The 2017 Mark Roberts Open Continues

At one point or another, Veerab Zakarian has had a big stack in almost every event on the 2017 Seneca Niagara Summer Slam schedule.

So why should the Main Event be any different? It certainly should not.

The Young Wizard raised aces under the gun and after one opponent made it three bets, he slid in a fourth. The call was made and they got it in on a ten-high flop. Turns out Zakarian's foe had kings and after that classic cooler, he's sitting on 70,000.

In the meantime, the room is considering changing the name of the event to the 2017 Mark Roberts Open, as he continues to set a blistering pace and all late entries are starting to feel like a donation to Roberts' mortgage fund.

He's got 135,000 and will take a massive chip lead into the second break of the day.
