Veldhuis Stays Above 500k
Level 12
: Blinds 3,500/7,000, 875 ante
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.

25 Entries from Guarantee
Level 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
With 475 entries on the board now the game is just 25 entries away from the $5 million guarantee. Level 13 has just started, so there are three levels of play left in Day 1, but players can enter until the start of Day 2. Players buying in now sit down with about 31 bigs.
Moorman Gets there, then Doesn't
Level 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Chris "Moorman1" Moorman raised early to 16.8k from a stack of about 230k, then tank-called his stack off when big blind Moritz "MuckCallOK" Dietrich shoved with more. Moorman started in rough shape with tens into queens but quickly spiked a ten on the flop to take the lead.
It was short-lived however as Dietrich rivered a queen for the bigger set.
