

Dvoress looked confused, but called before the dealer burned and turned over river. Another check from Dvoress and Fatehi grabbed chips of every color before firing in a bet of 38,200. Dvoress looked even more confused and folded.
