The $25K High Roller never had a sweat with its $1,000,000 guarantee. That number was surpassed before the first break and they still have six hours to spin it up with late registration available until 10 pm.

A few friendly faces in the group include Jonathan Jaffe, David Peters, Joe McKeehen, Chance Kornuth, Kristen and Alex Foxen, T.K. Miles, Dylan Linde, Michael Wang, and former WPT Poker Showdown champ Brek Schutten.
