Marc Palatzky checked out of late position on the K♦7♥3♥J♦3♠ river and Thiago Silva De Morgado in the cutoff bet the pot for 44,200. The reluctant call by Palatzky followed but he could not beat the A♣A♥7♦3♣ for treys full of sevens by Silva De Morgado.
With most big names absent so far, Day 1a has attracted a field of 99 entries. Only 74 players have chips at their disposal half-way through level six.
Michal Schuh was among the 12 contestants who purchased a re-entry as he jumped back into the mix.
David Monino Marquez raised to 2,500 and received four callers including Inaki Gonzales in the hijack and Antonio Postiglione on the button. The 10♦6♥5♥ flop was checked around before it checked to Gonzales on the 10♣ turn. He bet 5,000 before Postiglione raised to 15,000, which forced out all opponents thereafter including big stack Gonzales.
The last few chips of Pawel Keller only went in after the K♣J♥9♦A♠8♣ river and Glib Karpov eventually called.
Keller tabled his J♠10♦8♥4♠ for tens and eights, and Karpov had that beat by exposing the K♠J♦XxXx for kings and jacks.
On the A♥K♥9♥2♦ turn, Ryan Oliver bet 12,000 into 17,500 and Predrag Vulovic reluctantly folded to give Oliver a boost to his shorter stack.
Oliver then bet the 7♥4♥2♣K♣ turn for 23,000 and Adolf Buettner called. Oliver had around 25,000 behind and jammed the 7♦ river only for Buettner to call.
The Canadian flipped over A♣A♥9♥5♥ for aces up and a busted heart nut flush draw. However, that was no good as Buettner's A♦Q♥8♣7♣ had rivered trips sevens.
Level: 6
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
In a battle of the blinds, Fabian Riebau-Schmithals and Angelo Riccio invested 10,000 to the A♠K♣10♣ flop. Riccio bet 5,000 when checked to and received a call by Riebau-Schmithals, who then potted the 9♠ turn.
Riccio folded and was shown the Q♥10♠6♥2♠ by Riebau-Schmithals.
On the tail end of a heads-up encounter to the 10♣6♥4♥J♠J♣ river, Piero Alioto bet two thirds of a medium-sized pot. Leonid Yanovski reluctantly called and mucked when Alioto revealed the K♦Q♥J♥2♠ for a busted flush draw but back door trips.
Ali Balci was in the tank out of the big blind on the Q♦6♣6♥3♣J♦ river. With more than 100,000 in the middle, Adolf Buettner on the button had bet 75,000 and Balci tank-folded, asking his opponent if he had pocket queens.
At the same time, Alfredo Vega Meister vanished on a nearby table and Fabian Rolli added even more chips to his growing tower.
