Alexandru Papazian, the first Romanian to win a bracelet for his home country at the World Series of Poker, has been spotted in the field. However, he looked somewhat different as the signature beard he had been sporting the last few years was gone and a second glance was needed to verify it was indeed Papazian.
Carmen Zainescu and Silviu Baltateanu have started well and the current chip leader appears to be Gabriel Gavrila.

Benjamin Lebor had started well only to drop well below the starting stack. Lebor just bounced back above what he started with and "made things life" according to the table chat. Facing a squeeze to 3,800, Lebor simply jammed for more than 29,000 and that forced a fold from his sole remaining opponent.
Nils Jeppsson has also moved back above the starting stack. The Swede check-raised a ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
river from 2,900 to 7,500 in a battle small blind versus button and his opponent folded.
