The flop was dealt [qhjh3h] and both Daniels and Urbanovich checked. The turn was the [8s] and Daniels checked again. The partypoker PRO from Poland bet 375,000 and he was called by Daniels.
The river was the [6h] and Urbanovich rivered his flush. Daniels checked again and Urbanovich bet 475,000.

Delayed Updates
The tournament just kicked-off in the wonderful Enjoy resort & casino in Punta del Este, Uruguay. The live stream on PokerGO will start at 2 pm local time (9 am PT, 12 noon ET, 5 pm GMT) and the written updates will be on a 2-hour delay.
Niall Farrell and Rainer Kempe Still in the Race to Win $325,000
The first day of the $25,500 Super High Roller at the partypoker MILLIONS South America in the wonderful Enjoy resort & Casino in Punta del Este, Uruguay, attracted 27 players who fired a total of 35 bullets. Only fifteen of them remain at the start of the second and final day of the tournament at 12 noon local time as they battle for the first-place prize of $325,000. Only five players will end up taking home some cash with the player busting in fifth collecting $60,000.
Marty Mathis, champion of the 2019 partypoker MILLIONS South America Main Event is leading the pack with 4,315,000 but he is very closely followed by James Romero with 4,300,000. Niall Farrell, the leader of the Scottish all-time money list, sits in third with 3,600,000 and German High Roller regular Rainer Kempe had to settle for fourth with 3,205,000 after the first day.
Others that are still in contention include two partypoker sponsored players. Dzmitry Urbanovich starts the day in fifth with 2,675,000 and the other player repping the orange diamond is Joao Simao. Simao sits close to the bottom of the leaderboard with 1,395,000 and has a little under twenty big blinds at the start of the day.
The players will start with blinds at 40,000/80,000 and they will be using a button ante here in Uruguay. The button ante will be the size of the small blind when there is at least one table with five players or less. The levels will be 40 minutes and the plan is to play down to a winner.
Make sure to follow the action of the Super High Roller here and on the PokerGO live stream, as well as the coverage of Day 1a of the $10,300 Main Event that will kick-off today at 12 noon local time as well.

Marty Mathis Leads Uruguay’s Biggest Buy-in Tournament as 15 Players Remain
Last year’s partypoker MILLIONS South America Main Event winner Marty Mathis now leads the 2020 edition’s Super High Roller. Mathis, a player with legendary status, known as “TheLipoFund” online, bagged 4.315 million in chips as fifteen players survived Day 1 of the $25,500 buy-in two-day event.
Play got underway in Uruguay’s biggest buy-in tournament at 1 pm local time, with four players taking their seats. Before the first level was in the books, that number had grown to nine players, with more players joining the action throughout the day. A total of 27 unique players made for 35 entries in total.
Antonio Martinac was the first player to make use of the option to reenter and faired much better on his second bullet. Leo Fernandez followed Martinac to the buy-in desk for his second try, having run out of chips losing with a rivered set of queens to De Albuquerque’s turned straight.
Such famous players as bracelet winners Anthony Zinno, Yuri Martins Dzivielevski, and regular high rollers Robert Heidorn and Felix Bleiker tried their luck in the $25,500 buy-in tournament but exited well before the end of the day.
partypoker’s Dzmitry Urbanovich and Joao Simao shared a tabled for the last few levels and will both return tomorrow at noon for Day 2. Urbanovich brings 2.675 million in chips, while Simao will start with 1,395,000.
They both trail Marty Mathis, who bagged 4,315,000 in chips after twelve levels of play. Mathis is just ahead of James Romero, who entered halfway through the day and turned his 1,000,000 starting stack into 4.3 million. Mathis busted both Heidorn and Scholten to finish with the top stack in the room.
The fifteen remaining players vie for a part of the $848,750 prize pool. Ten players will leave Day 2 of the event empty-handed as the Top 5 take home a piece of the pie. The min-cash is worth $60,000, while the winner gets $325,000 and the trophy.
Check back tomorrow as coverage of the partypoker MILLIONS South America in Punta del Este gets underway at noon local time.
