Det kører ganske fint for Phil Ivey, der netop har nappet en runner up placering i €100.000 Short Deck Super High Roller til et cash på €826.500, og derefter har lagt sig i front som chip leader i event #8, €25.500 Platinum Highroller.
Phil Ivey er i front med 3.895.000 i chips (97 Big Blinds), lidt mere en kollegaen Timothy Adams, der har 91 Big Blinds. Også det svenske pokerikon Viktor Blom spiller med, han hænger dog i den dunge ende med 740.000 i chips, svarende til 19 BB.
Der er late registrering til klokken 12:00 i dag, så mon ikke der dukker et par kendte spillere op.
