The $2,200 High Roller has hit the $50,000 guarantee that was set, just halfway through the first level of play here on Day 1.
Neil Blumenfield and his opponent were at the river on a board that read .
Both players checked after a moment and Blumenfield turned over which was good enough to best the ace high of his opponent to take in the modest pot.
