It's been a great start to the $25,000 WSOP Super Main Event on Day 1a with 328 entries in the opening two levels of the day. Here is a look at the highlights from the first two levels. The players are heading on their first 15-minute break of the day.
Two players saw the K♥Q♦6♠10♣ turn, and Daniel Zack checked from the big blind to Matt Glantz who was under the gun. Glantz fired a pot-sized bet of 20,000, and Zack made the call.
When the 2♣ rolled off on the river, Zack check-folded to another bet of 65,000 from Glantz.
Glantz slid his hand toward Zack for him to look, and the dealer enforced a 'show one show all'. The 8♥7♥ bluff was shown face-up as Glantz pulled in the pot.
Action was three-way to a completed board showing 4♥Q♥K♦6♠4♣. Maxime Dube led out from the big blind for 60,000 and was called by Dario Sammartino in the hijack.
Tsugunari Toma took some time on the button, opting to let his hand go. Dube tabled A♠Q♣ for two pair, taking down a nice pot as Sammartino slid his cards to the dealer.
Joey Weissman raised it up to 8,000 on the button and Mikhail Iakovlev reraised to 28,000 from the small blind. Weissman called and the dealer spread the flop of Q♠Q♣Q♦.
Iakovlev led out with a bet of 11,000 and Weissman stuck around for the 7♣ on the turn. Iakovlev fired out another bet of 26,000 and Weissman finally relinquished as he flashed the K♣. Iakovlev returned the favor by showing his Q♥ for flopped quads.
Timothy Adams raised to 7,000 in early position and picked up three callers along the way. The flop came 8♠4♥3♥ and the action checked around to the J♠ on the turn.
The blinds checked again and Adams fired out a bet of 16,000. Jorge Pacheco called on his left and both of the blinds eventually folded. The river was the 6♥ and Adams announced a bet of 72,000. Pacheco mulled it over for a minute but opted to lay his hand down.
Fabian Bernhauser had 8,000 already across the line from middle position and called a three-bet of 31,000 from Frederic Delval in the small blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♠10♦7♥, and Delval continued for 27,000. Bernhauser responded with a raise of 67,000 and Delval quickly called.
The 5♥ hit the turn and Delval checked it over to Bernhauser who continued for 115,000. Delval sighed as he pushed his cards face down toward the dealer.
