Chance Kornuth
Adrian Mateos did not return in the $250,000 World Series of Poker Super High Roller.
The Madrid native started the second day second from last in the standings, albeit much lower due to the full effect of late registration.
14 newcomers helped them fill some gaps created by the lottery for empty seats. Adrian welcomes Daniel Negreanu and Leon Sturm to his table despite no one to fill in for Jason Koon, who retired from the game and flew to the hospital to meet his wife who is about to give birth .
The official number of participants is thus 69, a significant improvement over the class of 2,022, which in turn led to a significant increase in the number of participants. The tournament winner will win more than $5,000,000 in prize money.
We already told you, it won’t be Adrian. The Spaniard is cautious at odd tables against Haxton, Petrangelo or Chidwick. He finished stealing the blinds at the pace of his level and waited for a break before readjusting his options.
His new table seems more favorable. After enjoying his first break, Adrian stepped in and all seemed to be going well until he had to concede against Martin Cabrell to bring his points back to 1,000,000 point.
A similar thing happened with Phil Ivey on the bubble, who had the same stack as Adri at 20BB, decided the chip leader wasn’t willing to take any chances and went on the button hit A3. Kabhrel makes instant calls via QQ.
Chance Kornuth is the player most able to burst the bubble. “I hope this bubble never ends,” he posted on social media, and despite reaching the finish line, he continued to hit the ball until the final table was set and in his hands.
