Another Day in Paradise: Day 2 of the Super High Roller
After eight levels of play on Day 1 of the PokerStars Championship Bahamas $100,000 Super High Roller, 34 players of 50 total entries remain. Due to an error late last night, some of the players that busted (Paul Newey and Sergio Aido) were reported to have made it through, while in fact being eliminated.
We focused on the big stories yesterday and will continue to do so today. Have a look at the highlights from Day 1:
- PokerStars' Neil Johnson Explains Rationale Behind Tour Changes
- Swimming Pigs, High Cholesterol Iguanas and a Bunch of Sharks
- Bill Perkins Gives to the People, Stirs Up Prop Action at PokerStars Championship Bahamas
- Kevin Hart Plays $100,000 Super High Roller at PokerStars Championship Bahamas: "I don't need luck! I'm gonna fucking win!"
- Nick Petrangelo Looking for First $100K Win After Bagging Day 1 Lead
Live reporting, with chip counts and a continuously updated blog, is in the hands of our colleagues over on the PokerStars Blog. The event resumes at noon today (in about an hour).
