High Roller Heads-Up Report — Extra Day Added The £10,350 heads-up high roller event has reached the final match between Gus Hansen and Jim Collopy from an initial field of 103. The winner will take home the top prize worth £288,409 and the runner-up will take home £178,211 and some deflated hopes. First Match: The first round saw Hansen take control but Collopy held on to battle for quite some time before succumbing to a first-game loss. Second Match: This match started the same as the first with Hansen jumping out to a lead and Collopy struggling to catch up. Things went differently when he moved all in though. He doubled up twice to even up the chip counts and then he took control to win the second match and tie things up 1-1. When the score was evened it was 3 a.m. local time last night and the two decided to stop play and return today at a time to be determined. We will bring you updates from when play finally does begin anew and then keep you posted until a winner is crowned in this prestigious tournament. Here are the results so far for this event: 3: Ram Vaswani — £96,212 Player Tags: Juha Helppi, Antonio Esfandiari, Eli Elezra, Todd Terry, Tom Dwan, Jeff Madsen Level 1 Update: Early Movers and ShakersSep 24, '10 Blinds: 50-100 Players Remaining: 200 out of 200 (unofficial) Chip Counts: 1. David Benyamine — 65,000 Card Player Family Chip Counts: Barry Shulman — 34,000 Average Chip Count: 30,000 Notable Eliminations: Saar Wilf Big Hands: Defending Champ Chops It Up Defending champion Barry Shulman found himself all in in the first level against Andy Frankenberger. However, fortunately both players were left relatively unscathed. With blinds at 50-100, the player in mid-position raised to 300. Frankenberger called, as did Shulman from the small blind. The big blind also came along for the ride and the flop came down 10-10-4. Shulman checked, the big blind bet 450, and the original bettor folded. Frankenberger made the call and then Shulman raised it up to 2,000. The two players called and the turn was a 7. Shulman bet 10,000 and the big blind folded. Frankenberger called and the river was a 4. Shulman then shoved all in and saw a call from Frankenberger. The river card meant the two would see a chopped pot as Shulman held A-10 and Frankenberger held Q-10. A lucky escape for Frankenberger as both players’ stacks hover around the 35,000 mark. Early Skirmish An unusually large pot transpired during the opening minute of play when Eli Elezra bet 1,000 on a 9 6 2 flop. Juha Helppi made the call under the gun and Robert Cooper raised to 3,000. The turn fell A and all three players checked. The 4 was brought down the pipe by the river and Elezra bet 7,000. Helppi made the call and Cooper mucked K K face up on the table. Helppi flipped over the A but Elezra countered with A 6 and he won the pot to take an early lead with 41,000. David Benyamine Eliminates Saar Wilf After minimal action to open the pot, a 10-8-6 flop sat on the table with two hearts when David Benyamine bet and Saar Wilf made the call. The turn brought a 4 and Benyamine bet again. This time Wilf raised and Benyamine reraised all in. Wilf made the call for his tournament life and flipped over pocket tens for the set. Benyamine revealed 7-5 for a straight and he won the hand, grew his stack to 65,000, and eliminated Wilf. Carlos Mortensen on the Rise Carlos Mortensen bet 10,000 into a pot of equal size with a board of A 10 5 8 A sitting on the table. Elijah Berg went into the tank and eventually made the call. Berg when Mortensen revealed A 10 to win the pot and grow his stack to 45,000.

