We're flying through the field here in the early stages of the day.
We've broken six tables already, and we're getting close to breaking the seventh. With more than 60 bustees already headed off to sun themselves on the the beach, and we've got less than 350 players left as this first level nears its close.
From under the gun, Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin raised to 2,300. His only caller was Noureddine Ziane from the big blind and the two saw the flop come down . Ziane checked and Ramdin bet 3,200. Ziane called.
Fourth street was the and both players checked to see the land on the river. After Ziane checked, Ramdin fired 12,000. Ziane tanked for a little bit and then gave it up, allowing Ramdin to win the pot and move to 80,000 in chips.

Atanas Gueorguiev called a raise to 2,300 from Jasper Wetemans out of the big blind. Wetemans had opened from middle position and the flop came down . Gueorguiev checked and Wetemans bet 2,700. Gueorguiev made it 6,200 and Wetemans reraised to 13,700. Gueorguiev moved all in and Wetemans called for his last 65,000 or so. Gueorguiev tabled the for the combo draw and was up against the for Wetemans.
The turn was the and the river the . Both missed Gueorguiev and he was left with just 4,000 in chips. On the next hand, Gueorguiev was eliminated.
From under the gun, Candido Gonçalves limped in. Jesus Sabater Muñoz raised to 3,600 from middle position and action folded to Joseph Cheong on the button. He called and everyone else folded, including the limper Gonçalves.
The flop came down and Muñoz fired 3,700 with 18,500 behind. Cheong tossed out a raise to 32,000 and Muñoz only took a few seconds to fold.
Leo Margets just sent Diogo Borges to the rail after cracking Borges' aces with pocket queens. Margets held the and Borges the as the money went in preflop and the board ran out . With that pot, Margets is over 100,000 in chips now.
Andrej Vinogrodskij has added a few more chips to his mountainous stack after claiming the rest of Slobodan Bjelobrk's. It was the of Bjelobrk running up against the chip leader's , and the board changed nothing. That's the end of the road for Bjelobrk -- who only had about 12,000 to start the hand -- and the rich get just a little bit richer over there at Table 17.
Kfir Yamin was all in for his last 3,400 with the and up against the . He was able to pull off the double up when the board ran out and take step one in climbing back from the bottom.
Max Silver is out. He four-bet jammed from the highjack with king-queen after Alvaro Aspas Tarrazon three-bet his raise from the the button. Silver had been very active and felt like it was a good spot against a player who, he thought, was gunning for him. Tarrazon certainly was gunning for him this time as he had two bullets waiting in the whole.
James Mitchell and Team PokerStars Pro Marcin Horecki were two players that Vanessa Selbst would been aware of and wary of when she saw her seat draw this morning. The solution? Knock them both out in one hand of course!
She raised from early position before Mitchell shoved for 22,000 from the small blind and Horecki for 66,000 from the big blind. She called very quickly to create the big three-way showdown.
Mitchell:
Horecki:
Selbst:
The board ran to send the whole lot Selbst's way. She's up to 150,000 chips again now.
