Oghbabian Doubles Through Castells
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
The seat of Svitlana Derevlianko is now occupied by Milad Oghabian, who arrived with a short stack. Soon after, Oghabian three-bet all in for 17,600 and initial raiser Roger Castells called.
Milad Oghabian: 
Roger Castells: 
The 
flop gave big stack Castells more outs with an open-ender, but the 
turn and 
river were blanks. Also on the table is Kully Sidhu, who has re-entered on Day 1c and has an above-average stack with 100 players remaining.

Menhardt Eliminated; Jacobson Joins
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
A raise in early position to 3,500 saw Julian Menhardt on the button shove for 52,800 and Daniel Rueda Merino in the big blind pushed over the top. The initial raiser folded and the cards were turned over.
Julian Menhardt: 
Daniel Rueda Merino: 
The 
flop left Menhardt in need of running outs, but the Austrian was left drawing dead as soon as the 
followed on the turn. A meaningless 
came on the river and Rueda Merino claimed the pot.
Two seats were open on the table and they were filled with 2017 champion Luigi Shehadeh and 888poker ambassador Martin Jacobson on a late entry.

Gorman Doubles
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
A raise to 3,200 vby Albert Gorman was called by Dorde Jovanovic and one further player. The big blind pushed all in for around 60,000 and Gorman called all in for 50,400. Jovanovic asked for a rough count on both and folded, and the big blind ended up heads-up in the showdown with 
against the 
of Gorman.
"I folded pocket nines," Jovanovic said and saw the board run out 
to give Gorman a pair of queens.

Final Break on Day 1c
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Four levels in a row after the dinner break would have been three hours of play, and that was considered as too long. As a result, a short 10-minute break has been added after the end of level 10 and the screens show 117 players out of 262 entries remaining. Another two 45-minute levels will decide who makes it through to Day 2.
Van Boxtel Busts One
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A shorter stack had been already all in and three players remained active. A bet by Raul van Boxtel on the 
river forced folds from Pietro Robbiano and the fourth player in the hand, and van Boxtel turned over 
for the back door flush to secure the knockout, the short stack had 
for top pair.
"Did you see that? He called with king-eight and one spade on the flop," Robbiano said, half in Spanish, half in Italian. Robbiano and van Boxtel are both above the average with fewer than half the field remaining.
