2017

High Roller Bowl at the Aria Resort and Casino here in Las Vegas, one of the most anticipated stops on the entire poker circuit and this year it's bigger and better than ever.

First place for the cool $6,000,000 players. We have 56 of them and stars. power absolutely not only from the world of poker but from a huge celebrity as part of this talented field this year actor and comedian Kevin Hart joins the field he is not a fish he has not recently played a PokerStars high roller event in Monte Carlo the High roller veteran Justin Bonomo came to play complete with the fuchsia drink and that empty seat belongs to poker brat Phil Hellmuth himself, who is notoriously, if not predictably, late to the party, not the first time Phil has employed that strategy that Elena shot with Nick Schulman, we send it to our ton of a director Paul or they call how are you sir? at the moment.

I want to tell every player here that I don't wish them luck and I also want to tell the dealers to shuffle and deal to make it look like Paul is procrastinating. to Kevin Hart, who is asserting his early presence, that seems like reasonable deference. I like honesty with nobody, you know, good luck, we all tell each other that. Bachelor's degree in finance from Texas Tech, but now a professional poker player. Tolerance. He has been one of the brightest poker minds in the world for quite some time. 30 years young with 3.8 million in career tournament earnings in his name and it is temptation. of a suited connector for Kevin Hart in the small blind.

I just can't imagine Kevin Hart is here to fold suited, hit the act he's called and will be heads-up out of position against that brilliant poker mind he's been yelling about. As we head to our first flop here at the main table, which is an eight and two threes with a pair of flush draws with room for the heart salary, know that the ace and king are well ahead of the preflop range of Kevin. I think it's probably perceived that Kevin calls with a lot of speculative hands and forgiving shots mm here I can call it mm mm doubtful I can call that and here comes the turn it's a six Kevin now has the best hand with threes and sixes check once again a lovely card for Kevin naturally now has two pairs.

I think you'll see Ben use a mixed strategy here of betting and checking, and it looks like a checking thing. In the end I don't do Jack. No. I'm more of an independent guy. as a kid I drive myself crazy, maybe check, check, I can beat that and your face, huh, that's right, push the bear, they bite you, you pushed the cub, they bite you. I'm about to go for a walk. I see them well. We'll see you in 45 minutes and you can see the self-proclaimed chip leader here at the head table with a lot of pretty colors in his stack and let's break down exactly what those colors are, courtesy of a Dollar Shave Club 500. pink chips 1000 yellow chips 5000 for the birds blues a cool 25k on the green and the hundred thousand white chips oh oh oh okay, come on, I hope to see as you know, probably limping most of his small blinds playing pots with Kevin sure 8/3 off suit and Justin just shoot this paired board cuts the mess jack right I've got the best bet on a thousand three call on the turn and now down Oh kids, not a second pair, I think if you're in Justin's seat Can you imagine this pair of twos is well most of the time Kevin has 100% of the holdings checking the big blind and it's not so clear what he would call that thousand with on the flop, but I think Justin assumes it's a variety. of speculative combinations and I certainly think he will end up continuing here.

Check equals bed of 3,000. I think Kevin is going to try to get some value out of these jacks and deuces and it's a pretty annoying situation for Justin because one of the beautiful things about The Poker is when you have Kevin Hart on the field or some kind of wild card. Justin just doesn't have a great gauge of his tendencies in what he does with his hands and it's a long time coming to bend a ham like this, let's see what Kevin thinks about things. Going into this event, my approach is everyone can kiss me, yes, in fact, that's my approach, every last one of them can kiss me, okay, I'm going to go in there, raw, raw, uncut, okay, You don't know me, you don't know me.

I know who I am as a poker player, so I'm going to go in there mixing it up. I call, I call all-in push shove, that's the kind of lingo I use just to give you an idea, well, let's get back to the action here, face to face. flop of five four three we pick up the hand between heart and tolerant we are not with the ace high improving to the top pair on a drop wheel it is bad enough to defeat him another thing that I do a lot is called floor I just want Guys, you should know that I am known for organizing myself What are people saying online?

