Timothy Adams Leads Final Seven in Event #6
Seven players remain in Event #6: $50,000 No-Limit Hold’em from the 2022 Super High Roller Series Europe festival, and it’s a familiar face in Timothy Adams leading the way into Day 2. Adams is a two-time Super High Roller Bowl title holder, winning back-to-back SHRB events in Australia and Russia in 2020, and now eyes even more high roller success as he’s in pole position for the Event #6 title.
Event #6 at Super High Roller Series Europe has $731,000 up for grabs for the winner, and Adams will have to battle with a tough group of competitors to get first place. Sam Greenwood is second in chips, Jason Koon is third in chips, Artur Martirosyan is fourth in chips, Daniel Dvoress is fifth in chips, Viacheslav Buldygin in sixth in chips, and Tom Vogelsang is seventh in chips.
Adams secured the chip lead by knocking out Cary Katz on the money bubble to end Day 1. Katz moved all in with pocket eights and ran into Adams’ pocket queens. Katz was able to take the lead when he flopped a full house on the king-king-eight flop but a queen hit the turn and did him in.
All seven players remaining are in the money and guaranteed $86,000 in prize money.

Timothy Adams is having a quiet yet powerful year, already having won two events for a combined $1,125,811 despite not playing as full of a schedule as he once did. Adams won the €50,000 Super High Roller at EPT Prague and a $25,000 NL Hold’em Turbo at Super High Roller Series Europe.
Sam Greenwood finished fourth and eighth in events at Triton Poker Cyprus and will be looking to close this one out for what would be his first live tournament victory since December 2019.
Jason Koon is third in chips entering Day 2 and second on the Super High Roller Series leaderboard with 854 points. Although it will be hard for anyone, including Koon, to catch Phil Ivey and his 1,725 points, Koon could put another dent in Ivey’s lead by moving up the leaderboard in Event #6. Koon is making his sixth cash of the Triton Poker Cyprus and Super High Roller Series Europe festivals, with three third-place finishes in a row.
Tom Vogelsang is currently eighth on the series leaderboard after winning Event #1 of Super High Roller Series Europe and cashing in another tournament here in North Cyprus.
The final seven players will be back in action at the Merit Royal Hotel Casino & Spa in North Cyprus on Wednesday, April 13, for play to begin at 1 p.m. local time. Viewers from around the world can tune in to the PokerGO YouTube channel at 7 a.m. ET (4 a.m. PT) to watch this one play to a winner.

Cary Katz Bubbles Event #6: $50,000 No-Limit Hold’em
Cary Katz shoved for 225,000 from the hijack and Timothy Adams isolated from the small blind. Tom Vogelsang got out of the way.
Katz: [8h8d]
Adams: [QdQs]
The [KhKs8s] flop pulled Katz ahead, but the [Qh] was a dagger for him. He could only hope to hit the last eight on the river, but the [2c] eliminated him on the bubble.
“I always get the maximum pain,” Katz said before he left the table.

Artur Martirosyan open-shoved from the cutoff and Daniel Dvoress called for 340,000 from the big blind.
Martirosyan: [5h3h]
Dvoress: [JsJc]
The [6h6c6s] flop was pretty much as good as it gets for Dvoress, and the [Th] turn already confirmed his double. The [Kh] river couldn’t change anything.

Jake Schindler Eliminated in 9th Place
On the parallel hand to Soyza’s exit from Table 2, the other table saw an all-in situation too. Jason Koon raised to 35,000 from the cutoff, Jake Schindler three-bet shoved to 390,000 from the button, and Koon called.
Schindler: [KhTh]
Koon: [9d9s]
Koon’s pair held on the [Ac5c8hQd2c] board and Schindler was eliminated in 8th place.
The eight remaining players subsequently took seats at the last table, and the tournament continues on the direct bubble.

Michael Soyza (big blind) and Timothy Adams (under the gun) where on the [Td7s2c] flop and Soyza checked to Adams, who moved all in. Soyza called for his 180,000 or so.
Soyza: [Tc9s]
Adams: [QcJc]
The turn was the [Js] and Adams pulled ahead. The [Ad] river eliminated Soyza in 10th place.