Craig Hopkins – 131,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Todd Brunson — 41,000 Notable Eliminations: Big Hands Sebok Mixes It Up The player under the gun limped in for 300. The next player to act raised to 1,500 and Joe Sebok was next to act. He made the call and everyone else mucked, including the player under the gun. The flop then fell 764 and both players checked. It was the same story on the 8 turn and J river. Sebok then showed his hand, 22. It was good enough to take the pot as his opponent showed A10 for just ace high. A few hands later, the flop came down J83. Sebok called his opponent’s all in bet and tabled 54 for a flush draw. His opponent tabled KK and Sebok needed help. The turn didn’t give him anything as it was the 10, but the A on the river made Sebok his flush and he knocked out his opponent, pushing his stack to 64,000. Raymer Straightens Out His Opponent A player raised to 950 and the player in the cutoff made the call. The action was then on Greg Raymer on the button, who raised to 3,500. Everyone folded except the cutoff and the flop was 987. Both players checked and saw the 10 fall on the turn. The cutoff bet 5,000 and Raymer made the call. The river was the 2 and the action was checked to Raymer. He bet another 5,000 and the cutoff called. Raymer tabled KJ for a straight and the cutoff mucked. Raymer raked in the pot and was at 48,000. Mortensen Getting Short On a board reading J96Q, Carlos Mortensen bet 5,000. Another player raised to 13,000 and Mortensen made the call. The river was the 2 and the player shoved his entire stack, having Mortensen covered. Mortensen then mucked pocket nines face up, giving up his set. The other player showed K10 for the flush and took the pot, knocking out another player in the hand. Mortensen was down to just 12,000. Helppi’s Pocket Kings Hold Up, Even With an Ace on Board Juha Helppi raised to 900 under the gun and got four callers. The flop came AJ6 and everybody checked around. The turn was the 6 and everybody checked again. The river brought the 6 and now Helppi put out a bet of 1,150 and it folded around to the player in the small blind who cut out a call and put the chips in. Helppi tabled KK and his opponent mucked his cards. Kravchenko and Raymer Mixing it Up After some preflop action, three players, including Alex Kravchenko and Greg Raymer see a flop of AQ2. Kravchenko bet 1,500, there was a fold and then Raymer made the call. The turn was the K and both players checked. The river was the 6 and Kravchenko checked again. Raymer bet 4,000 and after a few moments, Kravchenko mucked. Raymer tabled the AQ, good for two pair. Just a few hands later, these same two players were sparring again. Raymer checked and called a bet from Kravchenko on the turn and a third player came along for the river. The final board read KJ9K8. Raymer checked, the other player checked and Kravchenko bet 3,000. Raymer quickly made the call and the third party got out of the way. Kravchenko showed AK and Raymer mucked. Round 2 goes to Kravchenko. Jason Young Gets Bluffed A player under the gun made it 900 to go and got three callers, including Jason Young who called from the button. The flop was K64 and the under the gun player bet 2,100. After there were two folds in between, Jason Young opted to raise to 5,150. After some thought, the under the gun player tossed in the call. The 7 fell on the turn and both players checked. The 2 was the river card and now the original preflop raiser bets 9,000. “You got two aces?” asked Young before he mucks his hand. His read was a little off as his opponent showed the 54, for just a pair of fours. Left In The Deck: It was just announced that 873 players registered for Day 1b of the main event, with 720 remaining. This is down from 1,158 players that registered on Day 1b last year. It appears that people just don’t want to spend their 4th of July holiday in the poker room. Player Tags: Juha Helppi, Carlos Mortensen, Greg Raymer, Jason Young, Joe Sebok Level 1 - Hour 2 Update: Talal Shakerchi Wins Big PotJul 04, '09 Blinds: 50-100 Chip Counts: 1. Dave D’Alesandro — 64,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Stephen Murphy – 29,250 Notable Eliminations: None Big Hands David Pham vs. Jason Young With just about 1,000 already in the pot, David Pham bets 600 on an AK9 flop, Jason Young calls.

