Texas Mike Leads Super High Roller Bowl $100,000 Mixed Games Final Five; Negreanu Still Alive
The first-ever $100,000 Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games at PokerGO Studio is down to the final five!
The tournament, which followed the conclusion of the PokerGO Tour Mixed Games Series in which Chino Rheem finished atop the leaderboard for the second time in three years, attracted 29 entrants and will award a $2.9 million prize pool.
Day 2 ended the same way it started – with “Texas” Mike Moncek on top. The Texas Longhorn hat-wearing man from Illinois bagged 2,890,000 and is best positioned to make a run at the title. Joining Moncek are Benny Glaser (2,160,000), Yuri Dzivielevski (1,285,000), Chad Eveslage (1,240,000), and the short-stacked Daniel Negreanu (1,110,000).
The final five players have $225,000 locked up, but all have their eyes firmly fixed on the $1,200,000 top prize.

Daniel Negreanu Steamrolls PGT Mixed Game Final Table for Convincing Win
Moncek eliminated Nick Schulman in sixth place to burst the bubble and end the day. According to live updates from the event, it happened in a hand of Razz when Schulman got it all in on sixth street with a ten-six low and Moncek called with a seven-five. Schulman was drawing live to a six-low headed into seventh, but he paired his deuce to leave empty handed in sixth place.
Others to fall on Day 2 were Philip Sternheimer, John Racener, Scott Seiver, Jason Mercier, Brian Rast, and Eric Wasserson. For Racener, he was actually eliminated by Schulman in a hand of pot-limit Omaha. It happened when Racener four-bet all in holding the A?J?10?8? and Schulman called with the A?A?Q?8?. The board ran out Q?7?6?4?5? and that was all she wrote for Racener, who failed to make the money in an event he had been very much looking forward to.
The final table resumes at 1 p.m. PT and the PokerGO livestream will begin at 2 p.m. PT.
