Isaac Haxton raised to 45,000 from middle position and was called by John Hennigan on the button and Kristen Foxen in the big blind.

The trio all checked the 9♣4♦2♠ board and Foxen would check-fold to a 120,000 chip bet from Haxton on the A♠ turn. Hennigan made the call and the dealer put out the 2♥ on the river.

This time Haxton sized up in the form of 560,000, but was snap called by Hennigan, who tabled A♣K♦ for two pair, aces and deuces.

Haxton showed K♥5♥ for a missed straight draw.

Chance Kornuth raised it up in early position and was called by Chris Hunichen in the cutoff and Phil Ivey on the button. The flop came 7♦6♠2♦ and Kornuth continued with a bet of 45,000 which both of his opponents called.

The 7♣ paired the board on the turn and the action checked around to the A♠ on the river. Kornuth put together a bet of 285,000 and Hunichen quickly called while Ivey sent his cards to the muck. Kornuth turned over 8♥7♥ for trip sevens and Hunichen conceded the pot.

Kabrhel Jumps Right Into the Action in Back-to-Back Hands

Level 6 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel wasted no time getting in on the action with a raise to 42,000 from middle position in the first hand after joining his new table from the late registration booth and was promptly three-bet by the player to his immediate left, Alex Foxen, to 115,000.

Kabrhel made the call and check-folded to a bet from Foxen for 90,000 on a Q♣3♥9♠ flop.

In the very next hand, Kabrhel this time raised to 43,000, as "42,000 isn't working for me," he said, and was called by Artur Martirosian on the button. Both players would check the 3♠A♦9♥ flop and Kabrhel would delay continuation bet the 10♠ turn.

Martirosian made the call, but would fold to the proclaimed, "value bet" of 44,000 from Kabrhel on the A♥ river.

Level 6 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Kristen Foxen is continuing to run up a stack on Day 1 of the Super High Roller on the heels of eliminating Aleksejs Ponakovs for the second time today.

Shortly after, the action folded to Brandon Steven in the small blind who just limped in. Foxen checked her option and the dealer spread the flop of A♥8♦6♣. Steven led out with a bet of 27,000 and Foxen raised to 80,000. Steven mulled it over but opted to fold, sending another pot to Foxen.

Action folded around to Sean Winter in middle position, who moved all in for his remaining 219,000 chips and was called by Steven Veneziano in late position.

Sean Winter: 4♥4♦
Steven Veneziano: 5♠5♦

Needing a four, the final runout of 9♣7♠6♥K♠2♥ did not provide any additional help to Winter, sending him to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with Espen Jorstad and Sean Winter heads-up in a pot of around 750,000. The board read 8♦7♥4♣8♣ and Jorstad was first to act and checked. Winter threw in a bet of 300,000 and Jorstad called.

The river was the Q♦ and Jorstad checked again. Winter pushed out a bet of 900,000 and Jorstad hesitated for a brief moment before calling off his stack of 759,000.

"Aces?" Winter questioned as he tabled 10♦9♦ for a missed straight draw. Jorstad turned over A♣Q♣ for a rivered pair and was awarded a double-up.

The board was dealt out in a hand between Alex Kulev and Alex Foxen, reading Q♥10♥4♠3♦4♥, and Foxen was in the tank after Kulev moved all-in for a little over a million chips.

Foxen would blow through four time banks before ultimately deciding to make the fold.

The action folded around to Nick Petrangelo in the small blind who made it 60,000 to go. David Peters reraised to 140,000 in the big blind and Petrangelo called.

The flop came A♣7♣2♠ and both players checked to the 6♣ on the turn. Petrangelo led out with a bet of 75,000 and Peters called to see the 5♣ on the river. Both players tapped the table and Petrangelo showed A♠8♥ for top pair, good enough to win the pot.
