Six levels have been completed and the Day 1a field has reached a total of 242 entries. Only 136 players still have chips at their disposal and they have been sent into a scheduled 20-minute break with two-thirds of today's schedule now concluded.
The action started with a button raise by Benyamin Glot to 2,000 and Daniele Lunario then three-bet to 7,600 in the small blind, which Glot opted to call. As they headed to the ![]()
![]()
flop on which Glot continued for 8,600 and picked up a call by Glot.
The
turn paired the board and Lunario pushed all-in for the 17,200 he had behind. Some 20 seconds were required by Glot, who then made the call.
Daniele Lunario: ![]()
![]()
Benyamin Glot: ![]()
![]()
Lunario was ahead but vaulted out of his seat to see the
appear on the river, improving his table neighbour to a straight. "How can you call?" Lunario said on his way out.

Sebastian Langrock: ![]()

Willem Foppen: ![]()

Heads-up to the ![]()
![]()
![]()
turn, Matthias Wieser pushed all-in from the hijack and the champion of the last WSOPC Main Event at King's Resort, Feyzullah Karaarslan, instantly called.
"Do you have the queen?" Wieser immediately sighed and tabled ![]()
for a flush draw. That had no equity as Karaarslan indeed flipped over the ![]()
for the full house, which made the
river a formality. Karaarslan doubled for 26,200 and the table broke right after with Wieser looking for his new table while holding a very short stack.
