12:45pm: Magic Ike
Level 1 - Blinds 100/200 (25 ante)

Isaac Haxton is having a good PCA with two final tables and over $700k in winnings so far. He's started well in this one too, winning a pot versus Tyler Patterson just now.

Patterson check-raised on the [5s][6c][7c] flop and Haxton called. The action slowed down on the [6d][ks] turn and river, both going check-check. Haxton turned over [7d][5d] for a flopped two pair and it was good against Patterson's [jh][9c]. Ike is now on 55,000. - RJ

12:30pm: Shakerchi wins an early pot
Level 1 - Blinds 100/200 (25 ante)

Talal Shakerchi is up to 53,000 after a hand against Brian Tae-Hyun Yoon. After some pre-flop betting and calling the flop came [6c][3h][th]. Shakerchi check-called Yoon's bet of 1,800 for the [8h] turn card. Both checked for the [4c] on the river. Here Shakerchi bet 6,600. Yoon thought about it but was forced to pass.-SB

Talal Shakerchi - 53,000

12:25pm: Merson is not turbo-charged
Level 1 - Blinds 100/200 (25 ante)

It's the first sighting of Greg Merson in one of the marquee High Roller events this week. Acclaimed poker author (and tablemate) Jonathan Little wondered why Merson didn't play the one-day $50,000 event.

The reason? "I hate turbos." Merson also said he had no idea what to do in them - though we suspect Merson's version of no idea is significantly better than ours... - RJ

12:15pm: World champion of world champions
Level 1 - Blinds 100 - 200 (25 ante)

High roller poker players are very good at some things - mainly poker - but tend to be very bad at another thing, turning up on time. Today's $25k event officially started at noon but quite a few tables are only now starting to fill up. And it's a certainty that there will be a steady stream of players filing in throughout the day too.

Two players who did show up bang on time are 2012 WSOP world champion Greg Merson and his 2015 counterpart Joe McKeehen. They're seated across from each other and will be out to prove who wears that shiny gold bracelet better than the other. - RJ