Welcome back to the 2017 Super High Roller Bowl at Aria Resort and Casino and let's head back to the main table where we find a hand in progress and just pick up the pace. in Turner, although still with that open ending straight with six high and taking the initiative before three betting and calling only with carry could be quite wide. Ish check calling this flop. I hope to see it, we all bet again, a good card for a preflop. The three-bet hand is just trying to represent unless of course you're up against that and he has such a weak part of his range with six highs, but having an open straight draw the chance to fold makes this be a very logical continuation. on the turn and the interesting street is the river if I were to block a three or a five or a ten of diamonds, what would we all do right?

That's far from a brick in the camp cats as he improves to triple aces and is now patented apparently a thousand chip donkey bet and he just made it with a middle pair and represents something like a possible queen jack or a queen king or something of that variety, I think if she all of us think Kerry has Queen to this Carrie with a little rope to drug to the incredible madness is a demand, for example, to be balanced in the second pair and then travel with the best at all times, okay, and that is not a good feeling when you continue Go ahead and blow up the bed at the end with all six.

I know it is what it is. you don't expect to see the six deuces and that's no is no, and let's take a look at some stats on Carrie Katz, originally from Atlanta, Georgia, age 47, found on Poker Central in 2015. Jerry Katz, courtesy of Amazon Coins, we'll get three. Mr. Beth Ghanim Oh, out of the small blind, but two fives and two sevens, a check, a bet, well, Garrus is in two, makes it Bonomo, sure enough, what was that three bet? What is the problem? Look at my letter, I just had Bonneville completely shocked by the jokes. no, he only has in mind what Kevin Hart can do, but of course, Bryn and not Ben, and we could have a three-way flop with quite a bit of meat, yes, this could be our first kind of decisive decision. pot that could potentially take a variety of paths and involve a lot of chips coming in, yeah, it's not really a petit filet, we're talking more about a rib, you're talking about a New York Strip here and I think Kerry doubled nine five offsuit It's not the best thing for Bryn, but of course, how would I know?

And vulgar is to have a block tolerance of seven, so it's very easy for sets on the flop to tolerate having the best preflop holding, but you realize that if you look at the percentages, its lower o's ace queen which is actually at 29% to win the pot at this point the blocker is at full strength and if Gareth got scared after Brenna's calls and it had been a slightly more suitable jack combination, he probably would have gone in Jackson Jack Jack nine Jack. ten, oh you're right, a little rough, yeah, and a good flop for everyone, not that if you have two fives you'll skip your partner, but he has the five of clubs which he certainly has a chance of having. the best hand has been tolerant of both with the straight tailgate, Charles and Bonomo face a fairly credible range in both seats with an open under the gun and a flat from the neck seat, so it will go, which will do with his about Paris. and he'll do well with some of his bluffs like this one, which still retain a decent amount of equity against some of Brin and Ben's holdings.

Conventional wisdom certainly dictates that we expect to see the top three preflop always leading the field postflop. A continuation bed is just a simple type of philosophy, but it is certainly not mandatory. He might realize something or he might know how to read Bran or possibly have had a top pair here and decide he wants to close away from mandatory and attack. Surely these things come into play to forget about the ten second call and after Brent Halloween folds with the two sevens and now the turn is a ten, which gives them a straight shot to call the best hand even with the naked cards. for Justin Justin not having clubs in his hand is a good thing for him, since Ben is a little more likely to have flush draws.

However, I think this place is precarious for Justin, to say the least. Justin, have you given up on this product? You don't want to lose anymore, but you also don't want to see it sent to your opponent. I'm not sure Anna and I'm looking forward to seeing how Justin proceeds because he seems to just mark it as reasonable, however it makes sense and a bet on the river would be hard for Ben to find credible. He would check Paris on the turn a healthy amount at the time he could check 10x and now he would bet on Valley, so he certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility that he could. be representing a strong handle, this is a normal thing in itself and after two screaming checks it's fifty-seven thousand and net winnings for your stack, more action from Las Vegas right after the break, welcome back to the Super High Roller Bowl 2017 at Aria Resort and Casino.

