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:
Playing the £10k high roller ,84 entries and counting.Its going to be a juicy 1st prize #@partypoker
Javier Gomez opened to 2,000 from under the gun and Andreas Olympios called. Conor Beresford 3-bet to 7,700 on the button and Gomez called, but Olympios pumped it up to 20,000 pre-flop and that was enough to scare both his opponents off and bully his way back up to almost starting stack.
Elsewhere, Niall Farrell tweeted about his progress so far as that was the last hand before the break across all tables.
