Heads-up to the A♦5♥J♣ flop with about 70,000 already in the pot. Weiran Pu was first to act from the big blind and checked the action over to Thomas Ellenbroek on the button, who bet 15,000. Pu called.
A 2♥ hit the turn, prompting a second check from Pu. Ellenbroek bet 40,000, and after a few moments, Pu check-jammed, covering Ellenbroek. Ellenbroek called for his stack of 101,000 and the cards were shown.
Thomas Ellenbroek: A♠Q♣ 
Weiran Pu: J♥8♥
Ellenbroek took the lead by pairing his ace on the turn, although Pu had a lot of outs with one card to come.
The dealer burned a card then put out the 2♦ on the river, which was safe for Ellenbroek and he doubled up.
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Lulei Hu opened it up to 16,000 in the hijack and Gerald Karlic defended from the big blind.
Karlic started with a check on the A♣9♣5♠ flop, and Hu continued with a bet of 15,000. Karlic check-raised to 60,000, which Hu called.
Two checks followed the 8♥ turn to see the 9♥ arrive on the river. Karlic meticulously gathered up 225,000 chips and placed them across the betting line. Hu instantly called.
Karlic showed trips with 10♠9♦ to win the pot as Hu mucked.
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On one of the first hands of the day, Mateusz Kaniowski and Frédéric Delval got all in preflop after some back-and-forth raising, and it was Kaniowski at risk.
Mateusz Kaniowski: K♦K♥
Frédéric Delval: A♦A♠
It was the start Delval had been dreaming of as he was on the right side of the cooler with aces versus kings. However, for Kaniowski, it was a nightmare.
Delval's bullets faced no sweat on the 7♠9♥7♣9♠4♣ runout, and all of Kaniowski's chips headed over to Delval.

The CHF1,500 Main Event at the 2026 WSOP Circuit Liechtenstein moves into Day 2 today inside the Grand Casino Liechtenstein, with the remaining hopefuls now in the money as they continue their quest for a the biggest first-place prize of the festival, and the coveted WSOPC ring.
A total of 127 players successfully bagged up chips across the five opening flights. However, Paul-Adrian Covaciu and Alain Ferrari each qualified twice and will therefore take a min-cash for their smaller stacks, returning today with only their largest stacks. As a result, 125 players will be seated when cards get in the air.
Leading the field is Lulei Hu, who brings 1,162,000 into the day, good for 145 big blinds when play resumes. Germany’s Semih Retzep sits close behind with 1,110,000, while Romania’s Mihai Andrei-Munteanu rounds out the top three with 875,000.
