Thomas Boivin made it 40,000 to go from middle position. Kalle Parkkinen then three-bet to 130,000 on the button, and Boivin called. Parkkinen continued for 85,000 on the 2♠2♦7♣ flop, seeing his opponent check-call.
The 9♠ turn and 3♠ river were subsequently checked by the duo. Boivin showed A♦J♠, but was outkicked by Parkkinnen's A♥K♠.

The 88 remaining players have been sent on their last 15-minute break of the evening. When they return, they will play three more 40-minute levels before Day 1a wraps up.
Vitalijs Korhs kicked off the action by raising to 30,000 under the gun. It folded to Terrance Reid on the button, who three-bet to 75,000. Matthias Lipp was in the big blind and reraised to 230,000, enough to fold out Korhs.
However, Reid wanted to see a flop, and he called. On 2♥K♦K♣, Lipp continued for 55,000. Reid called to the 4♣ turn, where Lipp sized up to 210,000.
Reid tossed in more calling chips, but Lipp's final wager of 643,000, which left him with only a single chip behind, was ultimately too much for Reid. The American player relinquished his cards, conceding the pot to Lipp.
Akihiro Konishi made it 30,000 to go from middle position. Eric Tsai flat-called on the button, enticing Oliver Bithell to squeeze in his stack of 344,000 from the small blind.
Konishi folded, but Tsai looked his opponent up, covering him.
Oliver Bithell: K♠10♠ 
Eric Tsai: K♦Q♠
Bithell had the worst of it, and the 9♥7♦5♣ flop did not help much. The 10♦ turn did, though, giving him a pair to win the pot on the 2♣ river.
Jessica Teusl open-shoved for 108,000 from middle position. Fahredin Mustafov called in the small blind, and the players showed down.
Jessica Teusl: Q♠Q♣
Fahredin Mustafov: A♠K♣
Mustafov connected on the A♥8♣4♣ flop, and Teusl could not retaliate on the J♥ turn or 9♣ river, spelling the end of her Day 1a.
Thomas Boivin opened to 30,000 from middle position. Ren Lin flat-called in the small blind, and Mohamed El-Wely defended his big blind. The A♠A♦K♦ flop checked to Boivin, who continued with a bet of 20,000.
Lin called, but El-Wely upped the ante to 80,000. Boivin folded before Lin back-raised to 140,000. El-Wely just called, and Lin requested a "Lady Gaga" on the turn.
The 8♦ turn brought no lady, and it checked through to the 3♠ river. Lin put his opponent all in, and El-Wely snap-called for 190,000.
"Flush?" Lin asked as he showed A♥Q♥ for trip aces.
El-Wely did not have a flush, but his A♣3♣ had made a full house on the river, earning him the pot to double up.
"No future," Lin concluded.
