Match 1: Ayaz Mahmood Wins First Match, Takes 1-0 Lead

Hard luck for Ernst Schmejkal at the end, and he goes down 1-0 in the final
Hard luck for Ernst Schmejkal at the end, and he goes down 1-0 in the final

Down to just 130,000 -- less than a big blind -- Ernst Schmejkal was all in with {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} against Ayaz Mahmood's {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}. The board came {7-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and Schmejkal was back to 260,000.

All in again the next hand, Schmejkal had {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} this time, and Mahmood {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. The community cards were dealt -- {J-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{K-Spades}{A-Spades} -- and after six-and-a-half hours, the first match of the best-of-three final has finally finished.
