We found three big stacks in the room so far. Arthur Peacock has the early lead with 274,000 followed by Sam Sweilem with 266,000 and Erik Seidel with 210,000.

Galen Hall

On a board reading 10c6d4dKc Ricky Guan was all in from the button for 48,000 with a pot of around the same. Action was on Galen Hall who went into the tank as the decision was for most of his chips.

Someone called the clock, and Hall put in the calling chips right as the last seconds ticked down.

Guan tabled AsKh and needed to hold against Hall’s Ac4c.

The river brought the 7c, and Hall made his flush to eliminate Guan.

Galen Hall – 145,000
Ricky Guan – Eliminated

Shannon Shorr

Shannon Shorr was probably hoping to avoid the High Roller this afternoon. He was deep into the SHRPO Championship and made Day 3 with 39 other players. Shorr was short-stacked, coming back to the Event Center with only five bigs, and could not spin it up.

He finished in 39th place, collected $15,695 and took a walk across the hall to join us in the High Roller.

Sam Sweilem

Galen Hall opened to 4,000 from middle position and got three callers.

The flop came Qh10c4s, it checked to Hall who bet 13,000. Shannon Shorr called from the button as did Sam Sweilem from the big blind.

The turn brought the 5c, Sweilem checked and Hall bet 40,000. Both of his opponents called.

The river was the Ah, and Sweilem shoved for 51,000, Hall and Shorr both folded and Sweilem tabled 10d2d.

Hall said “I feel better about it now, you earned it. I thought I got bad beat, turns out I just got wrecked…”

Sam Sweilem – 245,000
Galen Hall – 80,000
Shannon Shorr – 32,000

Manig Loeser

German pro Manig Loeser was one of the more recent entries and the field gets closer to the $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. That looks like a mark they will hit pretty early and then aim for triple digits.

Manig flew from London ahead of the Big 4 tournaments and warmed up with the $50K Super High Roller. On the same day he arrived, he made the final table and went on to finish in fifth place the next day.

David Levi

David Levi, who won Event 2 of this series, three-bet to 15,500 from the small blind over an open and a call. Darren Elias took his time from the big blind before shoving.

It folded around to Levi who snap called all in for 106,500 with KcKh. He needed to hold against Elias’s AdKd.

The board ran out 6d5s2s6h3c and Levi’s pocket kings did indeed hold to score a big double up.

David Levi – 220,000
Darren Elias – 35,000
