High Roller PLO Tournament: Daniel Negreanu Eliminates Two Bullets from Competition
Re-Spinning the PLO Super High Roller Bowl Drama π
The PokerGO Studio at the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas is lighting up with high-stakes action, as poker heavyweights gather for the biggest PLO tournament of the year: the $100k buy-in SHRB.
Contenders include Jared Bleznick, who's aiming to defend the title he won last year, alongside the likes of Jason Koon, Alex Foxen, Ike Haxton, Joni Jouhkimainen, and Ben Tollerene, to name a few.
A Brutal Day for DNegs β οΈ
It wasn't exactly a chip-up day for some of the top players. Daniel Negreanu, for one, ended up on the losing side after two hard-fought rounds.
In his second encounter, he faced off against Jason Koon, their hands revealing:
Negreanu: Aβ¦ Kβ₯ Qβ 6β Koon: Aβ₯ 9β£ 8β¦ 6β₯
The flop: 10β₯ Aβ 7β£
Negreanu, who aimed to become the first to scoop both NLH and PLO versions of the Super High Roller Bowl, made it to the river shove with just the action from Koon.
Turn: 3β₯
River: 5β₯
...but alas, his hand was no match for Koon's, as his river shove was promptly picked off, marking his exit from the game, regretfully without a second re-buy.
Foxen's and Others' Exit πͺ
Sadly, it wasn't just Negreanu who was shown the door on day one - Alex Foxen, Nick Schulman, and Jesse Lonis also took their leave. Lonis, armed with a flopped pair of kings, failed to hold up against Artem Maksimov's flopped set of kings.
Millionaire Top Prize Awaits π°
With late registration on day two, a total of 42 entries were secured, a slight increase from the previous year, ensuring a juicy prizepool for the lucky seven players who claim the top spots...
Chip Count Battles ππ
As of now, only 13 players remain in the race for the prestigious title. The current leaderboard has Bleznick, who fired two bullets, out in front, followed closely by Artem Maksimov. Meanwhile, Ike Haxton, Joni Jouhkimainen, and Jason Koon are fighting it out from the back of the pack.
