The final table of the PCA $100k Super High Roller is stacked with superstars, the chipleader is Bryn Kenney, but Ankush ''pistons87'' Mandavia, Joe McKeehen, David Peters, Isaac Haxton and Mustapha Kanit are also in hunt for the $1.6 million first place prize.
Day 2 of the $100,000 buy-in Super High Roller kicked off with a total 41 players, this number included 32 players that advanced from Day 1 and nine players that decided to enter or re-enter before the start of Day 2.
This created a prizepool of $5,626,000 with a $1.6 million first place prize and eight paying spots.
Play started on Level 9 (3,000/6,000 - 1,000 ante) and the first player to be eliminated was 2013 Super High Roller champion Scott Seiver, he ran his Queens into Daniel Dvoress' Aces.
Keith Lehr was eliminated minutes later, he was soon followed by Daniel Negreanu, Steve O'Dwyer, Dzmitry Urbanovich, Talal Shakerchi, Mike ''Timex'' McDonald and Christoph Vogelsang.
The remaining 11 players went on dinner break with 2015 WSOP Main Event champ Joe McKeehen as the chipleader, Ankush Mandavia in second and Bill Perkins in third.
Anton Astapau finished in 11th place and Perkins was eliminated in 10th, he called all-in for 695,000 during Level 17 (20,000/40,000 - 5,000 ante) after Peters shoved for 705,000 from the cutoff.
Perkins showed A-K but he couldn't improve against Peters' 8-8.
After Perkins' elimination the remaining players continued on one table.

Nick Petrangelo finished as the bubble boy, he got his stack in with Tens, unfortunately for him McKeehen had Kings and the best hand held up, the rest of the players were guaranteed at least $225,040.
During Level 18 (30,000/60,000 -5,000 ante) Mandavia opened to 120,000, Dvoress called and Kathy Lehne shoved for 650,000 from the small blind. Mandavia also shoved and Dvoress decided to call from a bigger stack after he got a chipcount.
Lehne: TT
Dvoress: JJ
Mandavia: QQ
Dvoress was left with 1,565,000 and was eliminated not much later in another cooler situation. He ran his Queens into Kenney's Kings, his 7th place finish earned him $286,920.
