Event #9: €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller
Dia 2 Começado
Philipp Gruissem leads the way with 2,905,000 as Event #9: €25,000 No-Limit High Roller restarts at 2 p.m. Thursday. Gruissem is on top of a stacked field as you might expect from a high roller. It is almost easier to name the players who weren't seen during Day 1 that it would be to name the players who are coming back for Day 2.
A couple final tablists from the 2017 WSOP Main Event are in the field. Antoine Saout (2,030,000) and Benjamin Pollak (1,380,000) are here and have healthy stacks heading into today. Saout actually enters with the seventh largest stack.
One of those players is Chris Ferguson who extended his Player of the Year lead last night by winning Event #7: €1,650 Pot-Limit Omaha Eight or Better for €39,289. Shortly after the final river card fell Ferguson ran over and registered for Event #9. He is likely to be joined by a handful of players registering before Day 2 begins.
The event is scheduled to end today in time for the players to play the €111,111 One Drop. The blinds will start at 15,000/30,000 and players who enter will get the 500,000 starting stack. Below are the top ten stacks entering the day.
