High Roller Update

Byron Kaverman is the chip leader
While the Main Event plays on, the $25k High Roller has grown to two tables of action. While it was scheduled for a 4pm start time, the first players didn't end up taking their seats until around 5pm.

Igor Kurganov is on his second entry, while others such as Erik Seidel, Joe McKeehen, Taylor Paur, and Anthony Zinno are in for one bullet so far. Blinds have just increased to 300/600, and Byron Kaverman looks to be the chip leader with 106,000.

Main Event is in the money

The bubble has burst in the $7,500 Shooting Star Main Event. All remaining 72 players are guaranteed at least $14,900. Play will continue at 3,000/6,000 blinds with a 1,000 ante. You can watch a video of the bubble bursting below.


Play is now hand for hand


With 74 players remaining, Liv Boeree was all in for 25,000 at 3,000/6,000 blinds. Action folded around to the big blind who thought for awhile before making the call with [Ts][8d]. Liv held [Qs][Qh] and was in great shape to double up. The [Kd][Qd][Jd] gave Liv a set, but gave her opponent a straight and flush draw. The [As] filled the straight, but Liv had a redraw to a full house. The [Td] landed on the river and it looked to be a chop with a straight on board, but it was quickly noticed that Liv's opponent had rivered a flush.

With the elimination of Liv Boeree, play is now hand-for-hand.

The money bubble is coming

The board reads 74 players remaining, which means the 2016 Bay 101 Shooting Star is 2 players from being in the money. Players are now on break, and blinds will be 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 ante when play continues. Hand for hand play will happen soon.

Pat Lyons has been eliminated


Pat Lyons, self proclaimed "Best Player in the Bay Area," has been eliminated by Mike Leah. Mike had check-raised a [Jd][2d][Qd][Kh] board, and Pat snap called. When the [8c] hit the river, Mike took some time before moving all in, having Pat covered. Pat once again snap called, this time for his tournament life. Mike showed [Ac][Td] for the nut straight, and Pat could only show two pair with his queen jack.

Mukul Pahuja has been eliminated


On a [Th][4s][3s] board, Mukul Pahuja bet 8,500 before his opponent raised to 27,000. Mukul took his time before moving all in for approximately 65,000, and his opponent snap called. Mukul's [As][Kh] was in trouble as he was up against [Jh][Jd]. Mukul was unable to find an ace, a king, or running cards, and he will be eliminated in roughly 180th place.

Andy Frankenberger has been eliminated


Andy Frankenberger was all in on our featured table holding [As][5h] and was up against his opponent's [Ks][Jc]. As the World Poker Tour cameras surrounded the table, Andy joked, "I thought you guys only come over here for bustouts. I'm going to be here for awhile." The [Qd][8c][Ac] gave Andy top pair, but his opponent had a gutshot straight draw. "Always a sweat," Andy lamented. That straight materialized on the [Th] turn, leaving Andy drawing dead. The [Ad] hit the river, giving Andy trips, but that wasn't good enough. He will be eliminated with around 200 players remaining.

$25k High Roller begins at 4pm

Today at 4pm, Bay 101 will be running a $25k High Roller. This is a 2-day event and the structure is available here.

Day 2 is Under Way

Blinds will resume at 800/1,600 with a 200 ante, and the first four levels will be 60 minutes. Levels will then be 90 minutes, and the top 72 players will be in the money.
