We are live, the very first hands are being dealt right now. So far, just three players are seated, but with 17 players registered, more high rollers are expected to make their entrance any minute.
Play is now underway on table two as well, and so far two partypoker Ambassadors have been seated. England's Natalia Breviglieri and Russia's Anatoly Filatov have both made it to the King's Casino, and are now going at it side by side.
Healthy competition between @N4talB and @nl_profit in the High Roller! @PokerroomKings @partypokerlive

The action folded around to Natalia Breviglieri in the cutoff, and she made it 1,000 to go. Lars Wik reraised to 3,200 out of the small blind, and Breviglieri four-bet to 9,000 total. Wik made the call.
The partypoker Ambassador continued for 7,000 on the flop but checked the turn back to Wik. Wik took the initiative on the river, but Breviglieri quickly called the 12,600 bet on the river and raked in the pot with for a rivered straight while Wik's hit the muck.
