Jeffrey Rossiter started the day short-stacked, having bagged just under 7.5K when play wrapped up last night, and today he was the first victim. He got it pretty good, holding

Our TD Martin Roy has just made the announcement that Day 1 of Event 4 will conclude after each table has played a total of 5 more hands.
Player chip counts as well as Day 2 seating assignments will be made available shortly.
As stated in the rules for Event 4 – High Roller, there was a full seating redraw with 24 players remaining. Here is what the new seating arrangements look like:
Table 62
Table 66
Table 70
There is another seating redraw scheduled for when the field drops to 16 players, and for the final table of 9.
The players are now back from their 3rd break of the day and there were no last-minute registrations so the final tally stands at 34 players that started the event.
During the break we found the following 5 chip leaders. The situation hasn’t changed considerably since the last break, but that’s not to say that the action hasn’t been fierce.
On top of what should be an interesting top prize, the winner of the Event 4 – $10,000 + $400 High Roller – will also be taking home a beautiful Pokerstars Canada Cup Trophy, seen below.
The High Roller event has made it most of the way through level 6, which means there remains just over 20 minutes before late registration closes! There are currently 27 players of the 34 total entries who started the day.
Recent eliminations include Satellite qualifier John Pentefountas, Thiago Nishijima, Gabriel Le Jossec, and Spencer Stacey.
4 levels have come and go in the High-Roller event, and a few players have managed separate themselves from the field. Here are the top 5 stacks at the moment:
The High Roller tourney has just had its second elimination as Jeffrey Cormier raised all-in preflop with his small 2,475 chip stack and was called by Steven Silverman.
Jeffrey: 
Steven: 
There was no sweat on the flop of 
giving Steven quads and making the turn and river entirely meaningless (but – they were the 
and 
).
In a hand just moments later, PokerStars online pro Marc-André Ladouceur was also eliminated from the event.