Maria, hostess, stopping by with an additional report, what do you have? Maria, thank you. I spoke to Daniel Negreanu this morning before the game started and he told me that he had bought a new shirt for this special event and when he did, the salesman told him that you are the first person to buy this shirt because as you can see , it's yellow with white polka dots, which is a bold combination, but Daniel thinks it's a metaphor for his personality and his poker game, so we'll check on him today to see if he's making any bold moves at the poker table oh, I see what you did there, Barea, I don't know if you really wanted to tell people that you're the first to buy this, that's right, that weird looking shirt, I don't know, credit card is approved. so boogie, I'll come play with your bed, I'll get in the pool, he doesn't like it when you talk to him, why not the Internet?

Everyone loved my concert eight five four on the board top pair to color. I don't think it's tolerant. It has extreme clarity in Kevin's range. I think with the best matchup, a backdoor flush draw, this is a dynamite flop for the tolerant. I'm Kevin, in all likelihood I would like to pay. Yes, we haven't seen it. I don't hear a zzz. I don't think this fight will come out vulgarly with these two ten. It's definitely not full, it looks like he's picking it up and this is Kevin's first kind of show of aggression and it's not entirely clear to Ben what.

This raise means it's not entirely clear what Kevin is limping with and I think the most practical play at this point for Ben is to call and continue. You certainly have enough to get back up. I'd have to be a little afraid of the random factor of Kevin possibly having something like a suited three six that puts you in a weird spot and a jack comes out on the turn, which is an over card for Kevin's hand. and he instantly checks that fear reflex fear reflex this is a strange line limps with tens calls a raise preflop check check raises eight five four Jack folds urges Jack Halloran deeply understands the mathematics of poker, but what are the most likely positions from Kevin?

Not liquidating this little bet you seem to be looking for makes a lot of sense, since Kevin might have a lot of 4 river and paying attention to some of the subtleties in Kevin's quick check and then quickly calling on the turn, it's almost like a limit. type of game, you know, you're like I have knowledge of the top cards out there and let me know, don't pay out in case I get the jacks, stack my chips completely, this is what I'm going to do. I just want my respect. Hey, but I'm not sure if you have Internet on that, but uh, while we take a look atour 5-4 tournament overview, $300,000 buy-in, 56 players, as you mentioned, play with seven players, 75 minutes per level, 30 seconds. shot clock but there are 60 second time banks in play each player receives five per day with no rollover and seven places receive six million dollars to attract the winner of the suited connection they are out of the big blind it is good for thirty-one additional five hundred from Kevin Hart against Ben the tolerance is now very wide three five of open spades did the tolerance increase an initial opening in Kevin's big blind or am I wrong? because if it did, that is relatively interesting with five threes to four one and a half outings aimed at the world's most famous comedian, not the world's most famous poker player, and it makes a certain amount of sense, even though Kevin has proven that he's really here to play, he failed.

However, the flush draw has no action on the flop, but here we go and eight on the diamond turn gives Kevin the flush draw screaming dead, he passed bottom hair on the flop, it should be an easy release Kevin's bets, but he's going to bet. Bit of a trap here, he's setting it. Alain, a bit of cheating, in fact, and he simply tolerates it. I can get to the showdown, yeah, it would seem that way, he checks, reads the ace in the river, I feel like Kevin might get slippery here and check again. but no, looking for some value, I think Kevin has folded enough hands today that his range is not as Wyatt as one might think and this is a pretty easy release, certainly Kevin hopes that the journalist has drawn the ace there and I can pay you. to Kevin Hart, don't look now, so he's really created something for himself early on, going more from aria after the break, welcome back to the 2017 edition of the Super High Roller Bowl here at Aria Resort and Casino and we pick up this hand in progress and this flop is relevant for both players.

