Kathy Lehne was under the gun and Josh Arieh the button when they were heads up to a flop. Lehne checked, Arieh bet 6,000 and Lehne called to the turn.

Lehne led out for 12,000 and Arieh asked to see her stack. He tossed in three 25K chips, enough to cover Lehne, and she took her time to think it through. After a few minutes, Lehne stacked her remaining chips and moved them forward.

Lehne:
Arieh:

Lehne was way ahead with her top pair/flush draw and Arieh needed to catch a non-club ace for the knockout. The was a blank and Lehne hit a big double up.

The Super High Roller count clicked up by one over the last level. Two-time WSOP bracelet winner/WPT Champions Club member Nick Schulman popped his head in the meeting room, asked a few questions, then returned with a tournament ticket to the show.

Schulman does some poker commentary these days but he’s notstranger to big money events. He has 16 cashes of $100,000 or better with his biggest ($2.1 million) coming with his 2005 WPT win at Foxwoods.

As expected, there has not been much major movement in the stacks with Sam Soverel the “short stack” with 109 big blinds.

The Super High Rollers took a quick break after Level 3 to enjoy the food spread and catch a breather.

Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Chance Kornuth made his way to the meeting room and began his day at the start of Level 4.

WSOP bracelet winner (and three-time Aria High Roller champ) Sam Soverel was also a late addition to the field. On top of his 2016 Pot Limit Omaha bracelet, Soverel conquered High Roller fields in the $25K, $50K, and $100K price range.

We also have a 14th player registered but they have yet to take their seat.

The Super High Roller field is slowly building, as you would expect with a field of this caliber and buy-in. It tends to snowball bigger once more players take the seats and the stacks are less deep.

Rainer Kempe is back and we last saw him when he finished third in the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Super High Roller March. Dan Colman is another late entrant and he joins Jason Koon as former Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Champions.
