Dietrich Fast raised to 20,000 from under the gun, Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 66,000 from the button, Leon Tsoukernik called from the big blind, Fast four-bet to 220,000, Jaffe folded, and Tsoukernik called.
The flop came down and Tsoukernik shoved for effectively 520,000-ish. Fast called immediately with for top set of kings, while Tsoukernik tabled for a pair of sevens with a flush draw.
The turn gave Tsoukernik outs to a straight as well, but the river was no help and locked up the double for Fast.
Christoph Vogelsang, who won the Super High Roller Bowl a couple of days ago for $6,000,000, has just been eliminated.
As we arrived, he was already getting up to make his departure. Former table mate Koray Aldemir was kind enough to fill us in on the details.
Action folded to Tom Marchese in the small blind and he pushed all in to put Vogelsang to the test. The latter called for his last 150,000 with and was ahead against Marchese's . Marchese, however, made a flush and Vogelsang said his goodbyes.
We missed the action before the flop but were there to witness what happened post.
From the small blind, Ari Engel checked on a board of with already roughly 260,000 in the middle. Big blind Dan Smith bet 95,000 and Engel tanked for a bit. He eventually slid forward a small tower of chips with some white 100,000-chips in it. Smith moved in for slightly more than that and Engel called.

Smith was at risk for his last 485,000 but had the better of it. The on the turn and on the river were blanks and Smith doubled up.
Event #6: High Roller for One Drop - $111,111 No-Limit Hold'em drew 119 entries on Day 1. After eight levels of play, 79 players remain and 2014 Main Event champion Martin Jacobson leads the way into Day 2 with 1,677,000, followed by Charlie Carrel with 1,624,000 and Doug Polk with 1,522,000.
The day saw many faces claim the top spot of the leaderboard, the first being Ari Engel. In the early to mid stages of the day, Engel won several sizable pots against Chris Johnson before making Johnson the first elimination of the day. Several more players started to fall afterward, mainly by the hands of Leon Tsoukernik who spent about two levels leading the pack. Tsoukernik soon gave way to others as Rainer Kempe, Doug Polk and Dietrich Fast each spent time as chip leader. However, it was a late surge from Jacobson that put him in pole position for Day 2.
Several past One Drop champions took to the felt today and enjoyed mixed results. Big One for One Drop champions Antonio Esfandiari (905,000) and Dan Colman (377,000) survived, while past One Drop High Roller champions Fedor Holz and Anthony Gregg were among those who did not make it to Day 2.
Registration will remain open for the first two levels on Saturday and should close around 4:20 pm. Play resumes at 2:00 and the schedule for the day calls for another eight levels.