The holdings here as Hart has the straight shot, the draw, Halloran hits the top of the hair, it's absolutely correct and let's see what size tolerance goes with if he bets this flop, which I think he'll do first with Kevin and he's going to lay off . really not the worst place, if you're Kevin, to start raising with some of these hands, these gutters and these max flush blockers, ace high, versatile arena, check-call, certainly good for Lord pairs on the turn and it's a third heart that gives Kevin the max flush draw along with the straight shot might trigger a semi-bluff, yes sir, it certainly might look like those gears are turning, do they?

And I think Kevin will probably go with kind of a very friendly size. Oh, third boat. Maybe it's not enough to send a clear message or you see a little message from Beatty or not. I think this bet is perfectly fine. It has a visceral shot. has a maximum color. ace high draw could be good, but fold equity is part of the bet that comes into play here with that size, it makes verses of hands that really have limited value, something like jack nine of spades. I don't think verses like this come into play, look at this river, the golden ace as Hart makes the best Hart hand. hit one of his variety of outs and look for some value here, check-maybe induce a bluff of something like seven eight of clubs that does pass?

I like that choice. Halloran with sixes and fives sharing what the ace kicker can choose to do. somewhat surprising as it's possibly a very big bet the lack of clarity in Kevin's range rules out some hands like this but I think it'll probably end up just checking yeah you have to wonder what's going to call me that I got beat in the end here especially after Kevin led the turn is that combination of maybe another six could fold maybe Kevin is curious with a two I take all I can is three in a row I'm done I don't want no I don't want man Ben we're just talking about exercise and interesting things.

I don't want that and let's take a look at our chip counting feature table, courtesy of Zynga Poker, don't adjust your screen, ladies and gentlemen, mr. Kevin Hart, the wild card, the celebrity who now leads the chips followed by Kerry's cats, had been tolerant, has fallen to third place while his Alamos vulgaris continues in the caboose position in this train seventh on the main table screaming under the gun with ace 10. out of suit and I want to revisit something we touched on earlier in NIC which was hooray Lobos vulgaris and his sort of reputation for pinching and there was a pot earlier where I was playing against the Kerry cats and in the end it was the two jacks and he called the thousand and Kerry had the qinghai and hooray Wolves did not turn his hand forcing Kerry to fold it or present it and he said good hand and then, with a little delay, he showed two checks that I No I don't think any experienced poker player would appreciate you knowing her.

Álamos is very true to form about him in that place. He hurrays. Lobos has that kind of personality. It is fun. He is a very witty and very intelligent guy. And he did it and he did it a few hands before. Bluff. Let's go with Kerry in a similar situation which I think makes his sword a little needle there a little less a little less ting less less severe a little less sting sure Kenny with a pair of sixes a double channel and in the best hand that He is the ace ten of having been tolerant betting on the best and it is true intolerance.

He has been very comfortable, we have not seen him do anything too flashy, he has been very involved, but nothing super out of the ordinary, direct, he does not play many hands and , you know, a little bit. standard fashion, yeah, you know, and the river produces another ten, improving tolerance, the best hand for triptans and potentially tempting Kenny with his 6. I think Kenny is what I often go to check here, I often do it I do, I'm always going to face when Jackson, this is a reasonable hand to consider raising the check-raise and that's something you could certainly find yourself doing with that intensity in your look on this river.

I think he's considering not only all the hand combinations that Ben can have and we kind of caught up with the action here it's a little late, but looking at it now. Brin's block six is ​​full, he has a seven that's relevant to two straights and sometimes you'll want to check going up these rivers with hands like this in the middle of your range with relevant blocker potential, he's heartless just knowing the way he plays Brin, he's more likely to raise here than call, that might be a bit of a stretch, but he raises as much as possible from Brent, just as he calls and folds, let's see how that plays out. ten seconds and although he has an aversion to staring, a quick look was that he made it to 68 and Benes Bennett is going to call, it's way up in his range and this hand is too good.