Juha Helppi Adds to Stack On a board of J532, a player bet 2,500 into Juha Helppi. Helppi went into the tank and threw out a raise to 7,500. Helppi’s opponent went into the tank as well and eventually made the fold. Helppi asked, “did you fold kings?” Helppi is at 37,000. Talal Shakerchi Wins Big Pot On a board of K4JK, Talal Shakerchi bet 2,500 and his opponent min-raised to 5,000. Shakerchi deliberated momentarily before making the call. The river brought the 8 and Shakerchi bet 4,000 into the large pot. His opponent reraised to 10,000 and Shakerchi made the quick call. He tabled the JJ for jacks full while his opponent turned over the KQ for trip kings. Shakerchi is up to 60,000. Brian ‘tsarrast’ Rast and Erik Seidel Tangle With what might be perhaps the toughest combination of two players sitting right next to each other in the field over over 1,000 players, Erik Seidel had the button against Brian Rast’s small blind. Seidel threw out a raise from the button and Rast called. The board ran out 8455A and Seidel bet 600 on the end. Rast contemplated briefly before calling. Seidel turned over the A8 for top two. Rast Mucked. Seidel is at 30,500. Left in the Deck Players are on a twenty-minute break and will return at approximately 2:25 pm PDT to begin Level 2. Player Tags: Juha Helppi, David Pham, Erik Seidel, Jason Young, Brian Rast Level 9 Hour 2 Update: Dewey Tomko EliminatedJul 08, '09 Blinds: 500-100 with a 100 ante Players Remaining: 630 out of 1476 Chip Counts: 1. Eric Cloutier – 384,000 CardPlayer Chip Counts: Ciaran O’Leary – 48,500 Average Chip Count Day 2A: 97,650 Notable Eliminations: Dewey Tomko Big Hands: Dewey Tomko Eliminated Dewey Tomko looked down at the AJ and open-shoved for 17,000. A player in the small blind called with the 99 and the two players were off to a race. They were not even close to racing anymore as the flop came 963, putting Tomko drawing dead with no runner-runner draws. The board completed with the meaning less J and 8. Juha Helppi Eliminated Juha Helppi and the big stack of Eric Cloutier got all the money in preflop with Helppi tabling pocket kings. Cloutier exposed pocket aces and Helppi failed to improve, exiting the tournament right before the day ended. Eric Cloutier is the tournament chip leader with 384,000 to end the day. Luca Pagano Moves All In A player in late position bet 2,400 and Andrew Brokos made the call from the button. Action was one Luca Pagano in the small blind. He elected to move all in for 33,800 over the small preflop bet of 2,400. The initial raiser folded and Andrew Brokos went into the tank. He eventually mucked and Pagano took down the pot. Jim Bechtel Doubles Up Jim Bechtel moved all in for 10,700 on a flop of 942 and was called by the 97 of an opponent. Bechtel exposed the way in front Q9. The 3 hit the turn, giving Bechtel’s opponent a flush draw. However, none of those outs came as the Q fell on the river. Bechtel is now at 26,000. Craig Gray Eliminated Craig Gray checked to his opponent on a board of 653J. His opponent threw out a bet and Gray check-raised all in. His opponent contemplated briefly before making the call with the QJ. Gray was disgusted as he tabled the 77 for a bad misstep. Gray was drawing very thin and the 9 on the river ended his 2009 main event. Pamela Brunson Wins Big Double Up Pamela Brunson and her opponent got all the chips into the middle preflop. Brunson exposed kings but was up against the aces of an unknown player. However, Brunson caught up as she flopped a king. The turn and river were safe for her and she doubled to 135,000. Left in the Deck: Players have just finished playing hand for hand and day 2A is now complete.

