Lex "L.Veldhuis" Veldhuis is staying alive late in Day 1 with a pot of more than 120k. Both small blind Veldhuis and big blind "mau5trapp1" called a button raise. They all checked the 6♥9♣4♣ flop but Veldhuis fired 34,355 into a pot of 52,325 on the 8♠ turn. Only "mau5trapp1" called to see J♦ on the river but they folded when Veldhuis bet 94,500.
There will be just one more break in Day 1 after the players return from the current pause in play. Alex "FutureofMe" Kulev still leads the top five, but there are two new entries this break.
There are now four levels left in Day 1 action as Level 12 begins. There are now 13 players with a million or more and Alex "FutureofMe" Kulev leads the way with almost 1.7 million. Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle also looks to be doing well on his second bullet.
Christopher "lissi stinkt" Frank capped a million chips recently in a hand against "mamamamama70". Frank turned two pair with "mamamamama70" betting flop and turn. They checked the river, but called when Frank fired 194,884.
Mike "SirWatts" Watson's stack isn't quite what it was a few minutes ago, but he's still playing a healthy stack. He just gave 100k or so to "O Vulgo" at the end of the last level on a tripped board after they bet river for nearly twice the pot.
Meanwhile, Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle busted out on another table.
