Igor Yaroshevsky beats A-K with A-K
Igor Yaroshevsky was all in preflop holding [Ah][Kd] and was up against his opponent's [As][Kc]. It looked as if the pot would be chopped, until the dealer placed four hearts on the community. Igor pulled out an amazing double up with 13 players remaining. When one more player is lost, there will be another redraw.
Brian Altman eliminated in 19th, down to final three tables
Brian Altman moved all in and was called by Paul Volpe before David Williams moved all in over the top. Paul eventually folded, and David's pocket kings led Brian's pocket tens. The board ran out a full house, but David's full house was best, sending Brian to the rail in 19th place. He will earn $30,590 for his efforts. The remaining 18 players are now redrawing for seats at the final three tables.
Here are the recent eliminations:
19th Place: Brian Altman ($30,590)
20th Place: Ravi Raghavan ($30,590)

23rd Place: Garrett Greer ($30,590)
24th Place: Shahin Shojaeyan ($30,590)
Recent eliminations: 25th-30th Place
A dramatic double elimination saw the field shrink to 24 players. Cody Wiegann was all in with [5d][5c] and was in bad shape against Tom West's [9s][9c]. But they were both in worse shape against Xinyu Zhao's [Kd][Kc]. The board ran out clean, and Cody and Tom hit the rail, bringing the field down to four tables remaining. Here are the recent eliminations:
25th Place: Tom West ($30,590)
26th Place: Cody Wiegmann ($30,590)

Sorel Mizzi has been eliminated
Sorel Mizzi was all in holding ace king and was dominating his opponent's ace jack. The T-3-A flop was safe for Sorel, leaving his opponent drawing to a jack. A king hit the turn, and Sorel's new friend the Hash Tag King celebrated with him, however a queen would make Sorel's opponent a straight. And a queen is just what landed on the river, dashing Sorel's hope of winning the 2017 Shooting Star.
David Tuckman has been eliminated
David Tuchman was all in preflop holding A-Q up against the pocket jacks of Christian Harder. The K-J-x flop left David drawing to a ten to make a straight. The queen on the turn changed nothing, and the nine on the river meant David would be eliminated in 52nd place. He will take home $19,120 for his efforts.
High Roller has concluded for the night
The final two players in the $25k High Roller are bagging up their chips for the night. They will return tomorrow at 1pm PST and continue playing at 600/1,200 blinds with a 200 ante. Here are the heads up chip counts:
