A preflop contest saw Akim Aouine at risk for what appeared to be around 35,000 out of the big blind and he was successfully isolated by Volkan Alkan.
Akim Aouine: ![]()
![]()
Volkan Alkan: ![]()
![]()
The board ran out ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and the kings held up to send Aouine to the rail. While Alkan's stack is quite impressive already, he sits right next to the current chip leader [Removed:346].

Out of a field of 268 entries, only 197 players remain and they have been sent into a scheduled 30-minute dinner break.
The 2021 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event champion Josef Gulas Jr entered the field a few minutes ago and can be found one table over from his father. Both are below the starting stack as Gulas Jr just lost a three-bet pot. He opened to 1,200 and Danilo Donnini three-bet to 3,100, which Gulas Jr called.
On the ![]()
![]()
flop, Gulas Jr checked and Donnini bet 5,200 to take it down.

In a pot of more than 70,000 to the ![]()
![]()
![]()
turn, Andreas Brunner faced a bet worth 42,000 by Karim Ghozlani. Brunner tanked for a longer time and then folded the ![]()
for a set face-up.
"Did you have a straight?" Brunner asked after the hand was over. Ghozlani didn't confirm or deny it while raking in the big pot with a smile on the face.
