Noah Schwartz Finds a Huge Double Up

Level 5 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After a raise to 25,000 from middle position, Ioannis Angelou-Konstas three-bet to 75,000 just one seat over. Noah Schwartz was in the big blind and stuck in a three-bet to 218,000. The initial raiser got out of the way but Angelou-Konstas wanted to see a flop.

The dealer fanned the flop of {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Schwartz led out for 183,000. Angelou-Konstas still called and the {q-Hearts} landed on the turn. Both players took a minute to think before knuckling the table and the {8-Diamonds} completed the board.

Schwartz announced that he was all in for 825,000 and Angelou-Konstas asked for a count. About 30 seconds later, he called and the cards were tabled. Schwartz turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} while Angelou-Konstas showed {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. It was surprising to not see all of the chips get in the middle a little sooner but they eventually did and Schwartz earned himself a double up.

Movers and Shakers

Level 5 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The rapid influx of entries has somewhat slowed down with a total of 169 entries at the start of level five. There are 144 players remaining and the chips are slowly being juggled around. One player who continued to be on the rise is Ali Imsirovic who is the only player in the field that is over the 3,000,000 chip mark.

Some of the latest entries include Martin Jacobson and Upeshka De Silva while Thomas Muehloecker and Michael Sklenicka have re-entered the field.

Tsoukernik Doubles Up with Rags

Level 4 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Eduards Kudrjavcevs opened to 20,000 in middle position and was called by Leon Tsoukernik on the button and the small blind. Michael Sklenicka three-bet to 125,000 from the big blind and all three players called.

"If I hit something, I'm going all in," Tsoukernik exclaimed with only 227,000 behind. The flop fell {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} and the action checked to Tsoukernik who kept his word and moved all in. The small blind folded and Sklenick also quickly shoved all in for 919,000. Kudrjavcevs asked for a count and then called after a minute.

Leon Tsoukernik: {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Eduards Kudrjavcevs: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Michael Sklenicka: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

"I've already won! Ship it here!" Tsoukernik shouted, still needing to complete his straight to have a hope. The dealer burned and turned the {6-Hearts} and Tsoukernik did indeed make a straight. The {2-Clubs} on the river changed nothing and Tsoukernik scored himself a full triple up.

Kudrjavcevs, meanwhile, took down the larger side pot and Sklenicka was eliminated.

Zajmovic on Fire

Level 4 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ema Zajmovic
Ema Zajmovic

Ema Zajmovic just recently recorded her biggest live tournament score at the partypoker WPT Main Event in Montreal, Canada. Zajmovic finished in second place after running a triple-barrel bluff in a hand that went viral to finish the tournament. Zajmovic has never backed down from a challenge and here she is playing in her first $25,000 high roller event. The spotlight doesn't seem to face the Canadian as she is already closing in on the 2,000,000 chip mark early on in Day 1b.

The field has continued to grow through the first half of the day with the total number of entries reaching 147 thus far. Some other big names to join include Patrik Antonius, Stefan Schillhabel, Toby Lewis, Martin Kabrhel, and Michael Addamo.

Imsirovic is the Early Leader

Level 3 : 3,000/7,000, 7,000 ante
Ali Imsirovic
Ali Imsirovic

Ali Imsirovic is recently coming off a Poker Masters title in September and appears to be carrying much of his confidence into the early going of the Caribbean Poker Party. Imsirovic was one of the first players to take a seat in the $25,500 MILLIONS World today and has accumulated over 2,200,000 in chips coming back from the first break of the day, good enough for the early chip lead.

Just a couple of months ago, Imsirovic broke through into the live poker scene with a spectacular showing at the Poker Masters in Las Vegas. He appeared at three final tables in the prestigious high roller series and managed to win two of them. In the $25,000 event, Imsirovic pocketed himself $462,000 for the win and just one day later he took down the $50,000 event for $799,000. That proved to be his largest scored to date and has helped move him over $2.5 million in career earnings.

Imsirovic conquered some of the greatest poker players in the world then and is looking to do the same now in what is shaping up to be one of the greatest $25,000 Super High Roller events ever.

Over 100 Entries at the First Break

Level 2 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Another level has passed and the players are about to head on their first 15-minute break of the day. The field has grown to over 100 entries thus far with 106 in total and 104 players remaining. Some of the latest notables to take a seat include Matt Berkey, Seth Davies, Rainer Kempe, Alex Foxen, Mustapha Kanit, and Mike Leah.

Only two players have seen their luck turned upside down thus far but with late registration open throughout the entire day, there is still plenty of opportunities to re-enter. When the players return to their seats, the blinds will increase to 3,000/7,000 with a 7,000 button ante.
