Registration is open for a little over an hour. After the fourth level of play the registration will close, and the prize pool will be calculated. Right now the clock tells us there are 230 players for Day 1b, but that might not be entirely accurate as that's been there the entire day so far.
The player under the gun plus one opened for 500 and right next to him it was local hero Reino Rasmussen who made it 1,100 to go. Action folded back to the initial raiser who called.
The flop came 
and a check followed from the initial raiser. Rasmussen bet 1,500 and received a call. The early position player check called another 1,500 on the 
turn and 4,300 on the 
river.
Rasmussen showed 
for the second nuts, and his opponent mucked.

Rasmus Vogt was down to just 15,000, but two big pots helped him get back in the game.
First he opened the button for 500 and both the small blind and Jens Hansen in the blind called. Both blinds checked on 
and Vogt bet out 800. The small blind folded, Hansen called. Hansen check called another 1,800 on the 
turn and 3,000 on the 
river. Hansen mucked as Vogt showed 
for a rivered straight.
Not much later he got in an even bigger hand, again with Hansen. Jens opened for 500 under the gun plus two and Rasmus Vogt called out of the hijack. The button came along as well and a flop appeared.
Hansen bet 800 and both Vogt and the button called. Hansen continued for 2,100 on the turn and just Vogt made the call. The 
fell on the river and Hansen bet out 5,000 into the 8.625 pot. Vogt raised all in for 12,950 and Hansen made the call holding 
. Vogt was the proud owner of 
though and won it with quads!

A twenty minute break for the players.
Yesterday Dutchman Vincent van der Fluit was the sole bracelet winner, and today we spotted another one.

Frederik Jensen, last years winner, has taken his seat at the same table as Mike Hill and Rikard Aberg. Just now we saw an interesting hand at that table.
A player in early position opened to 600 and two players called in middle position. Rikard Aberg in the cutoff and Mike Hill on the button over called, Frederik Jensen folded his big blind.
The flop came 
and the initial raiser fired out another 600. Two folds later Aberg made the call. Hill raised it up to 1,500 and the initial raiser made the call, Aberg folded.
Both players checked the on the turn and the on the river completed the board. The initial raiser bet out 4,000 and Hill made the call.
Hill had 
for top pair and beat the 
the initial raiser had. Easy game!
