, Lelek was spotted betting 100,000 and his sole opponent called. Lelek turned over 
for the straight and scooped the pot.
Below are further updated chip counts of several notables.
Anatoly Filatov is off to a flying start on Day 1b of the Main Event and took down the High Roller in the early morning hours. Here is what he had to say last night:
Claudius Istrate opened the action and got a call from Mustafa Uyar.
The flop was 
and Istrate checked it over to Uyar who bet 75,000.
Istrate went for the check-raise to 190,000 and Uyar called.
The turn was the 
and both players checked to see the 
complete the board.
A check from Istrate saw Uyar think for a while before assembling a tower of chips which he slid forwards. As the dealer was breaking down the bet, which was around 250,000, Istrate threw in the calling chips.
Uyar tabled 
for a full house.
Istrate was far from happy as he showed his losing 
. “So sick,” he said as Uyar collected the pot and continued for a while to lament his fate, “So lucky.”
A little smile did play across the lips of the silent Uyar.
We joined the action on a 
board, with Hossein Ensan check-raising a 35,000 bet to 130,000. His opponent made the call as they headed to a 
turn, where Ensan continued for 140,000. His opponent thought for a second before moving all-in. Ensan called instantly and the cards were on their backs.
Ensan's 
had his opponent's 
drawing dead, but had the shorter stack, so left his opponent a handful of chips back while picking up the full double.
All players are allowed to take a single re-entry per starting day and Marcel Luske as well as Artur Wasek took advantage of that option to re-enter the field with a fresh stack. According to the screens, there are 256 entries for Day 1b thus far with 227 players remaining.
Viktor Langlitz remains at the top of the counts while Robin Hegele also built his stack. Roman Cieslik was left short with just 20 big blinds recently, but he doubled up to get back into contention.
Jiri Horak raised to 15,000 and Sebastian Langrock called before the hijack raised to 35,000. Horak clicked it up to 115,000 and Langrock folded, the hijack called. On the 
flop, Horak checked and called a bet of 150,000 before both players checked the 
turn.
Horak's bet of 100,000 on the 
river was called by the hijack, who was relieved as Horak turned over for two pair only. The hijack had the better two pair on 
and scooped the pot, but remains below the starting stack.
Anatoly Filatov almost immediately doubled his stack and fellow High Rollers Paul Michaelis and Hossein Ensan share the same table, but it was Frank Robotka that scooped the last hand.
On a three-way flop of 
, Robotka checked out of the small blind and Filatov bet 35,000. The player in the hijack called and Robotka check-raised to 103,000. Filatov folded and the hijack called. After the turn, Robotka instantly moved all in and forced a fold from his sole remaining opponent.
The board at the turn read 
.
Jurgen Dezius had bet 75,000.
Action was on Jan Demjan and behind him stood local celebrity and owner of the next-door massage parlour, chiKKita banAAna who is his father. Demjan is also in a bright yellow sponsored Team chiKKita banAAna top resplendent with patches.
Demjan had just over a pot sized bet behind and in the middle it went as banAAna Sr. gripped his son’s shoulders.
Both Dezius and Stefan Fuchs made the call so cards were on their backs.
Dezius:
Fuchs: 
Demjan: 
The dealer put out a river card 
.
Dezius was felted, Fuchs collected a side pot with his two pair, and Demjan tripled up with his flopped set of jacks.
A delighted chiKKita banAAna cried, “Triple up!” as his son grinned and stacked the chips.
Anatoly Filatov opened with a raise to 15,000 from the cutoff, picking up the player on the button, Paul Michaelis in the small blind, and the player in the big blind. They took a 
flop four ways, with action checking round to Filatov who put out a continuation bet worth 50,000. It was only Michaelis who flopped nothing, with the remaining three players seeing an turn.
Filatov went for a second barrel, this time asking for 125,000. The player on the button was convinced and mucked his hand, while the big blind stuck around to see another card. The came on the river, with Filatov loading the clip and firing out 325,000 when checked to. The big blind made the call, showing 
for a flush, but was no good versus Filatov's for the absolute nuts.
It looks as if Filatov is starting where he left off: after winning the High Roller side event outright in the early hours of this morning, he's off to a great start in the Main Event.
