Fedor Holz (seat 8) has just taken his seat. He's sharing a table with Antonio Esfandiari (seat 1), Scott Seiver (seat 2), Jonathan Jaffe (seat 5), and Ben Sulsky (seat 7). Holz won this event last year for $4,981,775 after having finished runner-up in the Super High Roller Bowl for $3.5 million earlier that summer.
This year, Holz didn't make it into the money in the Super High Roller Bowl but the "retiree" has already scored two other trophies this summer. He took down back-to-back $50,000 tournaments in the Aria for $330,660 and $417,600, respectively.

As one of the first hands in the biggest tournament got underway, the audio alarm system in the Brasilia Room went off. The fire alarm, with flashing lights and an automated voice alerting everyone, didn't prompt anyone to get up and leave. In fact, everyone just played on while the alarm continued to sound.
Playing just three-handed, Ben Sulsky opened for 5,500 under the gun. Antonio Esfandiari three-bet the button to 15,000. The big blind folded and Sulsky contemplated what to do for a bit.
"If we're gonna get blown up, we might as well gamble! Right, Antonio?" Sulsky said.
Esfandiari smiled and Sulsky called.
Sulsky check-called 12,000 on 
and 23,000 on the 
turn. The river 
saw both players check and Sulsky took it down, showing 
as Esfandiari mucked.
