Welcome to Day 2 of the $250,000 PSPC Super High Roller
After a brisk four levels of play on Day 1 of the $250,000 PokerStars Players Championship Super High Roller, it was Russia's Artur Martirosian who topped the star-studded field with a stack of 726,000. Next closest was Chris Brewer (547,500) and Henrik Hecklen (465,000) to round out the top three.
A total of 23 unique players joined the action on Day 1 with two needing rebuys to create a massive $6,088,500 prize pool. Late registration and rebuys are still open until the start of Level 9, so that number will be sure to grow.
Many of the best from around the globe took their seat in this prestigious high roller event and some who were fortunate to find a healthy stack include Orpen Kisacikoglu (444,500), Aleksejs Ponakovs (349,500) and recent PokerStars Caribbean Adventure High Roller Champion Isaac Haxton (349,000).

Day 1 Action
Day 1 started with fireworks in the first couple of hands between Martirosian who found a massive double up off of Andrew Lichtenberger, who held kings. Martirosian rivered the nut-flush with ace-king to leave Lichtenberger with a few big blinds and soon after would hit the exit as the first casualty.
Later in the day Seth Davies would be on the unfortunate end of a bad beat when he called the all in from Kathy Lehne who flopped trip fours holding king-four. Davies had ace-four for the better kicker, but when the river fell the king it was the rivered full house for Lehne that took half of Davies' stack.
Day 2 resumes at 2 p.m. EST with blinds at 1,000/2,500 and a 2,500 big blind ante. There will be ten more one-hour levels played until the remaining players will bag for Day 3 on Thursday, February 2nd at 12:30 p.m.
