Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
It's the last level of the day - off we go.
Big Roger Doubles Up
The man known as Big Roger - Roger Hairabedian - has just doubled up in the most comfortable of circumstances.
Hairabedian raised to 1,000 in early position and Yuliyan Kolev three-bet to 2,400 one seat to his left. The play folded back around to Hairabedian and he four-bet to 7,000. Kolev reacted by moving all-in for just under 30,000 and Hairabedian called instantly.
| Hairabedian |   |
| Kolev |   |
We are not sure if there is history between these two, but from our standpoint Kolev had zero fold equity with that move.

and Collado lost the chip lead while Ainsworth regained most of the chips he'd previously lost to Theo Jorgensen.

Not Going the Way of the Chipleaders
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
It's not going the way of Jan Collado, he's just had to fold on the turn of a 
board when his 3,100 bet was check-raised to 11,125 by Dobromir Nikov. A sigh from the German and he folded.
Meanwhile Loykia Lypraioy bet 3,500 on a 
only to sigh and fold when Georgios Zisimopoulos made it a chunky-looking 16,000 to go.
Aidonopoulos Trips Up
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Oh dear Theodoros Aidonopoulos.
After David Elyashar had checked the river of a 
board, Aidonopoulos bet 9,850 and was snap-called by his Israeli opponent, the Greek player was very happy to show 
but Elyashar held 
for a straight to win the pot.
Aidonopoulos was left with a face that looked like he was chewing a wasp.

Germany Leads Again: Mario Puccini Leads Day 1b
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
It's a wrap, we have officially ran out of day ones!
191 players entered today's competition giving us a total number of 336 players in our first ever EPT to be held in Greece. Thirty-eight different countries shipped their poker players to the Gulf of Corinth and 5% of them came from Germany. Yesterday we brought you the news that a German player, Julian Herold, finished as the Day 1a chip leader with 138,425 chips and Day 1b was no different. Mario Puccini finished with 159,150 chips and he will go into Day 2 as the overall chip leader.
Three Team Pokerstars Pros made it through to Day 2 and three did not. Toni Judet (143,500), Johnny Lodden (40,000) and Jude Ainsworth (32,600) made it and Arnaud Mattern, Theo Jorgensen and Vanessa Rousso did not. Team Online Pro Randy Lew was also a Day 1b casualty.
232 players will return at 12.00 (CET) on Thursday and we will bring you all of the coverage here at Pokernews.
