Poker Streamer Rayan "Beriuzy" Chamas is on an upward trajectory and closed in on the 200,000 mark after taking down a four-bet pot.
With his Arsenal scarf draped over his shoulders, he opened to 2,200 from under the gun before Samuel Polack three-bet to 7,000 from the hijack. Chamas made it 20,500 and was called.
Chamas continued for 7,500 on the A♦Q♠9♠ flop and folded out his opponent.
Graydon Kowal had previously chipped up through Shakhabiddin Muradov when both players hit a full house.
Adrian Vinuela then got his short stack in with the A♣10♥ and Kowal called with the slightly inferior A♦J♠.
The board ran out A♠9♥7♥2♥3♣ and Vinuela departed.
Florian Duta opened to 2,200 from early position and called when Moritz Dietrich three-bet to 6,500 from the hijack.
Duta check-called for 7,500 on the 10♠6♣3♠ flop before the 6♥ turn and 3♦ checked through to showdown.
Duta and Dietrich chopped the pot as they both had two pair with an ace kicker after tabling their A♠K♣ and A♣J♠.
Mathieu Selides opened to 2,200 from early position and Majid Ahmadian called on his direct left.
Selides fired out another 2,200 on the K♣J♠5♠ flop and Ahmadian responded with a raise to 8,000. Selides then jammed for 51,200, and Ahmadian let go of his hand after some time in the tank.
Sleides mucked his cards, and Ahmadian appeared upset that his opponent didn't show, being that he had shown his cards earlier on. Selides also brought up the fact that he had shown a hand or two.
"I did not have it, but I was very happy with my hand," said Selides. That wasn't good enough for Ahmadian as the conversation continued for a few moments longer.
In a pot of 10,500 chips, the action checked to Teun Mulder on the button on a flop of 9♦J♣3♦. He made a bet of 2,700, which Marton Czuczor called in the big blind. Apoorva Goel then jammed all in for 27,000 from middle position and only Mulder made the call.
Apoorva Goel: 10♠10♥
Teun Mulder: K♣J♦
Mulder had a big lead, but the 10♣ turn saw one of Goel's two outs hit to reverse the roles. His other out came on the 10♦ river, doubling him up in style.
It's time for the last 20-minute break of the day. As it stands, 262 players remain from 600 entries.
Play for Day 1a will come to a close after the completion of the next two levels.
Level: 9

First to act, Jason Anand made it 2,500 to go and Bingyiu Hu three-bet to 6,300 from the very next seat. It folded back to Anand and he called.
On a A♥Q♥5♣ flop, Anand check-called for 2,500 before they checked the A♣ turn. Anand also checked the 2♠ river and then folded to another bet by Hu.
It was a quick preflop battle that led to the all-in and call over on table seven. Brandon Mifsud was the player at risk versus Miguel Faria and they flipped for an above-average stack.
Brandon Mifsud: 5♥5♦
Miguel Faria: A♠K♥
The overcards hit on the A♦J♥4♣10♠9♣ board and Mifsud quickly headed out of the tournament area.
