Day 1d Field Grows as Day 1c Returns from Dinner Break

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

The Day 1d field continues to grow but the pace has increased in the last 15 minutes. The Day 1c field has just returned from dinner break and as players are eliminated over there, they are quickly jumping into the last flight possible. The tournament staff is feverishly trying to open as many tables as possible to accommodate the new entries. The Day 1d field now sits at 223 entries with late registration open until the end of level 10.

Parmiggiani Stays Alive

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Leonardo Parmiggiani was under the gun and raised to 6,000, leaving himself with just 200 chips behind. The action folded to Malek Grabsi in the small blind who made the call. Ruslan Volkov flashed his {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} in the big blind, not realizing there was still action pending.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts} and the two players quickly got the last of the 200 chips in the middle as well. Parmiggiani was ahead with {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} against the {q-Spades}{j-Spades} of Grabsi.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and the river was the {5-Diamonds} which gave Parmiggiani the double up in order to stay alive.

Ricci Forced to Fold to Nguyen

Level 5 : 200/500, 500 ante

Andrea Ricci raised to 1,000 in the cutoff and Quoc Nguyen three-bet to 4,000 from the big blind. Ricci called and the flop came {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Nguyen checked to Ricci who announced a bet of 4,500. Nguyen check-raised to 12,000 and Ricci just called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Nguyen shoved all in, putting Ricci to the test for his remaining stack of around 11,000. The Italian sighed in disbelief but reluctantly ditched his cards to the muck.

Cordeschi Playing with Rags

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

With a flop of {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} spread across the table, three players were still in the hand. They each contributed 7,000 chips to the pot on the flop and the {7-Clubs} landed on the turn.

Alessio Curia started with a check from the big blind and Massimiliano Cordeschi followed suit from a couple of seats over. Stephen Woodhead checked from the cutoff as well and the {2-Clubs} paired the board on the river.

Curia shoved all in for around 16,000 which was followed by a quick call from Cordeschi. Woodhead got out of the way and Curia turned over {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. That was no good as Cordeschi made a full house with {3-Spades}{2-Spades} to eliminate Curia.
