Martin Jacobson Leads The Way After Day 1
Event #6: High Roller for One Drop - $111,111 No-Limit Hold'em drew 119 entries on Day 1. After eight levels of play, 79 players remain and 2014 Main Event champion Martin Jacobson leads the way into Day 2 with 1,677,000, followed by Charlie Carrel with 1,624,000 and Doug Polk with 1,522,000.
The day saw many faces claim the top spot of the leaderboard, the first being Ari Engel. In the early to mid stages of the day, Engel won several sizable pots against Chris Johnson before making Johnson the first elimination of the day. Several more players started to fall afterward, mainly by the hands of Leon Tsoukernik who spent about two levels leading the pack. Tsoukernik soon gave way to others as Rainer Kempe, Doug Polk and Dietrich Fast each spent time as chip leader. However, it was a late surge from Jacobson that put him in pole position for Day 2.
Several past One Drop champions took to the felt today and enjoyed mixed results. Big One for One Drop champions Antonio Esfandiari (905,000) and Dan Colman (377,000) survived, while past One Drop High Roller champions Fedor Holz and Anthony Gregg were among those who did not make it to Day 2.
Registration will remain open for the first two levels on Saturday and should close around 4:20 pm. Play resumes at 2:00 and the schedule for the day calls for another eight levels.