Jaka mucked but seat 7 made the call. Farha turned over 77. Seat 7 showed AQ and they were off to the races. Seat 7 spiked an ace on the flop when it came AJ2. The turn offered no help to Farha as it was the K. The river was the 7 and Farha pulled off his miracle and doubled up to 32,000. Helppi Picks Off A Bluff After the river was dealt, the board read A10284. The player in seat 7 bet 4,200 and Helppi made the call. “Good call,” seat 7 said as he showed Helppi K-J for a busted straight draw. Helppi turned over 86 for just a pair of eights and took down the pot. He was at 81,000. Sometimes, It’s Good When You Miss The player in seat 2 raised to 1,500 from the cutoff and Todd Brunson made the call from the small blind. The flop came down K96 and both players checked. The turn was the 6 and Brunson checked. The cutoff bet 3,500 and Brunson came along. The river was the 2 and Brunson checked again. The cutoff fired another shot, this one 6,000. Brunson finally released his hand into the muck and his opponent showed KK for a full house. “I’m lucky I missed,” Brunson said after seeing the hand. He was down to 40,000. Erik Cajelais Caught With Counterfeit Diamonds Erik Cajelais raised from the button and the big blind called. The flop was K22. The big blind checked and Cajelais bet 4,000. The big blind raised all in to 22,000. Cajelais made the call with 65. The big blind tabled A10 and Cajelais’ flush draw was rendered useless. The turn was the 9 and the river was the 3 and neither player hit anything, giving the big blind the double up with ace-high. Cajelais was at 60,000. Shaun Deeb Annihilated By Rockets Shaun Deeb raised to 13,000 and then Corwin Cole repopped it to 30,000. Deeb then shoved for 60,000. Cole made the call and tabled AA. Deeb showed down A9 and was in deep trouble. The board ran out JJ10K8 and Deeb threw away 600 big blinds in the blink of an eye and was eliminated. Michael Gracz Doubles Up Michael Gracz moved all in for 14,000 preflop and was called by one player. Gracz showed 55 while his opponent tabled A7. The board ran out K1068Q and Gracz doubled up to 28,000. Hoyt Corkins Doubles Again And His Stack Nothing To Mess With Now A late position player put in a raise preflop and Hoyt Corkins called from the big blind. The small blind came along as well and the flop was J75. Action was checked to the late position player who bet out. The small blind called and Corkins moved in for 30,000. The small blind was the only caller and tabled KK. Corkins showed 98 for just a double belly-buster straight draw. The turn was the A and Corkins had one foot out the door. But the river was the 10 and Corkins cracked the cowboys, making his straight and doubling to over 70,000.

The turn didn’t give him anything as it was the 10, but the A on the river made Sebok his flush and he knocked out his opponent, pushing his stack to 64,000. Raymer Straightens Out His Opponent A player raised to 950 and the player in the cutoff made the call. The action was then on Greg Raymer on the button, who raised to 3,500. Everyone folded except the cutoff and the flop was 987. Both players checked and saw the 10 fall on the turn. The cutoff bet 5,000 and Raymer made the call. The river was the 2 and the action was checked to Raymer. He bet another 5,000 and the cutoff called. Raymer tabled KJ for a straight and the cutoff mucked. Raymer raked in the pot and was at 48,000. Mortensen Getting Short On a board reading J96Q, Carlos Mortensen bet 5,000. Another player raised to 13,000 and Mortensen made the call. The river was the 2 and the player shoved his entire stack, having Mortensen covered. Mortensen then mucked pocket nines face up, giving up his set. The other player showed K10 for the flush and took the pot, knocking out another player in the hand. Mortensen was down to just 12,000. Helppi’s Pocket Kings Hold Up, Even With an Ace on Board Juha Helppi raised to 900 under the gun and got four callers. The flop came AJ6 and everybody checked around. The turn was the 6 and everybody checked again. The river brought the 6 and now Helppi put out a bet of 1,150 and it folded around to the player in the small blind who cut out a call and put the chips in. Helppi tabled KK and his opponent mucked his cards. Kravchenko and Raymer Mixing it Up After some preflop action, three players, including Alex Kravchenko and Greg Raymer see a flop of AQ2. Kravchenko bet 1,500, there was a fold and then Raymer made the call. The turn was the K and both players checked. The river