Mads Amot raised to 14,000 from middle position with Marcus Dieleman callingin the cutoff, Mark Vella calling on the button, and Joni Jouhkimainen calling out of the small blind.

When it checked to Dieleman on the 5♠6♠Q♣ fop, he bet 30,000, and Vella immediately raised to 150,000. After two folds, Dieleman three-bet jammed for 170,000 and Vela quickly called.

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Youness Barakat has just taken his seat with a fresh starting stack of 250,000, which is fifty times more than he finished with at the end of Day 1a’s marathon fourteen-hour session.

Barakat survived the opening flight with just a single blue T-5,000 chip, and somehow did enough to reach the money and secure a spot on Day 2 of the Main Event, after Liviu Ignat busted on the bubble with aces.

After opting to forfeit that stack and collect a min cash, Barakat now has the opportunity to run up a healthy stack and play with some real room to manoeuvre on Day 2.

Gergo Nagy raised to 10,5000 from early position and Carlo van Ravenswoud three-bet to 36,000 from the button. Nagy called when it got back to him.

Nagy knuckled the action over to Van Ravenswoud on the A♣6♦J♠ flop, and Ravenswoud continued with a bet of 40,000.

Nagy tanked briefly, used a time bank, then opted to check-raise the pot. Van Ravenswoud snap-folded and Nagy picked up a hefty pot without seeing the turn.

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Vincent Khoueiry raised the button before Eelis Parssinen three-bet to 30,000 out of the small blind. Khoueiry called and the dealer fanned out the A♣K♣3♠ flop.

Parssinen fired out for around 30,000, which Khoueiry called and the 7♥ arrived on the turn.

Parssinen quickly tossed out a second barrel totalling 126,000, causing Khoueiry to go into the tank.

Khoueiry only had around 140,000 or so left in his stack, and after using a couple of time banks, he returned his cards to the dealer and gave up the pot to Parssinen.

Eelis Parssinen	450,000 150,000	150,000

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Three ways to the turn on a board of Q♣2♠7♠5♦. Jelle de Kroon checked from under the gun, and Basem Abudavas bet 35,000 from the hijack. Tom-Aksel Bedell called in the cutoff, while De Kroon folded.

Abudavas went for a check on the 3♥ river, allowing Bedell to bet 65,000. Abudavas check-jammed, covering Bedell, and Bedell reluctantly called for his remaining 130,000.

Abudavas showed the nuts with Q♦6♠5♠4♦ to win the pot, as Bedell revealed A♠4♠ for an inferior straight as he headed to the exit.

Player	Chips	Progress
Basem Abudavas	800,000 155,000	155,000
Jelle de Kroon	500,000 270,000	270,000

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Riku Santeri made it 9,000 from the hijack before Quan Zhou three-bet to 31,000 from the button. Santeri called when it folded back to him.

Upon seeing the 10♥J♣10♣ flop roll out, Santeri decided to lead out for roughly 23,000. Zhou potted it, and Santeri quickly jammed for 162,500. Zhou called and the cards were tabled.

Riku Santeri: A♥Q♠10♠5♥ All in
Quan Zhou: A♣K♥Q♣9♠

Santeri had trip tens against the wrap and flush draw of Zhou.

A Q♦ arrived on the turn to improve Santeri to a boat, and meant Zhou could only bustSanteri with the king of clubs on the river to give him a royal flush.

The dealer burned a card the peeled off the 8♦ on the river, and Santeri doubled through Zhou with a full house.

Riku Santeri	335,000 149,000	149,000
Quan Zhou	27,500 225,500	225,500
