Alex Foxen opened his button pre-flop, and when Edward Lin 3-bet him from the big blind, Alex slammed in a 4-bet all-in worth roughly 80,000. Edward made the call holding a premium pair, and hands were tabled.
Alex: 
Edward: 
Board: 
Edward had his opponent covered by a few big blinds, and with that pot he narrowly surpassed the 200,000 chip mark.
After an action-packed first half of the day, the pace in the High Roller seems to have slowed down considerably since the re-entry and registration period have come to an end. With the tournament now only 7 eliminations away from the money, and the average stack a hefty 50 big blinds, players are on their best performance heading into the last level of the day.
Tommy Nguyen has held on to the chip lead through level 15, increasing his stack to roughly 340,000 chips. One more level of play remains before the survivors bag their chips onto Day 3, where we will play down to our tournament champion.
William Molson was all-in for 44,000 from the cutoff, and Mohsin Charania committed his slightly smaller stack from the button before Joey Weissman made the quick call from the big blind.
William: 
Mohsin: 
Joey: 
William picked up some equity on the flop, however Joey’s bullets prevailed on the 
board to send his two opponents to the rail. Joey now sits on a healthy 180,000 chip stack with 22 players remaining.
The High Roller event is taking it’s final break of the day, and when players return they will have 2 more levels to complete before calling it a day.
Tommy Nguyen has taken over the top spot on the leaderboard, which was held by Kristen for most of the day.
