We have reached the final table at the EPT Grand Final 25K High Rollers Event and Phil Ivey will not be part of the festivities.
A few minutes after Ivey's elimination, Daniel Negreanu took to Twitter and stated that Phil Ivey was playing so well, it would take a big-time cooler to take him out ... well, that's exactly what happened when Ivey's KK ran into 100K Super High Roller Champ Justin Bonomo's KQ and then a unfavourable board hit sending Ivey to the rail.
Negreanu (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-601st) and Bonomo (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-41st) will certainly be ones to watch on Tuesday, the two do have history together - they used to host a radio show together on Poker Road.
After entering the 100K Super High Rollers as the chip leader, Bonomo, incredibly, will do so again on Tuesday, he is assured of a second major result in a week.
European High Roller king Philipp Gruissem (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: NR) will start the day third in chips. Gruissem won EPT HR events at Barcelona and London in 2011, finishing the 2011 season in the Top 20 in points.
