Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The $50,000 PCA Single Day High Roller was won by New Zealand's David Yan earlier this week. This 6-Max tournament attracted a star-studded High Roller cast, with Yan agreeing a heads-up deal with Orpen Kisacikoglu.
Yan banked $485,690 for this victory, after 14 hours of play, and told PokerNews that his victory was down to running "insane"
“I’m pretty grateful for the experience" Yan told PokerNews after his victory. "When you play such a little amount, it’s just basically anything can happen. Today I just ran insane, the field was one of the tougher ones we’ve seen".
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mauricio Ferreira Pais had the all-in triangle in front of him as he was forced all-in from the big blind. Action folded to Omar Del Pino, in the cutoff, and he made it 25,000. The remaining active players folded to set up the all-in showdown.
Mauricio Ferreira Pais: 
Omar Del Pino: 
Ferreira Pais was in bad shape and would need a miracle following the 
flop. Del Pino then filled up on the 
turn to lock up the hand. The 
river completed the board and confirmed Ferreira Pais as the unfortunate bubble boy.

Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Platinum Pass winner Miguel Posadas was forced all in for 8,000 from the big blind as action folded around to Ori Hasson, who only had to commit 2,000 more but still managed to hem and haw despite the excellent price.
"I don't want to bust you!" he groaned. "But I feel bad for everyone else if I fold."
Hasson called but it still took several minutes for the cards to be flipped. Before they were, Mauricio Ferreira Pais was eliminated on a nearby table to guarantee that Posadas would at least be chopping a min-cash.
Miguel Posadas: 
Ori Hasson: 
The flop landed 
to have Hasson drawing nearly dead, but the 
turn got the table roaring as there was the possibility of a brutal suck-out. But Posadas held for the double as the 
river peeled off and others at the table cheered for his good fortune as they all reached the money.
