Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel Zaremba made a pot-sized bet of 100,000 from the small blind on a flop of 5♣2♥4♣. Stefan Polster then shoved all in for 377,000, sending James Crawley on the button into the tank.

After some time banks, Crawley let his hand go before Zaremba called off for 193,000.

Daniel Zaremba: 9♣8♣7♥6♥ All in
Stefan Polster: A♥5♦4♠3♠

Polster had flopped a straight, but Zaremba had a plethora of outs. However, neither the 5♠ turn nor the 9♥ river was one of them, resulting in his elimination.

Vlado Banicevic in the big blind and "Dan" in the cutoff had built a pot of 280,000 when the J♥6♥6♠2♠9♥ river hit. Banicevic made a bet of 125,000, which was eventually called by "Dan".

Banicevic tabled A♠Q♠6♣2♣ for a full house. "Dan" sent his cards into the muck as the large pot was awarded to Banicevic.

Arjel Daci had raised to 20,000 under the gun and was raised to 72,000 by Francisco Perez in the seat next to him. The action folded back to Daci, who decided to make the call.

The flop fell 2♥5♠7♠. Daci checked to Perez, who shoved in his remaining 38,000. Daci tanked for a while but eventually folded as Perez took down the pot without showdown.

Level 9 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

"Pie Sie" had raised to 22,000 in the cutoff and Tom-Aksel Bedell called in the small blind. Roman Verenko then jammed all in for 76,000 in the big blind, after which "Pie Sie" four-bet to 272,000.

Bedell spent some time in the tank before calling.

"Gamble, gamble, huh?" "Pie Sie" asked Bedell, to which the Norwegian smiled and nodded.

Bedell put "Pie Sie" all-in for 74,000 on the 10♦3♠3♦ flop and was snap-called to a three-way showdown.

Roman Verenko: A♣J♦7♥2♥ All in
"Pie Sie": A♦7♦5♦4♥
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♥Q♣J♣10♣

Bedell could not believe he had flopped best. The 6♥ turn gave "Pie Sie" a bunch more outs, however, and the 2♠ rive made him a straight to take down the massive pot during the final few hands of Day 1.
