The LHPO High Roller drew 41 entries to slide past the $1,000,000 guarantee and seven players return today to play down to a champion.

With a $40K jump between 8th place and 7th place, there was an extended bubble at the final table and their Day 1 came to an end when Alex Turyansky was eliminated by Jared Jaffee.

That was enough to give Jaffee a big overnight lead holding 1,325,000 with Ping Liu’s 765,000 the closest. But all seven players have talent and anyone can win.

There are 46 minutes and 50 seconds remaining in Level 16 with blinds at 10,000/20,000 and a 20,000 big blind ante. The average stack is about 585,000 (29 bb) and Jonathan Jaffe will have the button on the first hand back.

Seat 1: Jared Jaffee – 1,325,000 (66 bb)
Seat 2: Jonathan Jaffe – 730,000 (37 bb)

With nine players left, Jaffee himself was knocked down to just nine big blinds when his ace-king couldn’t catch up to Ping Liu’s pocket aces, but Jaffee slowly worked his way back, and when he won the last hand of the night, it gave him a big chip lead heading into Day 2.

Seat 1.  Jared Jaffee  –  1,325,000  (66 bb)
