Jason Mercier Eliminated

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jason Mercier got his chips in the middle from the small blind before the flop holding pocket sevens. Sean Winter was the one he was up against and he had ace-king. A king on the turn ended it for Mercier and he got up and made his exit.

Hajiyev Busts to Petrangelo

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Seated under the gun plus one, Ramin Hajiyev shoved for 80,000. Nick Petrangelo moved over the top from the hijack for a little over 100,000 and all other players folded.

Ramin Hajiyev: {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Nick Petrangelo: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out an uneventful {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Hajiyev hit the rail.

Tollerene Building His Lead

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Ben Tollerene opened to 12,000 from late position, but Vladimir Troyanovsky raised to 42,000. Undeterred, Tollerene moved all-in for well over half a million and got a fold. He's a massive chip leader in the tournament now.

Carrel Re-Enters, Snap Doubles

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Charlie Carrel
Charlie Carrel

Charlie Carrel had barely sat back down in the $50,000 Single Day High Roller before being involved in a massive hand. He was all-in pre-flop and had the best of it with pocket queens against an opponent's {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

The board of {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{7-Clubs} paid off Carrel, who eliminated his opponent and almost doubled his new stack to 192,000.

The Numbers Are In

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

With registration now closed, the numbers are in. A total of 69 entries (of which 35 reentries) were made into the tournament, down 11 compared to last year when the event attracted 80 entries. 35 remain at the moment.

Level: 9

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Ante: 1,000

The remaining 35 players in this $50,000 Single Day High Roller head to the next break here at the PokerStars Championships Bahamas, with Ben Tollerene ahead of the chasing pack, the only player over half a million chips.

Players can still register or re-enter in this break then the field will be locked into a freezeout to the finish!

The remaining entrants will return in 20 minutes time.

McKeehen Doubles Tollerene

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Ben Tollerene
Ben Tollerene

As we arrived, Joe McKeehen had already bet 32,000 on a flop of {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} acting out of the small blind. Ben Tollerene, sitting in the hijack, called in position.

McKeehen bet another 65,000 on the {3-Spades} turn and Tollerene called once more.

The {5-Hearts} completed the board and McKeehen shoved all in. Tollerene did one double take on his cards to make sure he had what he thought he had, and called for 146,400.

McKeehen showed {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} but that hand would end up face down in the muck soon enough as Tollerene tabled {7-Spades}{8-Spades} for the straight.

Negreanu Busts Another

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu (pictured during yesterday's Day 1a) made it 15,000 from the button and his opponent Connor Drinan moved all-in for around 97,000 from the big blind. Negreanu made a very quick call and was a little behind.

Drinan: {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Negreanu: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The flop of {8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{10-Diamonds} set Drinan behind, and he stayed there through the {2-Hearts} turn and {3-Clubs} river.

"I'll try again." he declared upon busting. Players only have one more level to re-enter or register in the first place, so we expect a busy next 30 minutes.
