$50,000 Super High Roller
$1,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts
Level 16: 6,000/12,000 with a 12,000 ante
Players Remaining: 5 of 25

From a starting field of 25 entries, just five players remain after Day 1 of the $50,000 Super High Roller.

Here’s the lineup:

Seat 1: Adrian Mateos – 664,000 (55 bb)
Seat 2: Nick Petrangelo – 478,000 (40 bb)
Seat 3: Stefan Schillhabel – 359,000 (30 bb)
Seat 4: David Peters – 294,000 (25 bb)
Seat 5: Justin Bonomo – 705,000 (59 bb)

Until the last few levels of the night, the pace of action was remarkably brisk. It started right out of the gate, with Alan Schein eliminated on the very first hand of the day.

Schein returned once before being dismissed for good the second time. He wasn’t alone in firing multiple bullets, either. Justin Bonomo, Giuseppe Iadisernia, Koray Aldemir, and David Peters were each in for more than one apiece, too.

Peters and Bonomo are the only two re-enterers who will earn a payout ticket on Thursday, though. Mateos, Petrangelo, and Schillhabel each needed only one entry to get the job done.

Here are the remaining payouts up for grabs:

1st: $493,000 + trophy
2nd: $308,125
3rd: $197,200
4th: $135,575
5th: $98,600

Since play went so late this evening, the staff has granted the players a late restart. They’ll return to the felt at 1 p.m. to play it out for the trophy.
