Level 2 has just ended, and players are now headed out of the room for their first break of the day. The total field size has also now broken 100 for Day 1b with 101 entries now on the board. There are only 100 stacks still in play as Irish regular Mick McCloskey was unable to add to his more than $500,000 in career earnings after being the first to bust during Level 2 play when his kings were busted by queens, and shortly after had his aces busted by tens with one ten already folded.

Remaining players will return to the felt in 20 minutes for Level 3 with blinds at 100/300/300.

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Jack Hardcastle bet 1,000 from early position, and it folded around until Kowalczyk Grzegorz called in the big blind. Grzegorz checked the flop, and Hardcastle made a continuation bet of 1,000. Grzegorz check-raised to 3,500, and after a few seconds of thought, Hardcastle mucked his hand.
