Level 3
: 150/300, 300 ante
Three players saw an 
flop and the betting ended with Matthias Eibinger all in for about 30,000 and Juha Helppi having called him. Pedro Marques thought awhile and gave it up, and it was Helppi's 
besting the lower set of Eibinger (
). The 
turn and 
river sent the pot to Helppi, who covered.

Level 3
: 150/300, 300 ante
Jan Schwippert and John Lilic built a pot of about 9,000 preflop and Schwippert, in the small blind, bet 3,000 on 
. Lilic called, bringing the 
. Schwippert bet 6,000 and Lilic called. On the 
river, Schwippert moved to see Lilic's stack. The Canadian obliged by leaning back in his chair, and Schwippert soon shoved for about 22,000 effective.
Lilic didn't think long before releasing.

John Lilic's slide ended, but not in the way he would have hoped. In what looked to be a three-bet pot with Scott Margereson putting in 2,800 on the button, 
flopped. Lilic shoved all in first to act, and Jan Schwippert mucked. Just as quickly, Margereson called and tabled 
.
Lilic was in awful shape with and the 
turn ended things without need for a sweat to the river.
Players are now on break for 15 minutes.

Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
Sam Grafton put in a four-bet shove worth exactly 27,000 from under the gun, and Guenter Castro, who had three-bet on his left, seemed to have a tough decision. He tanked long enough to use two extensions and seemed to be holding his cards as if to fold but then slid in a stack of chips.
Guenter Castro: 
Sam Grafton: 
"Unlucky," Grafton said. "Unlucky situation, I mean!"
As if he jinxed himself, Grafton saw an ugly 
flop, meaning he needed runner-runner or a king. The 
and didn't do it.

: 200/400, 400 ante
Due to a relatively small number of entries — and a decent amount being expected on Day 2 — as well as the late start, only seven levels will be played today instead of the originally scheduled eight.

Level 5
: 250/500, 500 ante
Akin Tuna and Matthias Eibinger checked to Thomas Boivin with 23,000 already in the pot and 
on the felt. Boivin bet 10,000 and only Tuna, in the small blind, called. On the 
river, Tuna checked. Boivin used a time extension and then bet 25,000, nearly all of his remaining chips. Tuna used his own extension before calling.
Boivin tabled 
for fives full and took down the huge pot.
