Barry Hutter

Tom Marchese opened to 100,000 from the cutoff and Barry Hutter moved all in for 1,330,000 from the button. The blinds released and Marchese quickly called.

Marchese: AsAc
Hutter: AdQh

Hutter’s big ace was in trouble against the monster and the aces never had a sweat on the Td7h5c9cQd runout to send Hutter off the High Roller final table in sixth place.

Barry Hutter limped from the small blind and Jake Schindler checked his big blind option to the Jh9c3d flop. Both checked and Hutter checked the 9d turn. Schlindler bet 100,000 and Hutter called.

The river came Js, Hutter checked once again, and Schindler bet 300,000. Hutter folded and Schlinder flashed the 4c2c bluff to Hutter then the rest of the table.

Ory Hen looks at the one-out river

Ory Hen moved all in from the hijack for 580,000 and Omar Zazay reshipped from the small blind for a similar stack. Tom Marchese released his big blind hand and the hands were flipped up.

Hen: TdTs
Zazay: 9c9s

Hen was in great position to double up and he faded the Kd7d4d flop. Since Hen was holding a diamond, Zazy was left with one nine remaining in the deck to help him. The 6h turn made no difference but the crowd came alive (and Hen jumped from his seat) when the non-diamond 9h hit the river. A one-out river knockout for our former SHRP Player of the Year who was in the High Roller from a $300 step satellite.

Omar Zazay – 1,290,000 (26 bb)
Ory Hen – Eliminated in 7th place ($116,942)

Paul Hofer

Action folded to Paul Hofer in the small blind and he moved all in for 75,000. Mark Fisher called in the big blind and it was Hofer at risk.

Hofer: Kd9s
Fisher: AdQh

Hofer had two live cards but it was Fisher pairing the AcTs4d flop. The board finished with the 8s turn and 2c river to exit in eighth place.

High Roller: Shaun Deeb Leads High Roller Final Table

Level 18: 20,000/40,000 with a 40,000 ante
Players Remaining: 8 of 123

The Big 4 High Roller had the biggest buy-in of the four and smallest field. But it was one of the more talented group of players you will see at the tables.

They pushed past the $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool to put more than $3,000,000 up for grabs. The last 16 players made some money and eight of them remain alive for the title.

Current WSOP Player of the Year leader (and four-time WSOP champ) Shaun Deeb leads the final table but the lineup is stacked from top to bottom.

The Big 4 High Roller champ will walk away with more than $800,000 but it will not be an easy win.

High Roller: Meet the Final Table

The Big 4 High Roller drew a huge crowd to the $25,500 buy-in event and they pushed the $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool over $3,000,000 by the time registration closed. Only eight of the starting 123 players remain and they’ll play it out for the title in front of the Poker Night in America cameras.

The eight players have combined for more than $53,000,000 in career earnings along with countless tournament trophies. Shaun Deeb leads the final table but there are seven talented players trying to catch.


Seat 1: Tom Marchese
Chip Count – 1,180,000

Marchese is a pro player and a regular in any High Roller event around the world. His $17.5 million in career earnings is huge and good enough for second all-time at this final table behind Jake Schindler. Marchese has 13 cashes over $100,000 and six that were $1,000,000 or more.


Seat 2: Barry Hutter
Chip Count – 1,320,000

The hometown Hollywood, FL hero will move over $4.7 million in career earnings no matter where he finishes at the final table and he can add another award to his list of credits. He already owns a WSOP Circuit ring from 2010, a WSOP bracelet from 2015, and he has one career WPT final table.


Seat 3: Jake Schindler
Chip Count – 2,035,000

The Northeast grinder is another familiar face in High Rollers around the world and his $20,000,000 in career earnings puts him at the top of the list among these final table players. Schindler has too many Aria High Roller wins to count and he began his trophy hunt with a tournament win here during the 2013 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open.


Seat 4: Ory Hen
Chip Count – 710,000

Hen is a constant, familiar, friendly face in all of our tournaments and the SHRP favorite will return to the final table as the shortest stack. He has proven his ability to finish off a tournament with a half dozen SHRP titles to go along with his WSOP Circuit ring. He is also a former SHRP Player of the Year after a huge run in 2015.


Seat 5: Paul Hofer
Chip Count – 1,365,000

The German pro is one of only three players at this final table with a WSOP bracelet. Hofer picked up nearly $650,000 when he won the $1,111 WSOP Little One for One Drop tournament in 2015. He also earned another nice score for an Aussie Million title back in 2016.


Seat 6: Mark Fisher
Chip Count – 1,625,000

Fisher is the big unknown quantity at this High Roller final table. The futures trader from Bar Harbor has only a handful of tournament results to his credit but he cashed a big one when he went deep in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event. Fisher only non-pro at the final table but he has not been intimidated by the High Roller regulars.


Seat 7: Shaun Deeb
Chip Count – 3,205,000

Our chip leader Shaun Deeb has been on quite a roll all summer long. The high-stakes cash game pro has been hitting it big on the tournament side with 16 cashes during this summer’s World Series of Poker including two more bracelets bringing his total to four career WSOP wins. All those results add up to make him the current frontrunner for the WSOP Player of the Year.


Seat 8: Omar Zazay
Chip Count – 870,000

Zazay may not be from South Florida but we can still count him among our favorites after winning a monster title. He has $1.8 million in career earnings with a cool $1,000,000 of it coming almost exactly three years ago. Zazay outlasted 907 players to win the 2015 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship which ran as a freeze-out that year.
