Jacob Rasmussen raised to 700 UTG and got called by Faraz Jaka and Jeffrey Rossiter in the blinds.
All three checked the flop before it was checked to Rasmussen on the turn and he bet 1,500, Jaka check-raised to 4,000. Rossiter folded and Rasmussen shot Jaka a glance before making the call to see the river.
Jaka now led out for 12,000 and Rasmussen looked for all intents and purposes as though he would call but instead he ended up mucking his hand.
Mickey Petersen Tweeted: "Down to 10k after making what I thought (and still think) was a good bluff with AK. Then lost a big pot with KK where it was air or boat :("
David Vamplew: "Caio cbets 886r pots Q overbets blank river w JT high, AQ good. Over 100k! #vamooo #eptmadrid"
Kevin MacPhee with a bit more information on his double up hand: "58k doubled up. I overflat JJ and flop top set in a 5 way pot. Freitez calls my bet/bet/shove. Don't know what he had... #EPTMadrid"
Ruben Visser was in early position, and he came in raising to 750. Around in the small blind, Manuel Bevand three-bet to 2,650, and Visser clicked it back. He actually under-raised to 4,400, and he was forced to make it 4,550. Bevand responded with an all-in shove for 14,050, and Visser quickly called with the . He was well behind the Frenchman's .
The board ran to double Bevand back to starting stack, while Visser is crippled all the way down to just 6,800.
There seems to a lack of energy in the upstairs room, everyone seems fairly lackadaisical which might be because the room is relatively quiet and now less than a third full or maybe there was just a lull in the action while I was there.
Jonas Molander just picked up a small pot, after he opened to 700 and got called by Gilbert Diaz, Mike McDonald and Gianluca Speranza - none of which were interested in calling the Swede's 1,700 continuation bet on the board.
Kevin MacPhee is up to 55,000 after he doubled through last season's EPT Madrid champion Ivan Freitez.
We missed the hand but MacPhee informed us that he flopped top set and bet the flop and turn before shoving the river. Freitez called all the way and mucked upon seeing his opponent's hand.
Not long after the Venezuelan opened to 650 from the cut-off and was called by the small and big blind. All three checked the flop to see the turn of a board. Freitez bet 2,225 but folded when check-shoved on.
Rien Willem De Vries fired 2,800 on a flop of against David Benyamine and the Frenchman made the call to see the on the turn which both players checked. The river was the and De Vries checked a second time and Benyamine nonchalantly threw out a 5k chip putting De Vries into the tank.
The latter eventually folded and Benyamine flashed saying, "About all you could beat..."
Eli Elezra declared to Benyamine, "You had him beat!"
We've just stumbled across Cesar Garcia Dominguez at Table 35, and he's sitting rather pretty right now. Dominguez has got just about 100,000 chips towered in front of him, and as the first player to hit the century mark today, he's the chip leader for now.
The big stack from Day 1a bagged up just over 150,000 chips.
