Re-Entries Allowed Until the Start of Day 2
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Tournament officials have just outlined the re-entry procedure for the Main Event. The schedule states that re-entries are allowed up until the start of Day 2. However, there's a catch.
If a player has fired four bullets (re-entered twice) over both Day 1a and 1b, they will not be allowed to re-enter for a fifth time at the start of Day 2. Basically, players have four chances maximum to make Day 2.
Nurmohammed Gets Flushed Again
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
With three players to the hand at the river Franklin Nurmohammed called a modest bet to see his opponent show a turned flush with his suited one-gappers and muck his hand for the second time in this level.
“I got flushed again,” Nurmohammed said with a wry smile, “I’d better look what’s on the board.”
Not a major setback by any means but wise words for the future.

Talking the Talk
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
On the river of a board reading 
it was checked to Thomas Traboulsi, known as "The Talk.” who said, “I forget what I have so…” and bet 1,500.
His opponent mulled it over and said he thought the river card was good for Trabousli, to which he patted his heart in seeming relief that he hadn’t been quickly called.
His opponent folded and Traboulsi showed him his 
full house. Asked what he had laid down he said Ace-Jack which got a nod of approval and a fist bump from his opponent.

Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
With the board reading 
, Zoran Stancuovic checked to his opponent Marcin Kreft who bet 1,500 into a pot of around 2,900.
Stancuovic then raised to 4,800. His opponent thought for a while. It was a hefty raise, and with just over five minutes left in the first level of the tournament, he elected to fold.
His Serbian opponent moved his cards out as if to fold, and Kreft motioned for Stancuovic to turn them over. He turned over one, the 
, asking Kreft whether it was good. Kreft motioned again to show the other one and Stancuovic obliged showing 
for pocket kings, giving him a full house.
"I will only show once," said Stancuovic, who despite winning this pot is down below the 30,000 stack he started the tournament with.
