TLPT AAPOKER (SHR) FINAL ($25,000)

No flush or king for Thompson on A♣ A♠ ends his journey.

Ami Barer three-bet shoved 138,000 from the small blind to collect the blinds and a min-raise from Gary Thompson.

Dominik Nitsche pumped it to 78,000 from the big blind and scooped Quan Zhou's 22,000 open.

Zhou does the same from the hijack for 65,000 into Thompsons min-raise from under the gun.

The Lord Poker Tournament $25,000 Super High Roller has currently 6 out of 14 entries remaining with the prize pool sitting at $350,000, but late registration will still be open until the start of Day 2 at 13:00 local, giving late entries twenty big blinds to work with.

Ivan Zhang - back to back high roller runner-up at the KPC Jeju last November - leads the field into Day 2 with 1,066,000 (133 BB). He started level 9 with 271,000 in chips and spun it up to over 1M in the last 90 minutes with his usual aggressive play, adding 21BBs last minute by pressuring two opponents out of a multi raised pot on the turn.

Quan Zhou - fresh from a $1,193,000 cash for 2nd place at the $25,000 Triton Super High Roller Event #3 here in Jeju just over two months ago - will start the day in second with 743,000 (93 BB). He already had a big stack when we started live coverage last night and chipped up some more in the last level.

Dominik Nitsche - four-time bracelet winner with over $20M in live earnings to his name - sits in third with 526,000 (66 BB) after a roller coaster finish yesterday.

SMP Live Updates will cover the action until a champion is crowned.
