After the first two levels of play, 20 entries have been made into the €100,000 Super High Roller. 19 of them are unique, which means one unfortunate soul had to dig deep into his wallet to buy himself back into the event. It was Isaac Haxton who had to make the cashier trip to get a fresh stack of 250,000 in chips.

Haxton got clipped by Ali Reza Fatehi in the first level of the day, running kings into aces to leave himself with a mere 17,000. Those remaining chips went in shortly after on a {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop, with Haxton holding {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Steve O'Dwyer looked his countryman up with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and after blanks on turn and river, Haxton was left empty-handed. As expected, Fatehi, the businessman from Iran who lives in Dubai is the early chipleader in this event.
