With 228 entries recorded on Day 1b of the $5,500 Main Event, play will continue today until only 34 remain.
All of which will bag up their chips and return for Day 2 on Wednesday, August 5, where they will all be in the money.
Level: 11
Blinds: 2,000/5,000
Ante: 5,000
The players are going on a 45-minute dinner break and will return at roughly 8:15 p.m., when blinds will be 2,000/5,000 with a big blind ante of 5,000.
At the conclusion of the break, registration for Day 1b will officially close.
Some of the world’s best poker players will flock to Merit Royal Diamond for the Onyx High Roller Series, with more than $10 million in guarantees on the line across No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha events.
With the series expected to attract elite and fun player fields, Onyx has also outlined a clear set of tournament conditions ahead of time. One of those is a restriction on face coverings. When players have live cards during a hand, sunglasses, masks, scarves, and any intentional covering of the face will not be permitted.
It is one of several tournament rules confirmed ahead of a packed nine-day schedule that runs from August 7-16.
Michal Anzulewicz raised to 8,000 on the button, with Yuxi Huang calling from the small blind and Chady Ojeil defending from the big blind.
When it checked to Anzulewicz on the A♣6♥A♥ flop, he fired out a bet of 9,000, which only Huang called.
Both players checked the 6♣ turn before the 3♥ arrived on the river. Huang led out for 17,000, and after a few moments, Anzulewicz raised to 40,000. Huang tossed in a time bank and went into the tank.
With her camera crew capturing her every move, she was visibly distressed by the spot she found herself in. In the end, she tossed her cards into the muck, surrendering the pot to Anzulewicz.
Viktor Iarilov raised from the cutoff and Elio Farah jammed for 46,000 from the big blind. Iarilov called.
Elio Farah: A♣Q♦ 
Viktor Iarilov: A♦8♠
Iarilov was dominated by Farah's bigger ace, and nothing changed on the 9♦5♦J♥3♥6♣ runout, meaning around a third of Iarilov's stack was sent to Farah.
With around 60,000 in the middle on the completed board of 4♦2♦9♦K♥10♥, Dmitry Gromov checked from the hijack and Aleksandr Chernikov fired for 35,000 from the cutoff.
Gromov thought about it momentarily and then made the call. Chernikov revealed a flopped flush with 10♦7♦, and Gromov mucked.
Level: 10
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
