Kempe Barrels Against Soverel

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to Sam Soverel who completed from the small blind and called again when Rainer Kempe raised to 15,000. The {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{A-Diamonds} flop saw Soverel check-call another 11,000.

They continued to the {2-Spades} turn where Soverel checked one more time. Kempe took his allotted 30 seconds and fired another shell, making it 35,000. Soverel finally gave up.

Fours for Sontheimer

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

From the cutoff, Steffen Sontheimer raised to 9,000 and Matt Hyman called from the big blind.

The flop landed {Q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Hyman checked to Sontheimer who bet 6,500. Hyman called, and then both players checked the {3-Diamonds} on the turn.

The river landed the {6-Clubs} and Hyman bet out 16,000, and Sontheimer called.

Hyman tabled his {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for ace-high, and Sontheimer revealed his {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} to take one of the first pots of the day.

Welcome to Day 2 of $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl

2018 Super High Roller Bowl
2018 Super High Roller Bowl

Day 1 of one of the biggest poker events of the year is in the books, and it's time for Day 2 of the 2018 $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl. More than half of the field remains in contention as Day 2 dawns with 30 of 48 players still kicking after a 12-hour grind on Day 1.

Some of them are the usual suspects — massive chip leader Daniel Negreanu (1,618,000), Jason Koon (986,000), Steffen Sontheimer (960,500), Stephen Chidwick (888,500), and Bryn Kenney (852,500) adorn the top of the leaderboard, which will be no surprise to many. But Kathy Lehne (801,500) is looking to put some new blood on the list of high roller winners after a strong Day 1.

And, of course, poker fans everywhere will be tuning in to see if the legendary Phil Ivey can make any headway. Ivey has been largely absent from the tournament scene aside from a few select super high roller events in recent years. He had a less than productive Day 1 as he bagged under the starting stack with 254,000. However, the exceptionally slow structure of the Super High Roller Bowl means he still has plenty of play left as play kicks off on Day 2 at 2,000/4,000/3,000 with the big blind ante.

Another long seven-level day — each lasting 90 minutes — is on the docket at the PokerGO studio just outside of ARIA. There will be 10-minute breaks after each level and the tournament will continue to play down with its six-handed format.

Fans can follow the live updates here on PokerNews and head on over to the PokerGO live stream to watch the action. Updates will come as we see them for the first two levels and then synch up with the live stream when that starts at 3 p.m.
