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.

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}.

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.

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.

Break After Level 7 for Day 1b

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Only 101 players out of 198 entries remain for Day 1b and they have been sent into a 15-minute break. In the meanwhile, a few flip out SNG satellites for the turbo heat 1c kicked off to create plenty of noise and craic at the right side of the tournament area.

Day 1c will kick off shortly and more than 30 players are already registered.

Kron Busts Leckey and Wiborg Amid Confusion

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Andreas Wiborg
Andreas Wiborg

Paul Leckey had lost a big pot and was left with 400 chips, forced all in from the small blind and not in his seat when the cards were back in the air. When he had arrived to his seat, there had been significant action already as 2018 Unibet Open London champion Andreas Wiborg moved all in for 13,100 in the cutoff and was called by Julien Kron on the button.

Leckey, however, had not been dealt any cards and the floorman was called to determine the proper proceeding. Since Leckey would have been forced all in and his cards mucked already at that point, it was ruled as a live hand and Leckey's elimination was confirmed prior to the showdown. Only then, Wiborg and Kron tabled their cards.

Andreas Wiborg: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Julien Kron: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The board came {J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Kron rivered a flush to eliminate Wiborg.

Leckey had already returned with a new ticket in the hand, a glass of wine in the other, and headed over to the turbo heat 1c.
