$25,000 High Roller No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 17: 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players Remaining: 13 of 94
After a long, 15-hour day of poker, Day 1 of the $25,000 High Roller No Limit Hold’em comes to a close with the final 13 players all in the money.
Brian Benderoff is leading the pack with 1,279,000 in chips and is joined at the top of the leaderboard by Yevgeniy Timoshenko (1,140,000) and John Dolan (887,000).
The tournament was played eight-handed and Day 1 was originally scheduled to play down to the final table of eight players, but as the day moved along, the staff decided to alter the schedule and play until they burst the money bubble.
The money bubble burst just after 5 a.m. on Wednesday morning to wrap up the day’s action and leave the remaining 13 players all in the money.
The survivors of the day will come back on Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m. to play down to a winner. They are all guaranteed at least a min-cash of $58,750, but they all have their sights set on the first place prize of $658,000.
