Antonio Ma Wins Event #9: $2,000 High Roller ($16,620)
Event #9: $2k HR Winner Antonio M After nearly 7 hours of play, Antonio Ma has bested the rest to take home his first PPT trophy. Him and Larry Quon made a deal with Quon receiving $150 extra to push his finish up to $10,000. Ma got the lion share $16,620 of the $30,780 total prize pool. Michael Bernstein was the other cashing player earning himself $4,160 and outlasting the rest of the 18 player field.
Ma had a dominant final table picking up the chip lead and never looking back. He used measured aggression to steal chips and call off all ins with great success. Bubble play slowed down with multiple players finding tournament saving doubles. However, Weston Pring would fall short to leave the previously mentioned players to collect their split of the prize pool. At that point Ma had over 80% of the chips in play.
Larry Quon HR Day 2 Immediately following this elimination and subsequent 30 minute break, Bernstein got sent home running his King-Jack into Ma’s suited Ace-Ten. Both Larry Quon and Antonio Ma agreed to chop and the tournament was went from the bubble to over in rapid succession.

Jack Dick Leads the Way to Day 2
Event 9: $2,000 High Roller Day 1 ($1,800 + $200/$100 for early entries) Date: May 20/21, 4 PM/1 PM Blinds: 40 Minutes Starting Stack: 40k Late Entry: Two Levels into Day 2 (~2:35 PM on Day 2) Day 1 Ends: 9 Levels (~10:30 PM) Day 1 of the High Roller is in the books with 14 entries and $23,940 in prizes so far. The discounted reg-fee is back in play until the start of play on Day 2, so I expect a few players to take advantage of that to buy in for more than 25 big blinds on Day 2.
The action gets underway at 1 PM, and the discounted rate is only available until cards go in the air. Players can still enter for the first two levels of Day 2, however, at the full price of $2k.
Alek Gillies will be on the floor with this game as his main focus all day.

High Roller Action on Tuesday with Discounts!
Event 9: $2,000 High Roller Day 1 ($1,800 + $200/$100 for early entries) Date: May 20/21, 4 PM/1 PM Blinds: 40 Minutes Starting Stack: 40k Late Entry: Two Levels into Day 2 (~2:35 PM on Day 2) Day 1 Ends: 9 Levels (~10:30 PM) While the main game on Tuesday will be the final day of the 6-Max game, there’s some pretty big action on the side as well. Starting at 4 PM, the High Rollers swing into action for nine levels of Day 1 play. Entries are open until the start of Level 12, on Day 2, so the entry desk will be open for the entirety of Day 1 play.
There’s a bit of a twist on this one when players buy in — early birds who buy into the action before the start of play on either day will get a $100 discount on the registration fee, for a discounted buy-in of $1,900. The full price is in effect as long as cards are in the air, and players taking advantage of the discounted early bird special should be aware their stack will be in play from the first hand of the day, whether they are in their seats or not.
This would normally be where I’d say “this game won’t get much coverage …” but since this is the High Roller, I’m calling up my second string, Alek Gillies, to cover the HR action from start to end.

Jack Dick Leads the Way to Day 2
Event 9: $2,000 High Roller Day 1 ($1,800 + $200/$100 for early entries) Date: May 20/21, 4 PM/1 PM Blinds: 40 Minutes Starting Stack: 40k Late Entry: Two Levels into Day 2 (~2:35 PM on Day 2) Day 1 Ends: 9 Levels (~10:30 PM) Day 1 of the High Roller is in the books with 14 entries and $23,940 in prizes so far. The discounted reg-fee is back in play until the start of play on Day 2, so I expect a few players to take advantage of that to buy in for more than 25 big blinds on Day 2.
The action gets underway at 1 PM, and the discounted rate is only available until cards go in the air. Players can still enter for the first two levels of Day 2, however, at the full price of $2k.
Alek Gillies will be on the floor with this game as his main focus all day.
