Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
While Graydon Kowal keeps entertaining the table including Anthony Zinno, another familiar face on the international poker circuit has sat down on seat nine. Jeff Sarwer got involved into a hand with Chi Zhang and the pot had already grown to more than 3,000 until the 
turn. Both players checked and Sarwer then bet the 
river for 2,000 out of the big blind.
Zhang called from early position and Sarwer rolled over the 
or ace-high, Zhang had that beat with the 
and raked in the pot.

: 100/200, 25 ante
While one Canadian is in the lead with Graydon Kowal, another appears to be quickly laddering up as well in George Petten. He started rather mediocre but picked up chips very frequently since.
Just now he faced the raise to 600 by [Removed:155] and Petten three-bet to 2,100 in the big blind. Brand called and the flop came 
. Petten continued for 1,500 and that was enough to take down the pot uncontested.

The seat of Ferdinand Le Pichon is vacated and the High Rollers Viatcheslav Buldygin and Charlie Carrel got into a three-bet pot. On the flop of 
, Buldygin bet 2,100 and Carrel called. On the 
turn, Buldygin then bet 5,200 and Carrel eventually folded.
"Choose one," the Russian said and Carrel rolled over the 
. "That doesn't make any sense. Pocket sixes? Five six suited?" Carrel asked while grinning to his table neighbor.

Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
With 6,500 chips already in the pot, Christophe Larquemin had nothing more than a pot size bet behind.
The board was 
and Larquemin, on the button, was up against Michael Ho. The Canadian made a bet of 3,000 and Larquemin called.
The came on the river and Ho insta-bet enough to put his opponent all in and Larquemin called as quick as he could.
Ho showed 
for a pair of tens and a missed flush draw. Larquemin rivered a set with his 
and doubled up.

Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
A lot of players were evolved in a hand on table six. First, Anatoly Korochenskiy raised from first position to 525, Connor Drinan, one seat over, made the call. Sergey Sergeev threw in a three-bet to 1,600.
It didn't end there. Jorryt van Hoof flat called and Korochenskiy and Drinan did the same.
The flop was 
and Van Hoof checked to Korochenskiy. He made a bet of 600 only to see Drinan raise it up to 2,600. That wasn't enough for Sergeev who made it 7,500 to go.
Van Hoof and Korochenskiy quickly folded. Drinan needed some time but in the end he did the same.
Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
There was a 1,800-bet in front of Martin Kozlov, what was apparently a three-bet. The all-in triangle was lying in front of Stephan Zesiger who pushed all of his 8,425 chips over the line.
Kozlov had a hard time making his decision. He tanked for more than five minutes and eventually Pasi Sormunen called the clock on him. With one minute left to act, he used another 45 seconds before folding his hand.

Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
The latest two casualties on Day 1a include Caitlin Hall and Iliodoros Kamatakis.
The latter has had a tough first few levels, but bounced back to get to 15,000. However, his pocket kings were cracked as Dmitry Yurasov flopped a straight and held up to send the Greek to the rail.
As for Hall, she was down to just 7,500 chips and raised to 525 from the button. Michael Ho called in the small blind and Vladimir Troyanovskiy three-bet to 2,050 from the big blind. Hall shoved and Ho folded, Troyanovskiy called.
Hall:
Troyanovskiy: 
The board came 
and the Russian made a straight, Troyanovskiy remained below starting stack though.
Played my heart out today and left it all on the field, but busted EPT main about 10 minutes into level 3. 10k tomorrow.