was the 6 and Kravchenko checked again. Raymer bet 4,000 and after a few moments, Kravchenko mucked. Raymer tabled the AQ, good for two pair. Just a few hands later, these same two players were sparring again. Raymer checked and called a bet from Kravchenko on the turn and a third player came along for the river. The final board read KJ9K8. Raymer checked, the other player checked and Kravchenko bet 3,000. Raymer quickly made the call and the third party got out of the way. Kravchenko showed AK and Raymer mucked. Round 2 goes to Kravchenko. Jason Young Gets Bluffed A player under the gun made it 900 to go and got three callers, including Jason Young who called from the button. The flop was K64 and the under the gun player bet 2,100. After there were two folds in between, Jason Young opted to raise to 5,150. After some thought, the under the gun player tossed in the call. The 7 fell on the turn and both players checked. The 2 was the river card and now the original preflop raiser bets 9,000. “You got two aces?” asked Young before he mucks his hand. His read was a little off as his opponent showed the 54, for just a pair of fours. Left In The Deck: It was just announced that 873 players registered for Day 1b of the main event, with 720 remaining. This is down from 1,158 players that registered on Day 1b last year. It appears that people just don’t want to spend their 4th of July holiday in the poker room. Player Tags: Juha Helppi, Carlos Mortensen, Greg Raymer, Jason Young, Joe Sebok Level 1 - Hour 2 Update: Talal Shakerchi Wins Big PotJul 04, '09 Blinds: 50-100 Chip Counts: 1. Dave D’Alesandro — 64,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Stephen Murphy – 29,250 Notable Eliminations: None Big Hands David Pham vs. Jason Young With just about 1,000 already in the pot, David Pham bets 600 on an AK9 flop, Jason Young calls. The turn is the 9, and this time Pham bets 1,200, Young calls. The river is the J, Pham bets 3,000 and Young calls. Pham shows AK for top two pair while Jason Young flashes the A as he tosses his cards into the muck. “The Dragon” is up to 35,000 in chips after this hand. Juha Helppi Adds to Stack On a board of J532, a player bet 2,500 into Juha Helppi. Helppi went into the tank and threw out a raise to 7,500. Helppi’s opponent went into the tank as well and eventually made the fold. Helppi asked, “did you fold kings?” Helppi is at 37,000. Talal Shakerchi Wins Big Pot On a board of K4JK, Talal Shakerchi bet 2,500 and his opponent min-raised to 5,000. Shakerchi deliberated momentarily before making the call. The river brought the 8 and Shakerchi bet 4,000 into the large pot. His opponent reraised to 10,000 and Shakerchi made the quick call. He tabled the JJ for jacks full while his opponent turned over the KQ for trip kings. Shakerchi is up to 60,000. Brian ‘tsarrast’ Rast and Erik Seidel Tangle With what might be perhaps the toughest combination of two players sitting right next to each other in the field over over 1,000 players, Erik Seidel had the button against Brian Rast’s small blind. Seidel threw out a raise from the button and Rast called. The board ran out 8455A and Seidel bet 600 on the end. Rast contemplated briefly before calling. Seidel turned over the A8 for top two. Rast Mucked. Seidel is at 30,500. Left in the Deck Players are on a twenty-minute break and will return at approximately 2:25 pm PDT to begin Level 2. Player Tags: Juha Helppi, David Pham, Erik Seidel, Jason Young, Brian Rast Level 9 Hour 2 Update: Dewey Tomko EliminatedJul 08, '09 Blinds: 500-100 with a 100 ante Players Remaining: 630 out of 1476 Chip Counts: 1. Eric Cloutier – 384,000 CardPlayer Chip Counts: Ciaran O’Leary – 48,500 Average Chip Count Day 2A: 97,650 Notable Eliminations: Dewey Tomko Big Hands: Dewey Tomko Eliminated Dewey Tomko looked down at the AJ and open-shoved for 17,000. A player in the small blind called with the 99 and the two players were off to a race. They were not even close to racing anymore as the flop came 963, putting Tomko drawing dead with no runner-runner draws. The board completed with the meaning less J and 8. Juha Helppi Eliminated Juha Helppi and the big stack of Eric Cloutier got all the money in preflop with Helppi tabling pocket kings. Cloutier exposed pocket aces and Helppi failed to improve, exiting the tournament right before the day ended. Eric Cloutier is the tournament chip leader with 384,000 to end the day. Luca Pagano Moves All In A player in late position bet 2,400 and Andrew Brokos made