Will Ben ever come back? go up with 10 I don't think so. I think this is a will I pay or not scenario and I think it is. Bring Kenny. We are talking about one of the most aggressive creative, yes and talented players right now. he table certainly at this table or anywhere and I think tolerate will just call Tom. Look and you have been informed that you have 10 seconds left. A reminder that our time extensions are activated automatically. The player doesn't have to declare them, which is nice. because you hate to see someone hunkered down and thinking that their hand is being mocked out of nowhere and I don't know, this might be an overly simplistic view of this, but if I were Ben, I wouldn't use too many of these extensions, I would just just match Brennan, but you wonder what it is about Bryn that he did, flop a set, not, you know, a combination standpoint, it's hard to say, if he's doing this with six sevens of spades, it certainly becomes a call, but does he always do it? does? with six seven of swords, the answer is probably not, it's a fluid situation and then I would bet a few things that are worse than this, it's pretty high up in his range.

I'd be surprised to see what he does, but Bryn Kenny? He shows the six seven of Spades just for you. You know everything he does. I totally agree. He is on fire having a great year. It's the perfect time to do it. So far he has been a surprise celebrity. Kevin Hart the chip. leader at our main table, the elbows currently at seven will return for more of the Super High Roller Bowl 2017 after this welcome back to the Super High Roller Bowl 2017 edition here at Aria Resort and Casino, ready to begin level 2, the blinds will be going up to 500 and 1000 with an ante of 1,500 as we take a look at the overall leaderboard we just had a little tunnel vision here Nick, off the feature board there are other people planning and Isaac Haxton is the leader among the 431,000 followed by pirate Caye vermin 406 5 in front of him buffer / in third and can you believe it in the general classification Kevin Hart 56 players one level back to the main table now Queen seven for the rainbow on the board his two al-abbas annamaya have made sevens and it's an open ending or for Kerry cats all with a small sample of this Hart with a middle pair of backdoor suits Harry with an open ending and of course he stole the top from us to pair us with a huge holding the turn is a three carry jack now with the seven, hello straight, this could be our first fireworks, Nick, in fact, this is really a disaster for her, the whole bus, for starters, Carrie raised before the flop , his hand is somewhat disguised, he certainly can have five six-suit combinations and he raised Kevin's limp, said that he has a hand that conventional wisdom may dictate at this point aces kings ace queen or we would all love to get a lot of value from a ham like that in checkers and sevens here's an incredibly strong verse from Carrie's range and good for a Bob raise If Kerry does something like reach the top to get a large size, whether it's a boat or just a back A or all of us are in a very, very disastrous and dangerous situation, what are the hands that Kerry could come out on top with here and Bluff? with ace five of hearts, but does he bother now or wait?

That's the question, lowland, there's the answer, man, I don't see all of us escaping Holly, oh, that's a little slimy, pretty soft. Table talk, by the way, from Harry, okay. it's a delaying tactic that never bought me Bob you know seven six I can be anything but a set carry half ago Bob covered this call this Forrester no I just got queen seven king suited now I'll show you I'll show you if you fall Ah , and his bow of Allah makes the call and he will see the bad news. Here he is drawing live. We know that 1 7 is in the mud that was in Kevin's hand and Bob needs the last 7 or a queen to stay alive. be 91%, but the suspense is always there in these places Oh, Carrie isn't exactly uh no, she doesn't think she's out of the woods, you know, no, we've all seen those brutal cards come unstuck and for 300,000 it certainly means a lot more to 6 million we should say that it is the first thing here is the river card a king that will make you feel tense colobus vulgaris 1.8 million in tournament winnings returns to Monte Carlo our first outing on May 6 at the 2017 super high roller let's take a look look at pay structure courtesy of death wish coffee, world's strongest coffee, mortal, maybe death wish coffee, need to prove it right, six million dollar champion, runner up with 3.6 million and seventh, the only position that fails to produce a million plus 600,000, but it is certainly not bad at all. barely got the bully at the table oh just a friendly game this is low stakes for you you carry the loot since you don't always do and we pick up this hand in progress three three looks like a wheel for mr.

