US poker player Jake Schindler started $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl’s Day 4 as a chip leader after fierce action over the third day of the event, which is being held at the Aria Resort & Casino.
As previously reported by Casino Guardian, he emerged as a chip leader at the end of Day 3 and started Day 4 with a total of 4,080,000 in chips, followed by Cristoph Vogelsang with 2,650,000. Considering the fact that Day 4 featured the unofficial final table of the event and there were almost only poker pros left in the game, the competition was expected to be fierce.
Day 4 of the $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl saw Schindler retain his lead and even boost it to an extent that has made him the undisputed favourite to finish the game as the event’s crowned winner.
After a quick-paced action and rough competition, there were only three players left to face each other at the final table and give their best in order to get the lion’s share of the massive guaranteed prize pool.
The $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl started with an overall players field of 56 entries. It took four game days and over 24 levels of play to Jake Schindler, Christoph Vogelsang and Stefan Schillhabel to overcome the competition and be the last ones to have their eyes on the title. As reported by Casino Guardian, a large number of poker pros have taken part in the event, with some of them reaching the unofficial final table, but others, such as Jason Mercier, Daniel Negreanu and Brian Rast got eliminated at much earlier stage of the game, not making it to Day 4.
It was Jason Koon who became the bubble boy and gave the start of what turned out to be fierce battle for the last three places around the final table. At that time, Schindler has already grabbed the chip lead, leaving the rest of the players with much shorter chip stacks.
The only amateur poker player who got to Day 4, Leon Tsoukernik, was the last one to be eliminated before the final table of three was formed.
So, at the end of Day 4, it is Jake Schindler from the US who has the massive chip lead of 10,670,000, with this amount representing roughly two-thirds of the remaining chips. Two German players form the trio who will compete for the event’s title, with Christoph Vogelsang being currently second with 5,245,000 in chips and Stefan Schillhabel holding the shortest chip stack amounting to 885,000.
Now, every one of them will have their eyes on the first-place prize of $6 million. The guaranteed prize pool shares for the second and third in the ranking are not that small, either. The runner-up will be granted with prize amounting to $3.6 million, while the player who finishes third will take home $2.4 million for their efforts.
