Byrne Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Daiva Byrne
Daiva Byrne

After one limp, Daiva Byrne raised and received three callers. The continuation bet of the Unibet Poker ambassador was called by one opponent only with the flop showing {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Byrne's shove on the {2-Hearts} turn went through without resistance.

The table broke right after and Byrne was moved to a table with big stacks Marius Pertea and Silviu Baltatenu.

Fewer Than 100 Players Remain

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Mika Maki-Valtari was left short after his queens were cracked by ace-seven and the remaining few chips were gone when {9-}{7-} was no good against the {10-}{9-} of his opponent.

Florian Udila and Amitai Or were also among the recent bustouts after having enjoyed a decent start into Day 1a, and Andrei Nodea's attempt to run up a stack in a short time was cut short - he is also out.

All no-shows have been taken out and the screens show 167 entries for Day 1a, of which 93 remain.
