Day 1A of the $25,500 Super High Roller Championship in the partypoker WPT World Online Championships is done and dusted. Eighty-eight of the world's best players bought in and only 11 of them survived the first flight.
Nobody bagged up more chips than Pascal Hartmann who turned his 100,000 starting stack into a colossal 1,964,082 chips over the course of 18 levels.
Hartmann is a superb poker player and one who has put in several deep runs during the WPTWOC series. He's not managed to take down a Championship Event yet, bit this incredible start has done his chances of glory no harm at all.
