On Day 1a, there was no break after the end of level 13 and instead the chip race of the T-100 denominations was done at the end of the night before bagging and tagging. Today, there is a slight change of plan and the players have been sent on a 10-minute break. One more level will be played after before Day 1b is done and dusted.
Jean Rampiere raised to 6,100 and Vadzim Lipauka flat-called. Dirty Harry called as well in the small blind before Francisco Arce then three-bet to 24,000. Rampiere and Lipauka both folded, Dirty Harry moved all in for around 60,000 and Arce quickly called.

Arce:

and the two chopped the pot for a slightly profit.

The hyper-aggressive Reinhard Foidl is not only back in action, but has become a contender for the chip lead.
Quinten Spyckerelle open-shoved the button for 26,000 and Michael Schöning in the small blind tanked. Reinhard Foidl joked out of the big blind "just get it in, I call anyways. Then I can bust two."
