Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Dimitrios Angelakos
Dimitrios Angelakos

After a preflop raising war between Dimitrios Angelakos in the cutoff and Kalle Parkkinen on the button, Parkkinen's starting stack of about 30,000 ended up in the middle. Angelakos called and the cards were turned over.

Kalle Parkkinen: 10♠10♦ All in
Dimitrios Angelakos: K♣K♥

Parkkinen had run his pocket tens straight into Angelakos' cowboys, leaving him in need of some help.

None arrived on the 5♦7♦4♠9♥K♠ runout. Parkkinen hit the showers, while Angelakos raked in the pot to climb above 100,000.

Villamarin Can't Get Away From the Ladies

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Paul Tait raised under the gun to 700 and Carlos Chadha Villamarin called from the next seat. Edgard Moreau squeezed to 2,100 on the button before Tait four-bet to 5,700. Villamarin and Moreau both came along with a call.

The 8♣2♥4♣ flop came down and Tait continued for 7,500. Villamarin called while Moreau got out of the way.

When the 10♠ landed on the turn, Tait shoved, covering Villamarin. With 18,000 left in his stack, Villamarin thought for about two minutes before putting in the call.

Carlos Chadha Villamarin: Q♣Q♠ All in
Paul Tait: K♥K♦

Villamarin was pipped by one and needed to find one of the two remaining queens on the river to survive.

Instead, it was Tait who improved as the K♠ gave him a set, sending Villamarin to the rail and all of his chips Tait's way.

Zhou Flushes Out Moreira

Quan Zhou
Quan Zhou

In a three-way pot, Quan Zhou checked first from the big blind on the 4♠9♠5♥ flop, and Andre Moreira checked behind in middle position. Thomas M'bodj fired for 1,700 on the button, which Zhou called before Moreira check-raised to 6,700. M'bodj got out of the way, but Zhou responded by jamming, covering Moreira.

Moreira had about 14,000 left in his stack and went deep into the tank. Repeatedly counting his stack and visibly torn on how to proceed, he eventually stacked up his chips and slammed them into the middle.

Andre Moreira: A♥8♥ All in
Quan Zhou: 7♠5♠

Zhou was ahead with a pair and a flush draw, and although Moreira paired up on the 8♠ turn, the same card improved Zhou to an unbeatable flush, sealing Moreira's fate.

The 4♥ river was a formality, sending Moreira to the rail while Zhou climbed to almost two starting stacks.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With 9,800 in the pot, small blind Iegor Zarev bet 6,000 on the 2♥8♦8♣5♦ turn. Georgios Vrakas quickly called in the big blind, leading to the 6♥ appearing on the river.

Zarev moved in his remaining stack of 13,800, and Vrakas folded after a bit of thought. Vrakas was left with about 16,000, but he lost the other half of his starting stack not much later to be knocked out.

Over at another table, Timur Margolin also booked an early exit on Day 1a.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

On a completed board of 10♣K♣9♣2♥8♥, Ibrahim Ghassan added 7,500 to the pot of 9,200 from the big blind.

Alon Huberman quickly called under the gun, but his J♥J♦ was no good against the Q♣4♣ of Ghassan, who had flopped a flush, leaving Huberman with just 500.

The next hand, Guillermo Sanz raised to 500 under the gun. Francesco Di Profio called in middle position, seeing Juho Suutari three-bet to 2,200 in the hijack. Huberman quickly called off his final chips in the big blind, and Sanz and Di Profio came along as well.

After Sanz checked the 5♦7♦9♥ flop, Di Profio led out with a bet of 2,700. Suutari called before Sanz folded. Di Profio sized up to 3,200 on the 6♦ turn, again seeing his opponent call.

The Q♠ river was then checked to showdown. Di Profio tabled 10♦9♣ for a pair of nines. Suutari had been ahead the whole way with Q♦Q♣, and his rivered set won him the pot when Huberman showed 3♠3♦ to confirm his exit.

Hugo Gotuzzo
Hugo Gotuzzo

Four-way to the monotone Q♠J♠6♠ flop, Lev Margolin and Eldiyar Janiev checked from the blinds, allowing John Driver to bet 1,000 from the hijack. Hugo Gotuzzo called on the button before Margolin check-raised to 4,500. Janiev and Driver got out of the way, but Gotuzzo responded by jamming for about 20,000. Margolin called.

Hugo Gotuzzo: A♠9♦ All in
Lev Margolin: 5♠4♠

Despite having the best hand with a flopped flush and the covering stack, Margolin was the one out of his seat as he waited to see if he could dodge another spade.

The 8♣ turn and 4♦ river were no help to Gotuzzo, sending him to the rail in the first level of the Main Event.
