Kings for Duhamel
Level 12
: 15,000/35,000, 35,000 ante
The dealer fanned a flop of 
and the big blind checked to Jonathan Duhamel who bet 80,000 from under the gun. The big blind check-raised to 255,000 and Duhamel shoved all in. His opponent quickly called off his stack of around 1,000,000 and the cards were on their backs.
Duhamel flipped over 
and his opponent in trouble with 
. The turn was the 
and the 
on the river changed nothing as Duhamel held on to eliminate his opponent. It's been an all-in party at most of the tables as players are looking to get their chips in the middle as quickly as possible for the late registration period closes after this level.
Simon Higgins has emerged as the current chip leader but there are plenty of big names near the top of the leaderboard as well. Justin Bonomo, Sylvain Loosli, Steve O'Dwyer, and Benjamin Pollak all have a healthy amount of chips in front of them.

Who Can Bet Last?
Level 13
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Late registration has officially closed in the $10,000 High Roller and the total number of entries on the tournament clock reads 196. That will nearly double the $1 million guaranteed prizepool but the payouts are still being finalized.
The action has not slowed down since the re-entry period ended, and Simon Higgins has continued to build a stack. The action folded to Higgins in the small blind who just opted to limp in. Joao Vieira raised to 150,000 and Higgins countered with a three-bet to 550,000. Vieira stuck in a four-bet to 1,015,000 and Higgins just called.
The flop came 
and Higgins announced all in which quickly prompted Vieira to fold his cards with under 2,000,000 chips in front of him.
