A High Roller Champion Will Be Crowned Today!

Vanessa Selbst

There are still 14 players in the hunt for the $1,279,880 first place prize but as of right now everyone is guaranteed just $89,560. There's a lot of stake for the remaining players who are lead by none other than Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst. Selbst's poker accomplishments are nothing short of incredible and besides finishing third in the $100,000 Super High Roller earlier this week she's also defending champion in this one.

While all eyes will be on Selbst as she's looking to become the first back-to-back High Roller champion there are still tons of other players looking to attack her leading position. Portugese pro Joao Vieira showed that he can compete with the best all throughout yesterday and he comes into the day second in chips. Myro Garcia from Brazil is third followed by none other than 2012 WSOP Main Event Greg Merson. Merson's going for his third seven-figure score in the last two years and winning today would put him that much closer to the top 10 on the all-time money ranking.

Someone who's solidified his place in the top 10 of that ranking, Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu, is also very much alive in this event. Former GPI number 1 Marvin Rettenmaier, Rob Mizrachi, Dani Stern, Dan Smith and Ole Schemion are all coming into today hoping to put another million on their impressive list of tournament results. For high roller Paul Newey this result marks the biggest cash of his live poker career, but it will be a steep uphill battle today as he comes into the day last in chips.

PokerNews will be with you all throughout the day, and night, as the $25,000 High Roller event here at the PCA will crown a champion.

Bobby Zhang Wins Baby Dragon, Macau Poker Cup 20 Opens to Record Numbers

Nível 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

While the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) has been playing out in the Western Hemisphere, the ‘PokerStars LIVE Macau’ kicked off the 20th installment of the Macau Poker Cup (MPC) in the East with the series' biggest ever opening weekend.

The weekend saw the first three days of the 12-day schedule play out with the completion of three side events. Those events attracted a combined 743 players and awarded HK $2,456,622 in prize money. The most notable event was the HK $6,000 buy-in 'Baby Dragon' event, which attracted 332 runners and created a HK $1,739,016 prize pool. The tournament was ultimately won by 26-year-old Aussie Bobby Zhang, who took home the HK $340,800 first-place prize.

In the final hand, Zhang moved all-in holding the {9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and China's Stephen Zhou called off with the {6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. The board ran out {j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and Zhang’s two pair sealed the deal after more than 18 hours of play.

"Definitely feels great to win the first Baby Dragon in my first poker tournament of 2014." said the 26-year old Zhang.

.
"I'm really impressed with the Baby Dragon turnout and the player feedback has been tremendous." said Danny McDonagh, PokerStars Director of Live Poker Operations in the Asia-Pacific. "Our goal to have a 1000-plus field for the Red Dragon main event seems very likely."

Daniel Negreanu Eliminated in 14th Place ($89,560)

Nível 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

On one of the first hands of the day Greg Merson raised to 50,000 and Dani Stern called from the button. Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negrenau was seated in the big blind and he three-bet to 145,000.

Merson did not take long before moving all in and Stern folded immediately. Negreanu snap-called and a huge cooler was upon us.

"I don't think I could've played that any differently," Negreanu said with a smile as he found out in how much trouble he was.

Negreanu: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Merson: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Negreanu was knocked out in 14th place.

"I took some notes from you yesterday," Merson said with a smile to Ole Schemion who is sitting on his right.

"What?" Schemion responded, not understanding what Merson meant.

"Just cooler people," Merson said and Schemion started laughing.

Merson is now the tournament chip leader with just 13 players remaining.

European Poker Tour to Host Europe's Largest-Ever Poker Festival to Celebrate 100th Event

Nível 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

This August, the European Poker Tour (EPT) will celebrate it’s 100th event by throwing Europe’s largest-ever poker festival in Barcelona. From August 16 – 27, 2014, the Casino Barcelona will kick off Season 11 of the EPT, once again partnering up with the successful Spanish regional Estrellas Poker Tour from August 16 - 21 to create a spectacular 12-day Barcelona poker extravaganza.

“The EPT was born in Barcelona so it’s very fitting to celebrate EPT’s 100th event in true style and with unforgettable poker,” said EPT President Edgar Stuchly. “EPT Barcelona is one of the most popular tour stops and attracts players from all over the world for the fantastic mix of beaches, iconic architecture, party atmosphere and world class poker,” he continued.

Last year’s EPT Barcelona event broke all previous records when the Estrellas and EPT Main Events clocked 1,798 and 1,234 entries, sending Soenke Jahn and Tom “hitthehole” Middleton back home with career-besting prizes of €169,136 and €942,000 respectively. This year, the EPT is adding 20 extra tables to accommodate player fields that are likely to beat last year’s records.
