Raemaekers Takes Down a Big One
Level 6
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Joep Raemaekers and Jack Sinclair arrived at the river on a 
board, with nearly 200,000 already in the pot. Raemaekers, on the big blind, thought things over for awhile before putting 207,000 more in the pot.
Sinclair thought it over briefly before folding.

Scholten Starts on the Right Foot
Level 6
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
The 
board was already out on the table and the pot had 220,000 in it when what looked like a spectacular three-way pot slowed down severely. Joel Isla Gonzalo had checked from the big blind, Freek Scholten had checked from middle position, and the last player in the pot, David Hu, had checked from the Cutoff.
Gonzalo was the first one to show 
but Scholten had a better pair with 
. Hu mucked and the pot was pushed to Scholten.

Hoog and Gruissem Chop
Level 6
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Philipp Gruissem started the hand out slow by limping from the under-the-gun position. Jesper Hoog raised to 52,000 when it had folded to him and the action then folded back to Gruissem.
Gruissem decided to put it all in and Hoog was reluctant with the call.
Philipp Gruissem: 
Jesper Hoog: 
The board ran out 
and they knew they were going to chop after the turn card was dealt.
They chopped it op and continued on their way to Day 2.

Small Pot for Zyrin
Level 6
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
The board was already dealt 
when Anatoliy Zyrin bet 35,000 after Ben Heath had checked to him from the small blind. Heath took his time to think about before eventually folding his two cards.
Zyrin has 23 recorded cashes at the King's Resort in Rozvadov and could make it 24 if he makes it through to Day 3. First he has to make it through to Day 2 and he will have to survive 2,5 hours of play to do so.

Partypoker Pro Simunic Eliminated
Level 6
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Josip Simunic was seen walking away from the tournament area earlier and it was confirmed that he was eliminated from the tournament. Simunic started the day off on the wrong foot when he was outkicked when both he and his opponent had three-of-a-kind aces.
He then lost some more chips with pocket tens against ace-queen, only to bust out with ace-queen against pocket nines minutes later.
The partypoker Pro can reenter into Day 1b if he chooses to.
