Jour 1 a débuté
Le High Roller PokerStars Championship Bahamas à 25 750$ a débuté dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi à l'Atlantis Resort. Le tournoi a commencé avec deux tables mais avec l'option re-entry et des inscriptions ouvertes toute la journée, le field est monté à 115 joueurs à l'issue des 10 niveaux d'une heure. Avec 36 re-entries, le compteur des inscriptions indique 151 entrants alors qu'il est possible de s'enregistrer jusqu'à l'entame du Jour 2.
Sixième de ce tournoi à 25 750$ l'entrée lors du PCA 2015, Nick Petrangelo a terminé la journée en tête et emballé 290 600 jetons. Sur ses talons, on retrouve Sam Greenwood (276,800), Byron Kaverman (272,000), Oleksii Khoroshenin (264,000) ou encore l'Espagnol Sergio Aido (250,700).
Davidi Kitai (189,000), le triple champion NFL Richard Seymour (165,000), Jason Koon (165,000), Mark Radoja (150,000) et Stephen Chidwick (145,000) complètent le Top 10 provisoire.
Du haut de ses 6 millions de dollars de gains, Petrangelo est donc loin d'avoir gagné... d'autant plus que les Daniel Colman (100,400), Bryn Kenney (66,8000), Phil Laak (54,900), Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier (140,300), Daniel Negreanu (104,600), Liv Boeree (43,000), Andre Akkari (40,600) ou encore Jake Cody (32,800) sont toujours là.
Ca s'est moins bien déroulé pour le finaliste WSOP Main Event, Sylvain Loosli qui n'a pas emballé de jetons après avoir été éliminé deux fois. Joe McKeehen, Charlie Carrel, Chance Kornuth et Sean Winter ont aussi utulisé leur re-entry et ne pourront donc pas revenir pour le Jour 2.
Un Jour 2 qui débute à 18 heures sur les blindes 1000-2000 (300) et sera à suivre en direct sur PokerNews.

Igor Kurganov had been eliminated, that was the headline. All-in with against Tim Adams' and no luck on the board. Goodnight, Igor. Except for Kurganov, whose girlfriend Liv Boeree claimed "hasn't stopped talking for six days!", a few more words were called for. Words such as 'Where can I buy back in?'.
Kurganov's second entry came with the clock paused just seconds later, and six more hands announced. On the fourth of those hands, poker pandemonium broke out.
Kurganov was sat to the direct right of good friend Mustapha Kanit, who had plenty of chips, around 70,000 and easily enough to bust his pal. When Kurganov moved all-in with and Kanit called with , the pair of them were up and down like a pair of puppets. They were racing not just for a 97,000 pot, but bragging rights too.
The flop of saw Kurganov on his feet, with an 'Eh!' to his friend Kanit. However, the on the turn sent Kanit into raptures.
"Eh!" he cried jubilantly. Kurganov covered his friends eyes from the river card.....of the !
"Ehhhh!" yelled Kurganov, as his hand improved to a full house. He flipped Kanit's cap from his friends head and wore it triumphantly like a crown.
"I deserve to wear this now. You are a loser. Mathematically, you've only had one buy-in yes? - OK - Mathematically, you should shove any two next hand."
As it happened, Kanit did so, piling his remaining 17,500 into the middle and being snap-called by Anthony Zinno. Zinno had , but Kanit was racing again, holding the almost-identical-to-his-last-hand .
The flop of offered little hope. The turn of didn't improve the actual odds dramatically. But the on the river gave Kanit a runner-runner straight and he jumped back up, took back his hat and cried 'Who's the boss? Who's the boss?!"
To be fair to Kurganov and Kanit, and with deference to the everlasting good humour of Zinno, all of it happened with riotous sense of good humour and the trio were all happy to progress to the next day. Kurganov, Kanit, Zinno and of course Boeree and other friends by now on the rail who were watching the drama unfold all burst into peals of laughter at the conclusion the two hilarious hands of poker.

Both PokerStars Team Pros Jake Cody and Liv Boeree have struggled at points during this $25,000 High Roller, with the run of the cards more than anything. But there's building momentum behind each British superstar and with one level to go anything could happen.
Jake Cody doubled up when he had pocket queens in the blinds and doubled up, holding against to bounce from ten big blinds to just over 20 big blinds.
Liv Boeree wasn't all-in, but won an interesting hand against Justin Bonomo. Boeree raised under the gun pre-flop to 2,600 and only Bonomo called from the big blind. The flop of saw Boeree continue for 2,200, but she was raised to 7,000 by Bonomo. Boeree called, and both players checked the turn. The river of saw Bonomo check to Boeree who made it 8,000 and Bonomo folded, meaning Boeree won without a showdown - valuable currency in mystery to add to the chips at this stage of the night.

Bryn Kenney and Pierre Neuville each put in 6,600 preflop and saw a flop of , which they both checked. After the dealer burned and turned the , Neuville check-called a bet of 10,200 and then checked for a third time on the river.
Kenney bet 20,000, leaving himself just 29,000 behind, and Neuville snap-raised all in for right around 50,000. Kenney seemed frustrated, shook his head, and folded his cards.
