How Matt Eardley took the Chip Lead of Day 1a

Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ramin Hajiyev just walked past the media table with a ticket in the hand and confirmed that he busted in the very last hand of the previous day against Matt Eardley. Hajiyev's pocket kings ended up second best after Eardley flopped a set of jacks before the remaining chips went in.

"I was so happy to go into Day 2 with 90 big blinds and not do all this over again," Hajiyev added and will be in action shortly on Day 1b.

Terentiev Pushes Out Loeser

Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Manig Loeser's raise was followed by a three-bet to 55,000 by Sergey Terentiev. Loeser four-bet to 140,000 and Terentiev asked for his stack size before calling. The flop fell {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Terentiev check-raised from 100,000 to 300,000. Loeser called and was then pushed all in for around half a million chips on the {6-Spades} turn.
