Super High Roller: Elio Fox Defeats Dan Shak for the Title

Level 17: 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 ante

The heads-up battle did not last long. Elio Fox took the lead and then the title in less than fifteen minutes.

Fox was on the button and the board was reading KcKdJsTh. Shak checked, Fox bet 80,000 and Shak announced all in.

He had 825,000 and Fox quickly called after one quick look at his cards to confirm.

Fox: AhQh
Shak: Jh3s

Fox was far ahead with the turned Broadway straight and Shak was looking for four outs. The 5s river could not upgrade his two pair to a boat and the match was over.

Shak earned $305,000 for his runner-up finish and Fox walked to the cage to pick up his $500,000 first place prize. This is the fifth time Fox earned a six-digit payout in the last month including a WSOP High Roller bracelet.

Super High Roller recap to come soon.

Giuseppe Iadisernia

Giuseppe Iadisernia was in no hurry to mess with the two bigger stacks and picked his spots trying to move his stack higher. His stack was down to 265,000 when Dan Shak opened from the small blind for a barrel of 25k chips, more than enough to cover Iadisernia in the big blind.

He peeked at his cards and called at risk.

Shak: Ah7s
Iadisernia: KdTs

Iadisernia had two live cards but blanked the 6h4d2h3s8d runout to exit the Super High Roller in third place for $190,000.

Dan Shak – 1,350,000 (90 bb)

There’s been little action over the first 30 minutes of the restart. Dan Shak extended his lead a bit, Giuseppe Iadisernia is picking his spots carefully, and Elio Fox is driving the action early.

Day 2 of the Super High Roller is unlike any other Day 2 of the series. The tournament as a whole was one where we knew every player in the field and there are only three players left with a chance at the title.

There were 25 entries in the $50,000 buy-in game and Giuseppe Iadisernia was one of the last ones in. He entered during the dinner break for registration closed (only David Peters entered later) and he’s still here, guaranteed at least $190,000 on his one bullet.

WSOP Europe Super High Roller champ Dan Shak lead the three returning players with two-time WSOP champ Elio Fox only a small blind behind.

Ali Imsirovic and Chris Hunichen already cashed in the Super High Roller, the latter in the game courtesy of a satellite win. But there’s still $995,000 up for grabs between the last three players so this could be a long day for them.

Cards go back in the air at 2pm with hour-long levels and deep stacks.

Seat 1.  Dan Shak  –  975,000  (65 bb)
Seat 2.  Giuseppe Iadisernia  –  560,000  (37 bb)
Seat 3.  Elio Fox  –  965,000  (64 bb)

1st:  $500,000
2nd:  $305,000
3rd:  $190,000
