James Romero

Joe McKeehen opened to 9,000 from the cutoff and James Romero three-bet to 24,000 from the button. The blinds released, McKeehen called then checked after the QdJd5d flop.

Romero bet 20,000 and McKeehen called. The turn was 3h, McKeehen checked, Romero bet 50,000 and McKeehen called. The river was Ac, McKeehen checked one last time, Romero bet 60,000 (leaving ~45,000 behind), and McKeehen called.

Romero tabled AsQs for top two pair and McKeehen mucked his hand.

James Romero – 363,000 (91 bb)
Joe McKeehen – 36,500 (9 bb)

Anthony Zinno

We caught the action with all the preflop betting complete with Anthony Zinno all-in from the hijacks for 70,500 and Faraz Jaka all in for 95,500 from the button. In between them, Sean Winter was along as well with a stack that covered both.

Zinno: KsQc
Jaka: AdKd
Winter: 9h9c

Winter was ahead for the double KO and Zinno was in rough shape. That changed when Zinno paired the Qh7c5h flop. The comeback was complete after the Td turn and 3d river to send him the triple. Since Jaka had more chips than Zinno, Winter picked up a small rebate from the side pot.

Anthony Zinno – 223,500 (55 bb)
Sean Winter – 146,000 (37 bb)
Faraz Jaka – Eliminated

Ian O’Hara

Sean Winter opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and Ian O’Hara three-bet to 77,000 from the big blind leaving only 3,000 behind. Winter did not have much more in his stack and called the bet.

Both players checked the 9d6c5d flop, the turn was Ah, and O’Hara checked. Winter dropped in three 1K chips and O’Hara called.

Winter: AcJs
O’Hara: 3d3c

Winter paired his ace on the turn and O’Hara could not find a save on the 8c river to exit the High Roller.

Sean Winter – 172,000 (57 bb)
Ian O’Hara – Eliminated

Andy Andrejevic

The second break is complete and action is back underway. Everyone is chasing Andy Andrejevic at the top of the counts with Bryn Kenney not far behind.

Alex Papazian, Erik Seidel, and Brock Wilson round out the top five of a talented bunch.

Andy Andrejevic – 444,000 (148 bb)
Bryn Kenney – 410,000 (137 bb)
Alex Papazian – 380,000 (127 bb)

Bryn Kenney

Bryn Kenney is no stranger to High Rollers and knows how to get it done. The former GPI #1 ranked player had a misstep with his first bullet today and jumped right back in.

The second time around is working much better for Kenney with his new stack up to 378,000 and he is relaxed.

Jerry Robinson

Action folded to Jerry Robinson in the cutoff and he opened to 15,000. Anthony Zinno was in the small blind and dropped four 25k chips for a bet, enough to cover Robinson.

He thought for a few moments, asked Zinno if he would show if he folded, and Zinno called the clock. Before the time ran out, Robinson called.

Robinson: QsQh
Zinno: AcAh

Robinson was in bad shape for his High Roller life and missed the 7s5s4d flop. The Js turn gave him a spade flush draw that filled on the 3s river. Robinson cracked aces and doubled up.

Jerry Robinson – 214,000 (86 bb)
Anthony Zinno – 92,000 (37 bb)

Giuseppe Iadisernia

With the board reading 9s5h2d7h, Giuseppe Iadisernia moved all in against James Romero for 88,500. Romero called and Iadisernia was drawing to stay alive.

Iadisernia: Th6h
Romero: QsQh

Romero was ahead with his queens and Iadisernia was holding a flush draw/gutshot draw. The 8c hit the river to fill his ten-high straight to double through the leader.

Giuseppe Iadisernia – 240,000 (96 bb)
James Romero – 310,000 (124 bb)

Andy Andrejevic

James Romero had a solid lead over second-place Andy Andrejevic after the break but it has narrowed. Andrejevic added more to his stack and now sits with 270,000.

Anthony Zinno was one of the recent entries and the former WPT Player of the Year joined the table with 2015 WSOP Main Event champ Joe McKeehen.
