The March to the Final Table Begins on Day 2 of the €100,000 Super High Roller
![[user76023]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome back to Day 2 of the 2014 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €100,000 Super High Roller. There are 37 players remaining out of the initial 59 entries, but that number could increase given that players can still register until the start of play today. Anyone who enters today would still have over 40 big blinds, so it seems likely that at least a couple of players will chose to take another shot at this huge event.
Philipp Gruissem, the High Roller specialist, currently leads the tournament with 1,038,000 ahead of Ping Sang Chan (938,000) and Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu (915,000). The field was made up of some of the best players in the world so it would be unfair (and almost impossible) to exclude anyone in particular from having a shot at the title.
When registration closes at midday we should be able to get the full prize pool for this massive event and what seven-figure sum the winner will be taking home. The plan for today is to play down to the final table of eight players, however long that may take.
The tournament is scheduled to start at 12 p.m., so stayed tuned for all the latest news and updates from this tournament. Pokerstars.tv will also be showing live streaming from the start of play, so be sure to tune in to watch the action from the feature table.
New Arrivals
So far there have been three more entries into the event. Mike Watson has rebought while David Peters and Full Tilt Poker Professional Gus Hansen are both entering for the first time.

Big Three-Way All-In Pot at the Feature Table
Nível 9
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
We're only a few minutes into Day 2, and already there has been a big cooler. It happened over at the feature table between Ole Schemion, Paul Newey, and Mike "Timex" McDonald.
It began when Schemion opened for 14,000 under the gun only to have Newey three-bet to 40,000 from the cutoff. When action reached McDonald in the big blind, he moved all in for 178,000. Schemion asked how much Newey had back (it was 209,000) and then moved all in over the top. Newey found himself between a rock and a hard place, but after thinking about it for a few moments he decided to call off.
Newey: 
Schemion: 
McDonald: 
McDonald woke up with kings at the perfect time, but of course he needed to dodge an ace, queen, and spades. As for Newey, he was looking for some help to stay alive against Schemion in the side pot. The 
flop was dry, though Newey tried to find the silver lining.
"There's a spade," he said, referencing his shot of hitting a runner-runner flush. Unfortunately for him, those hopes died when the 
blanked on the turn. The 
river failed to change anything, and Schemion took down the 62,000 side pot to eliminate Newey, while McDonald tripled with the 544,000 main pot.

Early Double for Hansen
Nível 9
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Full Tilt Poker Professional Gus Hansen paid his €100,000 entry fee and sat down with 40 big blinds. On the third hand his table had played he opened under-the-gun for 16,000. PokerStars Team Online player Isaac Haxton was in the Hijack and he stared Hansen down for a while before making it 44,000. The other players folded and Hansen bounced around in his seat before making the call.
The flop was 
. Hansen spread his chips on the felt in front of him and picked out a bet of 46,000. Haxton went in the tank and took a couple of minutes to make his decision, When he reached it he announced, “All in.”
Hansen put his chips across the line to call.
Haxton tabled 
but Hanen had out flopped him with a straight.
“I think it’s nice.” said Hansen and it remained nice as turn 
river 
put a dent in Haxton’s stack and doubled up the great Dane.
