A day after a marathon session where we weren't able to get down to our final table of 8, the remaining 12 players in the High Rollers event were back at it on Saturday and this time, it didn't take long at all to trigger the action.
Within the first 90 minutes of play, the first five players (including Jonathan Duhamel and Andrew Lichtenberger) had hit the rail ... ElkY wasn't far behind them.
Ultimately, Laurent Polito (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 123rd) and Leonid "Alex" Bilokur (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 24th) duked it out for all the marbles with Polito coming out on top in the end.
For Bilokur, it was a second shot at a major High Rollers title on the EPT circuit in 2012 - he won the 25K HR at the PCA in the Bahamas.
German pro Tobias Renkemeier (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 129th), who like Bilokur has had a lot of success in High Roller events, started the day as the chip leader, but, wasn't able to do better than third on Saturday.
