Level 1
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Anatoly "nl_profit" Filatov opened to 4,800 in the hijack and was three-bet to 24,000 by Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez, who was in the small blind. Filatov called and the two players saw the flop come 
. Benitez made a continuation-bet of 35,300 and Filatov called.
The turn was 
. Benitez continued with a second barrel of 50,650 and Filatov called once more, bringing the river 
. Benitez checked and Filatov went all in for 140,000. Benitez made the call.
Filatov showed 
for a pair of sevens, which proved to be no good to Benitez's 
. Benitez found his call with a pair of queens to be correct and he earned the first knockout of the tournament, taking an early vault up the leader board as he now finds himself with over 545,000.
