Mike Leah has been one of the most active players early on in this big buy-in High Roller. After busting Brian Hastings in Level 1, he’s enjoyed a pile of chips to work with and got a chunk of them in the middle in a recent all-in pot versus Galen Hall. Hall was at risk preflop.

Hall:
Leah:

Runout:

Hall’s boat was best and Leah surrendered the double.

Oliver Busquet was on the button and Tim Reilly was in the small blind. The pair got 10,500 in the pot preflop and went heads-up to a flop. Reilly checked and Busquet — who was the preflop aggressor — C-bet 7,000. Reilly called.

Fourth street revealed the . Reilly checked again and Busquet bet again, this time 26,000. Reilly called and it was off to the river.

The dealer burned and turned the . Reilly checked a third time and Busquet promptly jammed about 58,500. Reilly, who had Busquet covered with about 65,000 behind, went into the tank.

After a minute or two, Reilly reluctantly folded and Busquet took the kiddie.

Olivier Busquet – 145,000
Tim Reilly – 65,000

Minnesota’s Blake Bohn cut his tournament chops playing mid-stakes events primarily in the Midwest. With his first reported cash coming in a $300 buy-in in 2005, Bohn has steadily worked his up the ranks thanks largely in part to a slew of cashes on the MSPT. He’s no stranger to big buy-ins now and has enjoyed some huge scores in South Florida including a seventh-place finish and $249,000 win in the 2014 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship.

With the High Roller clock continuing a climb, it now shows 30 entries. Bohn was among the first in the room just before the 12pm kickoff and he’s been firmly in his seat at Table 92 since cards went in the air about an hour ago. At present, he hovers right around starting stack.

Aldemir reached into his stack and came back with a raise to 6,400. Chidwick called and Aldemir turned over for aces-up. Chidwick mucked and dropped below starting.

Koray Aldemir – 115,000

Mike Leah and Brian Hastings got into a preflop battle that saw the pair commit their stacks before a community card hit the felt. Both had lost a small portion of their 100,000 starting chips and it was unclear who was the at-risk player.

Hastings:
Leah:

The dealer burned and turned a flop and Leah’s odds to win got a bit slimmer. The turn changed that, though, as he spiked a boat to take a stranglehold against Hastings’ aces-up. The river completed the action with the and the dealer counted down Leah’s holdings.

It was revealed Leah claimed 93,800 chips, just more than Hastings. With that, Hastings hit the felt while Leah scooped a big pot early.

Mike Leah – 197,500
Brian Hastings – Eliminated

The clock struck 12pm and cards went in the air for the $25,500 buy-in High Roller just moments ago. It’s a slow drip to start with the clock showing 14 in the game. There’s a complimentary lunch spread in the back of the room and a handful of players are grazing before taking their seats. We expect the entry count to climb steadily in the first few levels.

High Roller tournaments always attract some of the top players in the game and we expect the same this time around. Event 20 is the second High Roller on the Lucky Hearts Poker Open schedule and it has a huge history of success.

The last two $25,500 High Rollers more than doubled their $1 Million Guarantee and we don’t see any reason why today should be any different.

The High Roller entrants will start with deep 100,000 stacks and levels will run 40-minutes in the beginning. Late registration and re-entries are available until the start of Level 13 at 7:30 pm after the dinner break.

This is a two-day tournament and those with chips at the end of Level 15 will bag them up for a return Tuesday at noon.
