With 178 entries recorded on Day 1a of the $10,400 Premiere, play will continue today until only 27 remain.
All of which will bag up their chips and return for Day 2 on Monday, August 10, where they will all be in the money.
Fabian Gumz raised to 10,000 from the hijack, and Artur Martirosian called from the cutoff.
Both players checked the 6♣Q♣J♥ flop to see the 5♠ arrive on the turn. Gumz then fired a delayed continuation-bet of 22,000, which Martirosian called.
The 3♦ completed the board, and Gumz checked. Martirosian moved Gumz all in for around 54,000, and Gumz quickly released his cards to the dealer.
Timo Kamphues moved all in for his short stack from the small blind, and Ali Hadighi looked him up from the big blind.
Timo Kamphues: Q♠7♠
Ali Hadighi: A♦10♦
Hadighi was ahead, but Kamphues still had two live cards working in his favor.
The 10♣9♦A♠ flop was a disaster for Kamphues, as Hadighi improved to top two pair. However, the 8♠ turn was just about the perfect card for him, adding both straight and flush outs.
Unfortunately for Kamphues, the 7♦ river was not one of them, and he headed to the rail.
With around 140,000 in the pot on a board of 8♥7♦10♦3♠, Fabian Schmidt checked from the big blind before Sergio Aido moved all in for 75,000 from the button.
Schmidt went deep into the tank before eventually deciding to call and put Aido at risk.
Sergio Aido: A♣9♣
Fabian Schmidt: A♥Q♥
Schmidt held only ace-high, although he was ahead of Aido's inferior ace-high with a straight draw.
The 2♥ river changed nothing, and Schmidt's hero call with ace-high brought Aido's tournament to an end.
Level: 10
Blinds: 2,000/5,000
Ante: 5,000
The 74 players are heading on a 75-minute break and will return at approximately 9:06 p.m., when blinds will be 2,000/5,000 with a big blind ante of 5,000.
Once play resumes, late registration for Day 1a will officially close.
Timur Margolin raised to 8,000 from middle position before Caner Gunes three-bet to 30,000 from the small blind. Margolin called.
Gunes fired a continuation-bet of 20,000 on the 7♦9♥2♣ flop, which Margolin called.
The 10♦ arrived on the turn, and Gunes moved all in for his remaining stack of around 80,000. Margolin went into the tank before eventually deciding to fold, allowing Gunes to drag in the pot.
