Alex Foxen Pulls Away as Chip Leader

The first and only player to top four million chips in the High Roller Finale so far is Alex Foxen, who pushes John Duthie into second.  The field is still growing, and with two one-hour levels left of late registration, it looks like that $1,000,000 guarantee may yet be met

High Roller Finale: Chip Leaders

John Duthie has slightly extended his chip lead in the opening levels of Day 2 in the $10,300 High Roller Finale.  Creeping up on him in chips are both Alex Foxen and Kristen Bicknell (on different tables, for a change). Bicknell added a few chop-pot chips to her stack after taking

Burns Doubles Stokkan, Busts Bicknell

Kahle Burns (pictured) was just involved in two all in situations in a row vs. much shorter stacks. The first was a blind vs. blind match-up: Burns raised from the small blind with [Ad9d] and was shoved on (for c. 1.3 million) by big blind Prebe Stokkan, with [AhJd].  The
