: 600/1,200, 100 ante
While Ben Heath is crushing the field in this £10,300 High Roller Day 1, some others are struggling.
Kristen Bicknell has been unable to get going so far and has dropped to 42,000 chips on a table featuring Ludovic Geilich and Dimitry Ubanovic. partypoker ambassador Roberto Romanello only has 32,000 to battle back into contention with, and his fellow ambassador is not being spoiled by overflowing chips, sat behind 62,000.
Sam Trickett is clearly the partypoker ambassador having the most fun so far:

Players Still Joining the Action
Nível 5
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Three further players entered the competition within quick succession to bring the field up to 80 entries, and the tournament is on the best way to not only meet the guarantee of £1m, but create an even bigger prize pool.
Among those to jump in were Aymon Hata, Tobias Ziegler and Dzmitry Urbanovich. While the latter has more than $5m in cashes, Hata's biggest score is less than two weeks old. The Brit finished 5th in the PokerStars Championship Macau Main Event for HK$ 950,000 (approximately $122,236).
