Dowling and Hurri Out; Vaka and King Thriving

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Monica Vaka
Monica Vaka

Jari Hurri sent his stack over to table neighbor Greg King, who joined the big stacks after the dinner break.

One table over, Monica Vaka also built her stack after taking from Christopher Stephens. Vaka raised to 2,200 and was called in a battle cutoff versus button. Another 3,500 each followed to the middle on the {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop and the {K-Spades} turn was checked. On the {Q-Spades} river, Vaka check-raised from 10,000 to 22,000 and a visibly confused Stephens reluctantly folded.

Djarii, Sco and Svennoss on the Rail

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Sophia "Djarii" White
Sophia "Djarii" White

Scott "Sco" McMillan had just busted, having nursed a very short stack for quite some time, and his girlfriend Sophia "Djarii" White ran out of chips only moments later.

White had opened to 2,200 and Padraig O'Neill three-bet from two seats over, White then four-bet all in for 25,000 and O'Neill called.

Sophia White: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Padraig O'Neill: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and that was it for "Djarii." To make things even worse for the esports gamers, Sven “Svennoss” Edelenbosch departed just a minute later from one table over to ensure a triple strikeout.

Tompkins Thriving; Mc Cleery Eliminated

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Jason Tompkins flopped a set to score a big pot against John Keown and Jayson Mc Cleery departed soon after from the very same table. Mc Cleery had raised to 2,500 and Greg King from one seat over three-bet to 8,600. Mc Cleery jammed for around 27,000 and was snap-called.

Jayson Mc Cleery: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Greg King: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The board came {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and that was it for the American.

Paul Leckey was also on the ropes and at risk for just 8,100 with the {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}, but big stack Bjorn Kadgien and his {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} remained only ahead until the turn of a board {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{K-Hearts}.

Registration for Day 1b Closed

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With the start of level seven for all remaining 128 players, the registration for the second starting day has officially closed. A field of 198 entries has emerged, more than doubling yesterday's first flight, and more players are expected to take another shot in an hour from now.

Level: 7

Blinds: 500/1,000

Ante: 100

Update on the esport Gamers

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Three esport gamers are in action on the outer tables 18 and higher and that includes Scott "Sco" McMillan, Sophia "Djarii" White and Sven “Svennoss” Edelenbosch, Andrey "reynad" Yanyuk is still on the feature table. McMillan's stack has taken a hit, White moved up by getting through with at least two all ins.

That leaves Edelenbosch, who traded chips with Christopher Heidelbacher in quick succession.

Heidelbacher called a raise to 1,800 by Edelenbosch while in the small blind and they checked the {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop. On the {10-Clubs} turn, Heidelbacher bet 1,600 and Edelenbosch called. The {8-Spades} river was checked and Heidelbacher won the pot with {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

Edelenbosch got the chips back right after when he check-raised the {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} turn from 2,000 to 10,000 in order to force a fold.

Last but not least, Benny Glaser latee-registered Day 1b.

Murariu No More in Day 1b

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Dan Murariu
Dan Murariu

The seat that formerly belonged to Dan Murariu is now vacant and fellow countryman Christopher Heidelbacher was kind enough to provide the details. According to Heidelbacher, Murariu defended out of the blinds with {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and flopped top pair, only for initial raiser Emmett Mullin to snap-call his shove with a flopped set of treys.

No runner-runner miracle kept Murariu in the running and he will have to re-enter on Day 1c to take another shot at a record third Unibet Open Main Event title. He will very likely be joined by fellow two-time champion Mateusz Moolhuizen in 90 minutes from now.

Cahill Can't Beat Farrell

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Monica Vaka limped in and Peter Cahill raised to 2,500, which John Farrell called out of the blinds. Vaka got out of the way and the duo headed to the {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop. The action went check, check, and Farrell then bet the {9-Diamonds} turn for 3,100, Cahill came along.

After the {4-Clubs} river, Farrell bet 2,000 and Cahill grinned, ultimately called after some consideration. Farrell showed the {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and that won the pot.
