Welcome to Day 2 of $250,000 Super High Roller Bowl Russia
The second day of Event #8: $250,000 Super High Roller Bowl Russia is slated to begin at 2 p.m. (MSK) with 23 of the 34 entries returning from Day 1 minimum as the late registration period is still open for another level here on Day 2 and more players are expected to jump in during this time.
Starting the day off as chipleader is Jason Koon with 745,000 after his best Day 1 performance of the series. Close behind Koon on the totem pole is Triton Poker co-founder Paul Phua who bagged a healthy-sized 666,500 by night’s end and will be in hunt of his fifth final table during this Sochi Series.
Rounding out the top three is one of the best in the world in Stephen Chidwick who hasn’t had the best of weeks but will be starting Day 2 in a prime position to turn it around with his 598,500 in chips. Chidwick has been a high roller regular for as long as most can remember, amassing over $34 million in career earnings along the way and will be looking to bump that number up here in the main event.

Triton Poker co-founder Richard Yong and his son Wai Kin Yong are both expected to jump back into the action during the late registration period today. A few others that might hit the late registration button include Wiktor Malinowski, Wai Leong Chan, Juan Pardo Dominguez, and Kahle Burns. One player that will most certainly be joining in the festivities is all-time money list leader Bryn Kenney who was eliminated late on Day 1 when his pocket aces fell to the queens of Phua during the last few hands of the night.
A total of 34 have joined thus far, creating an $8,500,000 prize pool that will only go up as late registration is still open for another level of play. The total prize pool and payouts will be posted shortly after the re-entry period has closed for the tournament.
The second day of the Super High Roller Bowl Russia will begin at 2 p.m. (MSK) and a feature table will be running from the start of the day, putting all updates on a 60-minute delay to coordinate with the stream.
