Elio Fox has been making a name for himself in 2018. Perhaps he is not the most prominent player out there right now, but he\u2019s one that has amassed solid riches out of playing live action poker games. Mr. Fox\u2019s commitment has led him down a path to yet another victory and that is itself quite the achievement. Enter the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open $50,000 Super High Roller<\/strong> event.<\/p>\n Boy, if you think that\u2019s a mouthful to say and that the entry fee is a bit too steep, wait for the reward \u2013 the $500,000 prize money have definitely been tempting for quite a few people. And Mr. Fox has been rocking a solid track record this year<\/a>. Official numbers put his overall earnings at $4 million in cash money. <\/p>\n Elio Fox\u2019s talent and sophistication in the game of poker showed during the event. But he still had to fend off a crop of committed and distinguished players. He was challenged by Dan Shak from the USA who finished second with $305,000. Other contenders weren\u2019t as lucky though and then ended up filling up the other 3 available spots, getting between $100,000 and $190,000. <\/p>\n The final table, though was quite breathtaking. Fox had his stack of chips swelling to new heights in front of him quite easily and simply. So, he played against Taylor Black shoving him clear out of the race.<\/p>\n Sam Soverel, another contender didn\u2019t do so well, failing to keep his head above the water and that led to a final table where only six players were left. Bryn Kenney was on the verge of losing it all and a few hands later he did, reducing the overall count of players to just five. Now everybody new \u2013 they would be able to offset their entry-stake. The question remained – By how much? All courtesy of Giuseppe ladisernia who disposed of Mr. Kenney. And the high rolling<\/a> conitnued.<\/p>\n Dan Shak had a brief moment where he fought off Hunichen, but he couldn\u2019t quite overcome him and so he lost. Ali Imsirovic was actually doing pretty well at one point in the first day. He held the chip lead and was carefully calculating his moves, but following a few quick defeats he lost that advantage. <\/p>\n It\u2019s quite normal for poker to see that happen though, the short-stack becoming the leader and vice versa.<\/p>\nNot Alone, Not Uncontested<\/h2>\n
Day 2 Wraps the Action Up<\/h2>\n
