Late registration and re-entry for the Winamax Poker Open Dublin Main Event Day 1a is over, with 183 total entries of the course of 15 levels so far today.
It's difficult to compare to last year's Day 1a, as this year's tournament comes with an extra day of registration. It will be interesting, therefore, to see whether or not Day 1a and 1b combined surpass the 373 entries from Day 1a alone last year. On the basis of today, it shan't be difficult.

On a 
flop, big stacks Patrick Clarke and Pierre Calamusa checked to Dominique Potenza who moved all in for 89,000 into a pot of nowhere near that much.
Clarke gave it some thought before Calamusa called.
"Ace-king?" asked Potenza in French as Calamusa turned over 
Potenza turned over 
and continued on a tirade against Calamusa for calling 80,000 with king-ten. The 
run out didn't change things as Potenza doubled his 89,400 stack.
"I had 
," said Clarke, "Pair and a flush draw. If [Calamusa] wasn't there I'd probably have called."

Level 14
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Sander van Wesemael held 
and was flipping against the 
of his opponent, who was all in. The board ran out 
and Van Wesemael took a small knock to his stack.
Meanwhile, last year's runner-up Sonny Franco was counting out his chips after grabbing himself a full double-up with against the 
of an opponent. The board read 
and Franco moved up to around 100,000 in chips.
Lastly, Sylvain Loosli was part of a three-way all in but was ahead with 
against the 
and 
of the short stack. There was a king in the window, but the 
gave Loosli a stranglehold on the pot. The 
runout gave him the best hand, and he more than doubled.
