Early Exodus of Eliminations on Table 7 Hands Matis Martens the Chip Lead

It didn't take long for the first elimination to take place. Over on Table 7. Matis Martens opened and was called by Lukas Rutkauskas.

Rene Eller, who had about nine big blinds before the hand, jammed all-in with ace-queen for under 10,000. Martens called with ace-jack and Rutkauskas tossed his hand in the muck.

Although Metsla was ahead before the flop, a jack appeared on the board to send him to the rail very early on Day 2.

On the same table Kristian Matias Zitting and Samir Akram Mawlod, both with short stacks, hit the rail quickly after.

Martens had the chip lead after the hand, but this can change quickly with many of the players with smaller stacks sharing before the start of the day that they were looking to double up or call it an early day.
