HK$103,000 High Roller Single Re-Entry Shot Clock Set To Start
Welcome back to the PokerStars Championship Macau at the City Of Dreams resort for the fifth and final installment of high octane, big buy-in tournament action. The HK$103,000 High Roller Single Re-Entry Shot Clock event will be starting shortly at 12pm local time (GMT+7).
This marks the last of the official High Roller events on the PSC calendar for this particular tournament series. Although there is another HK$103,000 Single Re-Entry beginning tomorrow at 8pm local time, neither PokerNews or the PokerStars blog team will be covering it so this is your last chance to satisfy those cravings for High Roller action, at least until the PokerStars Championship Monte-Carlo rolls around on 3 May.
So far our High Rolling competitors have generated an eye-popping HK$59,959,580 (~US$7,716,616) in prize money with today’s High Roller only guaranteed to add to this already impressive figure.
Once again the shot clock rules will be in effect with levels of 60 minutes each and a starting stack of 50,000, there will also be a 30-second shot clock which activates 5-seconds into every hand. Once this runs down players have three (30-second) time extension chips that come into play automatically once the initial 30-second clock has expired.
If a player has no more time bank chips and is first to act in the hand and there has been no action then they are counted as checking automatically. If there has been action and the player has no more time bank chips once the 30-seconds Shot Clock has counted down then their hand is declared dead – unless of course, they have already acted.
Thursday 6 April saw Germany’s Oliver Weis emerge victorious over the 47-strong (including re-entries) field to earn his largest ever career tournament score of HK$3,130,000 (~US$402,840) after taking down his first major title.
Cards will be in the air shortly so stay with us as the PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to see who has got what it takes to be the latest PokerStars High Roller Champion.
Short Delay at the Start

More Names Added to the Field
Nível 1
: 100/200, 25 ante
Sam Greenwood is back in action for more High Roller glory after going from dominating chip leader to cruel bubble boy in yesterday's Pot-Limit Omaha event. And then, an armada from Australia headed to the manual seating including Kahle Burns, Michael Egan, Martin Kozlov, Adrian Attenborough and Daniel Neilson.
Kitty Kuo is also registered and will try to reclaim the number one spot of the all-time money list for her home country, which James Chen recently took over. According to the screens, there are currently 43 entries and this number is guaranteed to grow over the coming hours, as registration remains open until the start of Day 2.

Kozlov Doing some Early Work
Nível 1
: 100/200, 25 ante
Daniel Neilson raised to 500 and Martin Kozlov called, as did Zdravko Duvnjak in the small blind. On the 
flop, the action checked to Kozlov and he bet 1,700. Only Duvnjak called and did so again for 3,900 on the 
turn.
The 
on the river saw a check by Duvnjak and Kozlov then fired a third bet, this time for 8,500. This was good enough to claim the pot without showdown right there, as Duvnjak folded.

Duvnjak Pips Jin, Hong Folds Out Dvoress
Nível 1
: 100/200, 25 ante
Play is starting slowly as the 43 current entries ease into the High Roller but we do have a couple of small hands for you.
In the first, it was Croatia’s Zdravko Duvnjak opening the action with a raise to 500 from late position and China’s Yinfeng Jin elected to defend from the big blind to take play heads-up to a flop of 
.
Jin led into Duvnjak on the flop to the tune of 500 and the Croatian smooth called to bring the action to the 
turn, which slowed down the action slightly and both players checked.
Jin fired again, this time for 700 on the 
river and Duvnjak quickly called. The Chinese player turned over 
but this was not enough to beat Duvnjak’s 
and he wins his first pot of the day.
Nan Hong is another who can put a tick in the ‘pot won’ box after raising to 600 from the button and finding a caller in big blind Daniel Dvoress.
Both players checked the 
flop and after Dvoress checked for a second time on the turn Hong fired for 1,025. This was enough to get Dvoress to give it up and Hong raked in the small pot.

Luo Thriving Early
Nível 1
: 100/200, 25 ante
Xixiang Luo won a Side Event here at the PokerStars Live Macau poker room during the festival and then added another trophy to his poker resume after emerging in last night's Hyper Turbo tournament. A big role on his way to victory was a four-way all in with pocket queens versus kings and aces, and Luo rivered a straight to claim a massive lead.
Luo entered today's High Roller and already scooped a big pot again, boosting his stacking. The tail end of a hand against Wenwu Xue saw Luo bet the 
river for 8,300 and Xue called, then mucked when Luo flipped over for a set of deuces as winning hand.
