Stephen Chidwick won a big confrontation preflop to give himself the chip lead in this $25,000 High Roller.
After Chidwick opened to 850 in early position, Fabrizio Gonzalez raised, only to see Jaffe re-raise to 8600. Chidiwck wasn't put off, however, and re-raised all-in for a covering stack. Everyone folded and Chidwich is just shy of a six-figure stack.
Keith Lehr and David Laka Calzada were both eliminated from the tournament. Meanwhile, Nick Petrangelo has re-entered and a slew of new players have jumped into action.
Orpen Kisacikoglu got his stack of 13,000 all in preflop and found himself at risk and behind Stephen Chidwick.
Chidwick: 
Kisacikoglu: 
Kisacikoglu was in desperate need of an eight, but he was left wanting as the board ran out 
.
"Good luck," Kisacikoglu offered before exiting the tournament floor.
Level: 4
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 50
Action folded to Sergio Aido on the button and he raised to 1,000, which Luc Greenwood called from the small blind. Eugene Katchalov then three-bet to 3,200 from the big, Aido four-bet to 7,800, and Greenwood ditched his hand.
Katchalov called and then action went check-check on both the 
flop and 
turn. When the 
completed the board on the river, Katchalov bet 6,200 and Aido released.
Keith Lehr has dropped a big chunk of chips to Steve O'Dwyer here in Level 3 of the $25,000 High Roller.
On a board of 
, O'Dwyer bet 13,000 into a pot of a little less and Lehr wasn't sure what to do.
"I'm going to look really silly calling you without a pair here."
There was no reaction from O'Dwyer, but Lehr made the call and O'Dwyer then turned over 
for the flopped set.
"Everyone flops a set. I maybe be gone by 3.00pm, guys." Lehr moaned to his rail. He is a little shoirt-stacked now, but O'Dwyer isn't - he moves to second in chips.

Jason Koon put the pressure on Ben Tollerene (pictured) at their table after a board of 
had been dealt.
Koon bet 16,000 with a pot of 9,600 already in the middle. Tollerene took two or three minutes, but eventually made the call. Koon turned over 
, but Tollerene's was good enough for a turned full house and he leapt up to well above the average. Koon, who won the $100,000 Super High Roller here earlier in the week, is now a little short-stacked, but with a good structure, has plenty of time to work his way back up the leaderboard.
After the under-the-gun player raised to 900 and Aliaksei Boika called from middle position, Isaac Haxton called from the cutoff. When action reached 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Joe McKeehen in the big blind, he three-bet all in for 8,175.
The original raiser folded, Boika called, and Haxton got out of the way.
Boika: 
McKeehen: 
McKeehen was looking to hold, but that didn't happen as the board ran out 
to give Boika trips and the win.
McKeehen was eliminated on the hand, but made his way to the registration desk to immediately re-enter.
