Back in September, Fernando Santa Maria achieved an incredible performance, leading the tournament from beginning to end and winning it for €26,625.

Here at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel and Spa in North Cyprus, he bagged 4,110,000 chips and leads a total of 78 players to Day 2. 510 entries were recorded on this third flight, and 307 more on Day 1d Turbo, making a total of 1,565 entrants for this Grand Final.

Niall Farrell bagged 1,320,000 chips, which is a little bit less than EPT Monte-Carlo finalist Jovan Kenjic (1,585,000), but more than Kuljinder Sidhu (1,165,000), Cédric Schwaederle (945,000) or Tobias Peters (920,000) who won a three-way all-in and call situation with aces before dinner break to reach one million chips.
EPT champion Alessio Isaia will also be back on Say 2, as well as Renji Mao (705,000) or Dzmitry Urbanovich (665,000).
Day 1s survivors will combine on Tuesday, May 7th at noon local time for Day 2. Action will resume at Level 16 with blinds at 20,000/40,00 with a 40,00 big blind ante. Levels will be 50 minutes in length with a break scheduled every two levels.

Soika Folds Queens Preflop; Akiki Finds Aces Twice in a Row
Level 15
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Gabriel Akiki opened from early position, and Ihar Soika three-bet to 180,000 from middle position. In the cutoff, Yuhang Chen moved all in for 595,000, then Akiki shoved with the biggest stack of the table. Soika went deep into the tank, using several time banks, but eventually folded Q♥Q♦ face up.
Yuhang Chen: K♥K♦ 
Gabriel Akiki: A♦A♣
Surrounded by his friends, Soika was more than happy when he discovered his opponents hands. Thanks to his fold, he stayed in the tournament while Chen was eliminated on a board of A♥3♥7♦9♣2♥.
On the next hand, Akiki... had aces again!
