Nick Petrangelo Looking for First $100K Win After Bagging Day 1 Lead

Nick Petrangelo raced ahead of his high-rolling rivals, turning 250,000 into 861,000 and the chip lead at the conclusion of Day 1 of the $100,000 Super High Roller at PokerStars Championship Bahamas.

Hot on Petrangelo's heels is Steve O'Dwyer, who has been among the most successful players on the high roller circuit in recent years. He ended with 801,000. Daniel Dvoress (720,000), Connor Drinan (639,000) and Jason Koon (624,000) round out the top five.

One of the biggest hands Petrangelo played came at the expense of Christoph Vogelsang late in the day. In the last level, with the big blind at 5,000, Petrangelo opened early for 12,000 and got action from Vogelsang in the big blind. On a board that ran out {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Vogelsang check-called three barrels, the last for 91,000, and got shown two eights for top full house by Petrangelo.

Petrangelo has posted good finishes in $100K's before. He finished second in a World Poker Tour Alpha 8 event in 2015 for just over $1 million and seventh in the $111,111 One Drop last year for $628,679 but has yet to grab his first win. With 36 players bagging chips and 50 total entries logged — 11 were reentries — there's still a long road ahead for Petrangelo.

Other players making it through included PokerStars Team Pros Jason Mercier and Daniel Negreanu, as well as 2015 WSOP champion Joe McKeehen, 2016 GPI player of the year David Peters, and EPT Grand Final High Roller champions Charlie Carrel and Mustapha Kanit.

Popular American actor Kevin Hart also made it through to Day 2. The popular comedy star kept up a running banter with his tablemates all day but did wind up needing a reentry after he was down to 16 big blinds and check-shoved an eight-eight-nine flop with pocket fives only to see Koon turn over jacks. No five appeared for Hart but he bought straight back in. He ended up losing about half of his second starting stack as he ended with 130,000.

Anthony Zinno, Timothy Adams, Erik Seidel, Isaac Haxton and Bill Perkins were a few of the players who went bust on Day 1. The latter three reentered and bagged, and everyone still has the option to buy a stack until the start of Day 2. For live coverage on Saturday, head on over to the PokerStars Blog, while PokerNews will continue to bring feature coverage right here.

Here's who'll return for Day 2. Blinds will be 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000-ante.

Kevin Hart Plays $100,000 Super High Roller at PokerStars Championship Bahamas: "I don't need luck! I'm gonna fucking win!"

The inaugural PokerStars Championship Bahamas kicked off today with the $100,000 Super High Roller. Just about all of the usual suspects showed up; Daniel Negreanu, Steve O'Dwyer, Adrian Mateos, Nick Petrangelo and Ivan Luca were just some of the familiar faces we expected and who sat down early on.

And while a lot of railbirds were star struck by their poker idols so close by, it was a different player getting the most attention all day. None other than actor and stand-up comedian Kevin Hart sat down, and jaws dropped.

Sometimes, mainstream celebrities try to blend in when they play a poker tournament and just keep to themselves. Sometimes, they wear sunglasses and tuck their heads away in hoodies to not attract too much attention. Not Hart though, he was as loud as you'd expect him to be if you're familiar with his stand-up shows and movies.

"I had a good time but I was card dead all day"

"Are you prepared to go eight rebuys today?" shouted Hart across the room to Bill Perkins at a neighboring table when play was just five minutes underway. "Depends!" Perkins responded with a smile. Tablemate Jason Koon told the story of once firing three bullets, prompting Hart to admit he was willing to do 22 buy-ins if needed. "Yeah, $2.2 million!" All Koon could say was "That'd be a big boost to the prize pool,", according to the PokerStars Blog who were there to write down the specifics of the interaction.

If that was Hart's first big bluff of the day or if he really was willing to go that deep, we'll probably never know. But the question if he could afford to do so, is one that can be answered positively with relativele certainty. He ranked number six on Forbes' 2016 World's Highest-Paid Celebrities Top 100 List with $87.5 million in earnings. The site credited Hart for having changed the economy of the funny business:

"Comedian Kevin Hart is the biggest year-over-year gainer, more than tripling his 2015 earnings from $28.5 million to $87.5 million. His secret? Touring like a rock star. He performed over 100 shows at stadiums and arenas around the world during our scoring period, grossing over $1 million on average per gig. This makes him not only the highest-paid comedian on our list, but also the first jokester ever to make more money than Jerry Seinfeld, whose earnings clock in at $36 million this year."

At the end of the day, Hart wasn't in for $2.2 million, but he hadn't escaped the eight levels of play totally unscathed either. "I can say I lasted till about 35 minutes left on Day 1. And then I rebought." Hart told PokerNews at the end of play. He had gotten short and had made a move with pocket fives in a blind battle against high roller regular Jason Koon. The latter called with jacks and send Hart to the rail, a position he wouldn't stay long as he headed for the cage right away and put another $100,000 on the counter to give himself another shot at eternal poker glory.

Even though he had to buy back in to bag chips, he wasn't at all disappointed. "I'm happy with making it that far," Hart told us after play wrapped up. "I had a good time but I was card dead all day. It wasn't like I had a run of cards, so hopefully I can run into a string of cards tomorrow and match it with some good play. If that's the case, things will go better."

While it cost him $200,000 total so far, Hart was satisfied with things; "The fact that I'm in Day 2, I'm happy about. I'm ok." Hart was happy with his performance, despite busting once: "Just being able to compete, being amongst them and being here all day, I take that as a pad on the back for myself."

Hart certainly showed his excitement and was the life of the party all day. He interacted with a lot of players, but Bill Perkins certainly was the one he bantered with the most. "I play big cash games and I know some of the guys here that play cash. We play pretty big no limit hold'em." Hart told us when we asked him if he had played a lot with Perkins before.

"I don't need luck! I'm gonna fucking win! You quote that!"

The fact that Hart plays big cash games wasn't a secret anymore after Dan Bilzerian tweeted a photo of the two of them playing, together with Jean-Robert Bellande, back in June of last year. Hart, however, hadn't shown his face in tournaments before: "I'm not the tournament player so coming into this world is definitely new for me," Hart told us.

His first experience here at the PokerStars Championship Bahamas was a positive one; "It's good to be embraced. It's good to come, step in, be accepted and be treated well. And, you know, people actually are giving me credit so that's a good thing." Hart had a good time and loved interacting with players he already knew from playing with them but was just as chatty with players he knew from just reading about poker and new players he had never seen before. "Seeing them is all fun and games, there's nothing but love," Hart said with a big smile.

Hart battled with the best of the best all day, and at no moment seemed outwitted. He did, however, realized he was dealing with elite players; "These guys are good. They don't make mistakes. Which is good."

The plan for Day 2 is simple, according to Hart: "Tomorrow is just about doing more like I did today and we'll see how far I can go. Tomorrow is when it counts, Day one is bullshit!"

As we wished him good luck on Day 2, Hart had one final quote for us. It was like the famous Rounders quote where Mike McDonals rolled his eyes over people insisting calling poker luck, but with a Hart twist: "I don't need luck! I'm gonna fucking win! You quote that!"