Hart, yeah, good turn card for him, an aerial ball for Kerry, this pot doesn't seem to have anything too exciting at the end. Kevin, of course, had the top flush draw and also upgrades his wheel to a straight six at the end. six thousand Kevin more from aria after the break welcome back to our tournament room here for the 2017 high roller

bowl

at Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas Nevada Poker is the platform poker fans have been waiting for and now There really is a one stop shop for all the live poker and it's all coke quiet, everyone's been talking to see they're good.

I have no problem using those captions. Phil Hellmuth has arrived, we communicated with Phil Hellmuth before his arrival here were his thoughts. I feel a little disrespected and the problem is that 99% of the world tells me I'm great and I love it, you know, and recognizes my achievements, but there is a very vocal 1%, especially a lot of the young players, who They have completely disrespected me. a little resentment on his shoulder upon his arrival this year not so little slow down with all this charlatan getting involved with the seventh bill he said I'm here kitten and raising his bed four thousand ten K right away I'll compare it boring and that might uh, you know, wake up the curiosity to bring in Kenny and he does, since you noticed that Phil has four diamonds, which means he can have all kinds of hands and this is not a particularly good card on the turn for Brynn because we are Ace Jack. he's leading on the flop he's leading on the turn now Phil gets faked with less than eight nine he didn't get there and I wonder how stubborn he iswill put Brynn in this scenario.

I think this turn call is almost mandatory. or continue, I should say that I don't really see a reason to increase the check fold here it would be a very elitist type of first level reading, it just fills in wide ranges, these points lack clarity and sometimes you have to make sense decisions common. and that letter should be enough to save Bryn from any further disaster. I bet Nicole fifteen thousand on the turn and here we are at the Hellmuth River trying to decide how much to throw in this pot and you said it's not a good card on the turn. for Brent, but that of course considering he's facing Sevens full, but it actually looks pretty good, as you meant, it's not a good card from our point of view knowing that Phil has Sevens full and this is a good Brent's turn at that same school. of thought, since now eight nine gets there six eight of the same suit some strange combinations of three four you get a weight now potential for things this is a better escape card, but having said that Hellmuth likes to make his presence felt, the sitting pond has a very wide range in this button scenario and knows his math I want myself here I am here now maybe here I will return to Aria Resort and Casino in a moment welcome back to the beautiful Aria Resort and Casino here in Las Vegas Christian Krishna with two fives against Loren Roberts' two aces Laurens is going to need to get one ace and only one ace to make the best hand for outs, not where you want to find yourself with an ace at the end, the first horrible hit we've seen so far, the only way what I was in.

I could never reconcile that kind of thing if I told you I saw that all five of them are supposed to lose bases. It's a very nice and focused approach. Reaching out to hand in progress. Main table. Queen Jota. Eight on the flop. Top pair. Top kicker for Kevin and a straight two-way draw for Brynn a serious connection for both players filled with that Ace of Hearts for dessert notice Brynn shoot Kevin a quick glance. I want to possibly get a reading of some kind, right? and Phil engaging Kevin and chatting while he's in this pot right as the conversation slowly dissipates on the turn and river.

Well, 12,000 is the number bet on the heart turn and I think the most likely scenarios Kenny will choose all, however, it will raise here sometimes I know if this will be the time. oh your spidey senses were tingling, that's a really good hand to do this with Kevin, the phrasing from the small blind has been pretty solid, the c block ace, the queen, you have the variety of outs he finds, it's a bit worse than four to one. dog entering this river and again we expect Kenny to do it and we expect as a fan to see a brick turn to see Kevin Shaq and see Brin go to the races, you know, and this river is dangerous for Kenny because it's a target, it's a black a checksum which is a good check because even if Kevin had something like an 8, 9, or 10, there is no guarantee that his bluff will succeed.

Kevin removes it and continues adding to his stack as we take a look at our chip count on the feature table, courtesy. zinc Poker Kerry cats the boss in poker go Kevin Hart a distant second foot certainly admirable departure for him as we go deeper and deeper into level 2 for Nick Schulman ivali Mashhad saying good night from Las Vegas join Join us next time for more from the 2017 Super A High Roller Bowl here on NBC Sports Network
