Double Elimination for Ivarsson

Out of the corner of our eye on Patrick Leonard's table, we saw a three-way all in between Aliaksei Boika, Alexander Ivarsson and Niklas Astedt.

Aliaksei Boika: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Alexander Ivarsson: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Niklas Astedt: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}

It appeared that the money went in on a {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop, although there is no way to confirm this, with Boika holding a flush draw against the two pocket pairs.

The {2-Spades} turn and {8-Hearts} river changed nothing and Ivarsson eliminated two players, moving up to second in chips behind fellow Swede Simon Mattsson.

There have been two $25k Super High Rollers as part of the Powerfest schedule.

Christoph Vogelsang, who currently sits behind only Fedor Holz on the German all-time money list, took down the Powerfest #19: $25,500 Super High Roller for just shy of $500,000.

Meanwhile Joakim Andersson triumphed just one week ago in another SHR at a final table featuring big names such as Ole Schemion and Andras Nemeth. Andersson came out on top after battling against the aggressive Markus Leikkoner who would have to settle for second place.

How Things Stand

After two hours, here's how things stand with the partypoker Sunday LIVE updates right here on PokerNews

  • Billy Irvine is back in the lead of The High Roller Big Game. There are currently 39/65 players remaining and late registration is open for another 30 minutes.
  • Brazil's Matheus Almeida is the runaway chip leader in The Big Game. He's almost two million chips clear of Josip Simunic in second place. There's also 30 minutes of late registration left in this one.
  • The $10,300 Super High Roller has kicked off with 12 players. Late registration is open for another four hours so there's plenty of time for the field to grow in that one.
