[Removed:565] Swinging Big

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

[Removed:564] is rocking a stack worth 170,000, which makes him the presumable chipleader at the moment. [Removed:565] already cashed the Main Event earlier this week, where he finished 162nd for €10,270.

Lucky Double for Chouity

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

Nicolas Chouity opened for 1,500 early and got calls from Anthony Zinno and the small blind before the player in the big blind repopped it to 7,200. Chouity shoved all in for just over 30,000. The squeezed players mucked, but the big blind called immediately with {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}.

That dominated the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} shown down by Chouity, but the {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} board delivered a set for him to double.

D'Auteuil Counterfeited; Busts A Second Time

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

Earlier today, Philippe D'Auteuil's PokerStars Championship Barcelona Main Event run came to an end after four days. The Canadian finished in 55th place, resulting in a payday of €22,680.

D'Auteuil parlayed nearly half of that amount to play in the High Roller but found himself on the rail again shortly after. It was a rather brutal beat that did D'Auteuil in.

Holding {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, the Canadian got it in on a {5-Clubs}{J-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades} turn for 47,000 total. Joaquin Walter gave it some thought before making the call with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, putting D'Auteuil in a fantastic spot to double big. However, the {J-Diamonds} on the river counterfeited D'Auteuil's two pair. Walter slammed the table in excitement, while D'Auteuil busted for the second time this day.

Czuczor Barrels Off a Bunch

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Marton Czuczor was in the small blind and bet 3,000, about the size of the pot after a {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop. Czuczor kept up the high level of aggression with 9,000 on the {j-Diamonds} turn. Both players checked the {5-Hearts} river, and Czuczor couldn't beat {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

Loeliger Looks Strong Early

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Linus "LLinusLLove" Loeliger, profiled by PokerNews here, is among the early leaders in the High Roller.

Mateos Stacking Heaps

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

The community had come {8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} at Adrian Mateos' table, and a player under the gun bet 3,500. Mateos called on the button, and Norbert Szecsi tank-folded in the big blind. The first player opened {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for trips, rendering Mateos' own {j-Hearts} useless. However, the {10-Hearts} he had with it made a straight, and he collected the pot.

The Spanish tournament star has well over two starting stacks already, and his super aggressive style means that's bad news for his foes.

Baumgarten On The River

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Three players saw an {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop together. Akin Tuna and Frank Williams checked to Joao Baumgarten, who bet 2,000. Both players came along with the call. All players then checked the {A-Spades} on the turn.

Tuna checked the {9-Spades} on the river to Williams, who bet 8,500. However, Baumgarten had something planned as he came up with a raise to 22,000. Tuna shrugged and folded, while Williams committed the call.

Baumgarten showed {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} for a rivered straight, enough to take it down as Williams got rid of his hand.
