Yesterday, that winner-take-all event was played out with all 6 players making it. Nick Petrangelo took down the lot, banking $100,000. He just signed up for this $100,000 Super High Roller event, so he's basically freerolling.

PokerStars Team Pro Daniel Negreanu just entered the tournament room on his little scooter, presumably because he injured one of his legs. Also in attendance, just walking into the tournament room, is French high roller aficionado Jean-Noel Thorel.

With around 24,000 in the pot and a board reading , Orpen Kisacikoglu bet 10,000 from the hijack and Christopher Kruk called from the cutoff.
When the completed the board on the river, Kisacikoglu fired out 46,000 and Kruk mulled it over for a bit before dropping in a call.
Kisacikoglu rolled over the for two pair, and it was good as Kruk sent his hand to the muck.

Bryn Kenney, who killed it in 2017 thanks in no small part to a heater at last year's PCA, just jumped into the field.
Likewise, Kevin Hart, the star of current box office hit Jumanji, has also taken his seat.
