High Roller Heads-Up Report — Extra Day Added The £10,350 heads-up high roller event has reached the final match between Gus Hansen and Jim Collopy from an initial field of 103. The winner will take home the top prize worth £288,409 and the runner-up will take home £178,211 and some deflated hopes. First Match: The first round saw Hansen take control but Collopy held on to battle for quite some time before succumbing to a first-game loss. Second Match: This match started the same as the first with Hansen jumping out to a lead and Collopy struggling to catch up. Things went differently when he moved all in though. He doubled up twice to even up the chip counts and then he took control to win the second match and tie things up 1-1. When the score was evened it was 3 a.m. local time last night and the two decided to stop play and return today at a time to be determined. We will bring you updates from when play finally does begin anew and then keep you posted until a winner is crowned in this prestigious tournament.

However, fortunately both players were left relatively unscathed. With blinds at 50-100, the player in mid-position raised to 300. Frankenberger called, as did Shulman from the small blind. The big blind also came along for the ride and the flop came down 10-10-4. Shulman checked, the big blind bet 450, and the original bettor folded. Frankenberger made the call and then Shulman raised it up to 2,000. The two players called and the turn was a 7. Shulman bet 10,000 and the big blind folded. Frankenberger called and the river was a 4. Shulman then shoved all in and saw a call from Frankenberger. The river card meant the two would see a chopped pot as Shulman held A-10 and Frankenberger held Q-10. A lucky escape for Frankenberger as both players’ stacks hover around the 35,000 mark. Early Skirmish An unusually large pot transpired during the opening minute of play when Eli Elezra bet 1,000 on a 9 The turn fell A David Benyamine Eliminates Saar Wilf After minimal action to open the pot, a 10-8-6 flop sat on the table with two hearts when David Benyamine bet and Saar Wilf made the call. The turn brought a 4 and Benyamine bet again. This time Wilf raised and Benyamine reraised all in. Wilf made the call for his tournament life and flipped over pocket tens for the set. Benyamine revealed 7-5 for a straight and he won the hand, grew his stack to 65,000, and eliminated Wilf.
