Day 2 of the High Roller Will Resume at 2pm
Yesterday 79 players took to the felt in the first EPT Sochi High Roller. Of those, 33 made it through but with late registration open until the start of Level 2, there will most likely be some latecomers to add to that number.
It all kicks off at 2 pm with levels increasing to 60 minutes for Day 2. Players return to Level 11, with blinds at 1000/2500 and a big bind ante of 2500. It has not been decided yet when the tournament will finish for the day, but it will most likely play down to the final table. Full details will be posted here just as soon as we have them.
Likewise, the prizepool information will only be available after the late registration/re-entry period has closed. What we can tell you is that it is a close call between those at the top. Sergey Kolyasnikov finished in the top spot but there is very little in between the top four. Add to that a field packed with players with plenty experience and today is sure to be an interesting one to watch unfold.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for live updates from the moment cards are in the air until the last chip has been bagged.

Kiselev Surpasses 300,000 Chips
Level 11
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Daniil Kiselev started the day second in chips but has already nabbed the top spot after eliminating Radik Lyapin. It began with an open from Kiselev and Lyapin defended from the big blind.
On the 
flop, Lyapin chose to lead for 7,000 and Kiselev called. The turn was the 
and Lyapin bet another 10,000 into the pot. Kiselev upped it, setting his opponent all in and Lyapin called.
Daniil Kiselev: 
Radik Lyapin: 
It was a club flush draw vs a spade flush draw but Kiselev had the high card to go with it, making him the big favourite. The river was the 
and secured the pot for Kiselev, whilst Lyapin hit the rail.

Barausova Out
Level 11
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
One of the two women in the field, Tatyana Barausova, has busted. Barausova began as the shortest stacked player, beginning with just 10 big blinds and was eliminated by late registrant Vanush Mnatsakanyan just now. Wengling Gao is now the only female player still in the running.

Eltsov Out
Level 11
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The action folded to Oleg Eltsov on the button and, down to just 14,000, he moved all in. Both Maksim Bukreev and Vanush Mnatsakanyan called in the small and big blinds respectively.
The 
flop went check-check, as did the 
turn. On the 
river, Bukreev bet 34,000, which got Mnatsakanyan to pass and they turned their cards over.
Maksim Bukreev: 
Oleg Eltsov: 
Bukreev had the better kicker to accompany his high card ace and Eltsov is out.

Timofeev Eliminated by Karmatskiy
Level 11
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Less than 45 minutes into the first level today and the steady run of eliminations continues. We have just lost another player after Denis Timofeev ran 
into Arseniy Karmatskiy's 
.
The 
board couldn't help Timofeev and Karmatskiy told him "good game" as he got up to leave. Karmatskiy is up to almost 100 big blinds after that hand.

Gao Doubles Through Kalinin
Level 11
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Wenling Gao has just found a much-needed double against Nikita Kalinin. Gao got all her chips in with 
on a flop and hit a flush on the turn, to secure the pot. The 
river made no difference and she is on the rise, whilst Kalinin is left short.
