Robbie Bakker is no longer in the Main Event after picking an unfortunate timing to six-bet jam with queen-jack suited ... right into the pocket aces of Pascal Vos. It happens to the best players as well, though.
Fucked it up! Couldnt just fold my QJs vs a 5b in squeezed pot and 6b jammed into his AA. Feel like an idiot!Follow @BakkerRobbie

The screens show six seat open out of a field of 144 entrants and that may soon become an issue. There are only 14 tables upstairs and all of them are pretty much bursting. A few more late registrants may require to move players downstairs where another Side Event is currently taking place as well.
For the second time in an hour, former big stack Matthew Miller had his pocket aces cracked. This time it was Robert Soogea, who doubled up to stage a possible big comeback. Miller however continued his usual pace of playing almost every hand, getting some of the losses back by betting a three-way pot on the 
flop for 3,500 and taking down the pot uncontested.

Gleb Kovtunov had a stellar start into Day 1a but the early run good backfired and he was out after the dinner break. Now the Ukrainian is back in and at the table of Matthew Miller. On the three-way turn 
, the player in the small blind led for 3,000 and was called before Kovtunov squeezed to 6,000. The player in the small blind reraised to get the third player out of the hand with Kovtunov jamming and getting called.
It was the 
of the Ukrainian and the 
of his opponent, already locking up a split pot.

Ping Lin first doubled up against Matthew Miller and then had the better kicker on the flop 
against Miller and Robert Soogea. The Dutchman called the check-raise of Lin and all further barrels on the 
turn and 
river to find himself in bad shape with 
versus 
of Pin before getting some chips back a bit later.

During the break, Robbie Schiffbauer walked over to the media desk for a quick chat and inquired whether or not it counts for the last longer bet if a player reentered. He was in fact referring to himself as the American busted in level two and may opt to jump into the action again today or before the start of Day 2.

There is a feature table in use and that includes Douglas Roberts, an American that qualified live for this event.
His biggest thread may very well sit in seat five: Artur Koren has already increased his stack and accumulated more than $1 million in tournament winnings in the career so far.

Matas Cimbolas had flopped a set of fours in level one on the flop 
with both players in the blinds in the pot. The player in the big blind led for 500 and called the raise to 1,700 by Cimbolas. The 
turn saw a bet of the opponent for 2,200 and a call from the Lithuanian before he gave up on the 
river to another barrel.
"I have had so many hands and lost them all," Cimbolas joked.