the call from the button. Action was one Luca Pagano in the small blind. He elected to move all in for 33,800 over the small preflop bet of 2,400. The initial raiser folded and Andrew Brokos went into the tank. He eventually mucked and Pagano took down the pot. Jim Bechtel Doubles Up Jim Bechtel moved all in for 10,700 on a flop of 942 and was called by the 97 of an opponent. Bechtel exposed the way in front Q9. The 3 hit the turn, giving Bechtel’s opponent a flush draw. However, none of those outs came as the Q fell on the river. Bechtel is now at 26,000. Craig Gray Eliminated Craig Gray checked to his opponent on a board of 653J. His opponent threw out a bet and Gray check-raised all in. His opponent contemplated briefly before making the call with the QJ. Gray was disgusted as he tabled the 77 for a bad misstep. Gray was drawing very thin and the 9 on the river ended his 2009 main event. Pamela Brunson Wins Big Double Up Pamela Brunson and her opponent got all the chips into the middle preflop. Brunson exposed kings but was up against the aces of an unknown player. However, Brunson caught up as she flopped a king. The turn and river were safe for her and she doubled to 135,000. Left in the Deck: Players have just finished playing hand for hand and day 2A is now complete. Player Tags: Juha Helppi, Dewey Tomko, James Bechtel Sr., Luca Pagano, Eric Cloutier, Craig Gray, Andrew Brokos, Pamela Brunson Level 7 Hour 1 Update: Sam Farha Doubles UpJul 07, '09 Blinds: 300-600 with a 75 ante Players Remaining: 3,956 of 6,494 Chip Counts: 1. Samer Rahman – 235,000 CardPlayer Chip Counts: Todd Brunson – 41,000 Notable Eliminations: Jason Mercier Big Hands: The River Is Good To Farha After a series of raises between Sam Farha, Karga Holt and seat 7, Farha moved all in for 11,550. Jaka mucked but seat 7 made the call. Farha turned over 77. Seat 7 showed AQ and they were off to the races. Seat 7 spiked an ace on the flop when it came AJ2. The turn offered no help to Farha as it was the K. The river was the 7 and Farha pulled off his miracle and doubled up to 32,000. Helppi Picks Off A Bluff After the river was dealt, the board read A10284. The player in seat 7 bet 4,200 and Helppi made the call. “Good call,” seat 7 said as he showed Helppi K-J for a busted straight draw. Helppi turned over 86 for just a pair of eights and took down the pot. He was at 81,000. Sometimes, It’s Good When You Miss The player in seat 2 raised to 1,500 from the cutoff and Todd Brunson made the call from the small blind. The flop came down K96 and both players checked. The turn was the 6 and Brunson checked. The cutoff bet 3,500 and Brunson came along. The river was the 2 and Brunson checked again. The cutoff fired another shot, this one 6,000. Brunson finally released his hand into the muck and his opponent showed KK for a full house. “I’m lucky I missed,” Brunson said after seeing the hand. He was down to 40,000. Erik Cajelais Caught With Counterfeit Diamonds Erik Cajelais raised from the button and the big blind called. The flop was K22. The big blind checked and Cajelais bet 4,000. The big blind raised all in to 22,000. Cajelais made the call with 65. The big blind tabled A10 and Cajelais’ flush draw was rendered useless. The turn was the 9 and the river was the 3 and neither player hit anything, giving the big blind the double up with ace-high. Cajelais was at 60,000. Shaun Deeb Annihilated By Rockets Shaun Deeb raised to 13,000 and then Corwin Cole repopped it to 30,000. Deeb then shoved for 60,000. Cole made the call and tabled AA. Deeb showed down A9 and was in deep trouble. The board ran out JJ10K8 and Deeb threw away 600 big blinds in the blink of an eye and was eliminated. Michael Gracz Doubles Up Michael Gracz moved all in for 14,000 preflop and was called by one player. Gracz showed 55 while his opponent tabled A7. The board ran out K1068Q and Gracz doubled up to 28,000. Hoyt Corkins Doubles Again And His Stack Nothing To Mess With Now A late position player put in a raise preflop and Hoyt Corkins called from the big blind. The small blind came along as well and the flop was J75. Action was checked to the late position player who bet out. The small blind called and Corkins moved in for 30,000. The small blind was the only caller and tabled KK. Corkins showed 98 for just a double belly-buster straight draw. The turn was the A and Corkins had one foot out the door. But the river was the 10 and Corkins cracked the cowboys, making his straight and doubling to over 70,000.
