Simpson, Lovgren, Grigore and De Jong Eliminated
Level 4
: 200/400, 50 ante
Sofia Lovgren popped up in the field, but she wasn't able to survive that long. She busted out of the tournament and her only chance to make it through to Day 2 is the reentry possibility on Day 1c.
Dex de Jong, Marcel Grigore, and Unibet Ambassador Ian Simpson are in the exact same situation as they also have busted out of the tournament.
Simpson lost the last of his stack with ace-king. He three-bet preflop to 2,500 from the big blind and two players called. The flop came down 
and Simpson continued with a bet of 3,500. He lost one opponent but had to shake off another when the 
turn came down. Simpson check-raised all-in after his opponent bet 8,000. Simpson's all-in was for about 18,000. Simpson's opponent called holding 
and the river wasn't good for Simpson.

Unibet Poker Esports Update
Level 4
: 200/400, 50 ante
So far Phil Schonebaum and Jordy Janssens are the only players who played in the Esports Battle Royale earlier this week and have busted out of the Main Event today. Sophia White played yesterday and she wasn't able to make Day 2 either.
Schonebaum lost the remainder of his stack with jacks against aces and was sent to the rail. Thijs Molendijk also lost a pot already and is down to 22,000 after he lost with two pair while holding ace-king against three-of-a-kind queens.
The hottest running man of the week, Scott McMillan, has the biggest stack of all the esports players and is looking to continue his hot run and win a third tournament this Unibet Open.

Or Can't Improve in Israelian Battle
Level 4
: 200/400, 50 ante
Israelian poker player Amitai Or limped from the hijack and so did his left-hand neighbor Guy Ohayon, also an Israelian poker player. The player in the big blind checked his option and they went to the flop.
The flop came down 
and the big blind checked to Or who lead out with a bet of 1,000. Ohayon called and the player in the big blind threw his hand to the muck.
The turn was the 
and Or bet another 1,000. He got called again by Ohayon and when the 
river card came down both players checked.
Or opened up 
for a pair of fours and a missed flush draw and Ohayon could beat that with 
.
