$300,000 Super High Roller Bowl
Jour 1 terminé
Le Super High Roller Bowl à 300 000$ l'entrée a débuté dans la nuit de dimanche à lundi à l'Aria. Ils étaient 49 à avoir déboursé une tonne sur la ligne de départ et ils ne sont plus que 35 à l'issue de la première journée de compétition.
La compétition avait débuté à 13 heures, heure locale, et il n'a pas fallu longtemps pour tenir la première victime : Antonio Esfandiari. Le Magicien ne prendra pas un dollar du prizepool de 15 millions constitué par les participants après avoir lâché une grosse partie de son tapis contre Jason Mercier. C'est le tenant du titre, Brian Rast, qui a terminé le travail. Esfandiari a sauté en moins de 75 minutes de ce tournoi sans rake !
Igo Kurganov a lui tenté de payer avec top paire et s'est fracassé contre le Full House de Dan Smith durant le 2e niveau. Le copain de Liv Boeree n'a donc pas vu le Jour 2... tout comme Isaac Haxton, Christoph Vogelsang, David Einhorn, Brandon Steven et le runner-up de 2015, Scott Seiver.
Vainqueur du Main Event SCOOP, Talal Shakerchi a mis un peu plus de temps à sauter mais le verdict reste le même. Haralabos Voulgaris, le businessman John Morgan ainsi que Connor Drinan, Jason Les ou encore Sam Soverel ont aussi rejoint le rail en deuxième partie de journée.
Jason Mercier et Doug Polk se sont fait la guerre sur Twitter il ya quelques jours et ils étaient voisins pendant une très large partie de cette journée d'ouverture. Jason Mercier a monté des jetons alors que Polk a fini la journée en short avant d'être déplacé. Comme prévu, les deux joueurs n'en sont pas venus aux mains !
Belle journée aussi pour le vainqueur du Big One For One Drop 2014, Daniel Colman, et son dauphin, Daniel Negreanu. Ce duo n'a tout de même pas réussi à entraver la marche en avant du Russe, Timofey "Trueteller" Kuznetsov qui s'était classé 4e de ce même tournoi l'an passé. Kuznetsov a aussi remporté 748 446$ il y a quelques jours ici même à l'Aria en remportant un High Roller à 50000$ !
Le spécialiste du online a emballé 1 129 500 jetons, un total qui lui permet de s'installer en tête de la compétition alors que le Jour 2 reprendra dans la soirée de lundi pour sept niveaux de poker.
Le coverage est à suivre en direct sur PokerNews.
