In the main event yesterday Ludovic Geilich was telling his table how he only got chips by bluffing and the odds of him getting aces or kings was 1000-1. Careful what you wish for.
An early piece of bad luck has proved very costly for Niall Farrell. When we joined the action, it looked as though Farrell had called a raise on the flop before checking the turn against Aleksandr Denisov.
Denisov bet 16,500 and Farrell made the call to see the on the river where the Scot checked again. Denisov bet 22,300 and Farrell thought for about twenty seconds before calling.
Denisov showed for two pair and Farrell could only shake his head and manage a wry smile. The latter was left with just 800 chips and busted shortly afterwards.
The small blind limped and Vamplew from the big blind made it 800 to go. They saw a flop of and when it was checked to Vamplew he bet 1,000 and took it down.
We’re under way at the High Roller and the tables are slowly filling up with 28 players so far. Play begins when there are three players at the table and there are a few tables where two players are kicking their heels.
