Players are just coming back from their 10 minute break. Now at blinds of 150/300/ 25 ante. There are 311 entries so far. This is the last level where people can enter or re-enter the event. Angel Vu was just seen exiting the tournament area after busting out, but has quickly re-entered and sat right back down. That is the beauty of re-entry tournaments…multiple chances at making the big bucks.

RECAP
This $100K big buy-in event was stacked with talented poker superstars such as Jason Mercier, Dan Smith, Josh Arieh, and Scott Seiver. Seiver came into the Day 2 final table as the commanding chip leader with 5 players left. However, when the dust settled after over 8 hours of play it was high stakes tournament expert Jake Schindler that rose to the top of this power-packed field to take down the $570,375 top prize. Seiver ended up finishing 3rd for $50,000.

Schindler said that he definitely ranks this win pretty high up on his list of poker accomplishments. “It had really, really tough competition…but not a lot of players, so the hands were way more difficult than average,” Schindler said after the win. He mentioned that one of his short term goals is to find a place to live. Today’s win will definitely help towards that.

Schindler also wanted to make note “The Hard Rock did a really really good job by making things right, and adding money to the prize pool for 3rd place and fixing the discrepancy from yesterday. I commend them for that, that was really good management.” He also said that he didn’t expect the final table to last so long, expecting it would have ended maybe a few hours earlier. Heads-up play alone lasted for over 2.5 hours. Ryan Fee ends up taking 2nd place for $307,125.

This is Schindler’s fourth high roller final table in this year alone. He placed 3rd in a High Roller event this summer for $549,450. Today’s win amount is second only to his win at the High Roller event at this year’s Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure, where he won $1,192,624.

FINAL RESULTS
1. Jake Schindler $570,375
2. Ryan Fee $307,125
3. Scott Seiver $50,000

MAIN EVENT SCHEDULE AND RESULTS

Event 20: Cowboys Hold – And The Winner Is….

$100,000 Super High Roller Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
Level 12: 5K/10K/ 1K ante

Jake Schindler
Event 20: $100,000 Super High Roller Deep Stack NLH Champion – Jake Schindler

Heads up play lasts for over 2.5 hours, as neither player wants to relinquish their shot at becoming the SHRPO Super High Roller Champ. And the nice $570,375 that goes along with it, of course.

Jake Schindler limps his button.  Ryan Fee goes all-in one final time and Schindler snaps him off. Fee sees the bad news when the cards are tabled:

Fee: 8s9s
Schindler: KhKd

Fee gets a miracle flop when it comes 4c8d9d, giving him 2 pair right in the window. However the turn comes the Kc, giving the lead back to Schindler with a set of Kings. The river is the As and Schindler is our 2014 SHRPO $100K Buy-In Super High Roller Deep Stack Champion!!! He takes home $570,375 for his work here the past 2 days, and the beautiful SHRPO trophy. Fee takes home a consolation prize of $307,125 for his runner up finish today.

Jacob Schindler

On a board showing 2h10c2s2d3h, Jacob Schindler is all-in. Ryan Fee goes deep into the tank for quite a while, but finally makes the call.

Fee: AsKd
Schindler: 10sJd

Fee was trying to pick off a bluff from Schindler with Ace high, but Schindler had the goods…a full house Deuces over Tens.

Schindler doubles to 656K, while Fee drops to 244K.

Event 20: Seiver Sacked

$100,000 Super High Roller Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
Level 9: 2500/5K/ 500 ante

Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

Scott Seiver goes all-in on the small blind for about 11 big blinds, and is called by Ryan Fee in the big. The cards are tabled:

Seiver: AcQh
Fee: Ah8c

Seiver has the lead pre-flop, but the board rolls out Js6s10cAd8h. Fee catches one of his 3 outs and draws out an eight on the river to make 2 pair, Aces and Eights to eliminate Seiver from the event.

Scott Seiver is knocked out in 3rd and gets the $50,000 added to the prize pool.
