It’s not uncommon for a player to come out of nowhere, take the lead and stay there for a while, but at some point you expect the run to falter. Not so with Anton Bertilsson today in the €25K High Roller event in Dublin.
It’s not that Bertilsson is unknown to us – the Swede came second at EPT Prague in Season 11, missing out to Stephen Graner, and has since scored well in EPT side events. But today his attention was well and truly on bigger things, and the high roller, which he leads tonight with 1,375,000.
So he’ll be the player to beat when play restarts tomorrow, the point where this event switches from an all-welcome jamboree to a freezeout.
Nick Petrangelo 878,000
Kim Wittendorf 852,000
Timothy Adams 729,000
Davidi Kitai 696,000
Charlie Carrel 613,000
Daniel Dvoress 565,000
Jason Mercier 555,000
Paul Newey 482,000
Sam Chartier 469,000
David Peters 461,000
Chance Kornuth, Andrew Lichtenberger, Mike McDonald, Daniel Dvoress, Max Silver, and Steve O’Dwyer could vouch for that. They were among those firing second bullets at this event having found the first one to be a dud. O’Dwyer also lost all that his second bullet could bring, and that’s that for him.
