The plan for the day is to play five 90-minute levels, or till the tournament is down to 16 players. Polish prodigy Dzmitry Urbanovich leads with 495,600 in chips, Fedor Holz with 416,600 in chips is second on the leader board.

There's work to be done for the likes of Michael Huber (34,600), Artur Koren (37,000) and Austria's third all time money earner Erich Kollmann (38,500). The levels are structured as followed today:

Level	Small Blind	Big Blind	Ante

Early Observations

Webjoker

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Jens Lakemeier is already squeezing lemon juice over his two giant schnitzels. In the country of schnitzels, the breaded meat can be eaten at any time, even breakfast and lunch.
"Ohhh! It's the new style!" laughed Sotirios Koutoupas after he unsuccessfully isolated Jitka Seidler's limp. She limp reraised all in and Koutoupas folded after having raised to 7,000 from the button.
Artur Koren is seated right next to Fedor Holz and the contrast couldn't be bigger. Koren is one of the shortest stacks in the house, Holz one of the biggest. The tournament director asked if Koren could clearly separate his stack from Holz who was still stacking, and Koren got slightly irritated by the request.
