Event #8: €25,600 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em (the final gold bracelet event at the 2013 WSOPE in Paris) saw 80 entries and only 13 players remain after two days of play. Philipp Gruissem was the only one to bag up more than a million chips at the end of Day 2. The German poker pro won a 700,000 pot with AA during Level 17 against Jason Mercier's AQ on the board Q10366. Gruissem will bring 1.269 million chips to Day 3.
Other players that will bring big stacks to Day 3 include Scott Seiver (777k), Jason Koon (702k) and Erik Seidel (610k). The money bubble will burst when 9 players remain. A minimum cash is worth €50,400 and the winner will take home an incredible €725,000 and, of course, the coveted gold bracelet.
