The High Rollers Continue to Roll In

LisaY

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Isaac Haxton and Charlie Carrel are the two latest high rollers to get involved.

Haxton has amassed more than $24 million in tournament cashes and is 13th on the all-time money list. The pro has already chipped up somewhat after three-betting all in from the small blind versus a cutoff open.

Carrel has already had an incredible run at the festival, with three high roller final table cashes out of three already in the bag. Those results have pushed him over the $7 million in live tournament earnings, which is worthy of 5th place on England's all-time money list.

Fast's Kings Don't Hold

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

First to act, Kalidou Sow made it 2,200 to go and the action folded around to Dietrich Fast in the small blind. The German moved all in for 22,100 and Jonathan Proudfoot in the big blind seemed interested, but folded. Sow carefully counted his stack, which happened to be just shy of 70,000, and ultimately made the call.

Dietrich Fast:
Kalidou Sow:

The flop improved Sow to a pair of aces, and Fast found no help on the turn and river.

LisaY

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Tamer Kamel kicked things off with an open to 2,100 in middle position and was called by Victoria Coren Mitchell and Jason Wheeler behind, as well as both the blinds.

Five handed to the flop, the dealer laid down and everyone checked. The turn saw the betting start up again. The blinds checked again and Kamel bet 3,700. Coren Mitchell folded, as did Wheeler before Gabriel Chiva upped it to 15,000. The player in the big blind moved aside and after Kamel called, Wheeler also passed.

LisaY

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In the last hand of the penultimate level, Mikita Badziakouski opened to 2,100 in early position and was three-bet to 5,600 by Victor Katzenburger. Everyone one else got out of the way and Badziakouski called, taking them heads up to the flop.

The flop fell and Badziakouski decided to lead, making it 4,500 to play. Katzenburger called and there was a on the turn. Badziakouski bet again, this time 10,000 and Katzenburger tank-called. The river paired the bottom card and Badziakouski checked. When Katzenburger bet 18,000, Badziakouski decided fold was the best option.
