Day 1 of Event #11: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em is in the books with several big name players having taken part in many interesting hands. Some 343 players registered for this prestigious tournament and at the end of the day just 137 remained.

The chip leader at the end of the day’s eight played levels was none other than Dan Smith who bagged a whopping 321,100. Other notable large stacks include Simon Deadman (267,600), Darryll Fish (259,000) and Faraz Jaka (224,600).

Many players who started the day with high hopes, had their stacks reduced to nothing over the course of play. Among those eliminated were, Joe Cada, Joe McKeehen, Rainer Kempe and defending 2018 $5K event bracelet champion Jeremy Wien.

One of the notable players to hit the rail was Sam Soverel who ran his pocket queens into the pocket aces of Ali Imsirovic late in the final level of the day.

Imsirovic will join many other well-known players who survived Day 1, such as David Peters, Dietrich Fast, Adrian Mateos and Niall Farrell, whose day got off to a brilliant start when he turned a straight flush that got paid off on the river.

Play will resume at 2:00 p.m. local time on Tuesday June 4th. There will be ten 60-minute levels played. Blinds will resume at 600/1,200 with an ante of 1,200 at Level 9.

All of the notable players coming together as well as the likelihood of even more big names jumping into the fray through late registration that is open until the end of Level 12, will create quite an exciting Day 2 that will be covered in its entirety on PokerNews.

Four Bet Farrell

Jeff McMillan

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Under the gun, Niall Farrell raised to 2,200. He picked up two callers from the hijack and the cutoff. On the button Daniel Smiljkovic three-bet to 11,000.

With the action back on Farrell, he thought for about thirty seconds before putting in a four-bet for 33,000. The hijack and cutoff immediately folded and Smiljkovic also folded pretty quickly to give Farrell a nice chunk of chips.

Ali Imsirovic
Ali Imsirovic

Sam Soverel raised to 2,200 from the hijack and was called by the player in the cutoff. Ali Imsirovic three-bet to 8,800 on the button and Soverel shoved for 52,500. The initial caller folded but Imsirovic snap-called.

Sam Soverel: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Ali Imsirovic: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

The flop came {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{a-Hearts} with the ace in the window to give Imsirovic a set but also provide Soverel with the gutshot to a Broadway.

The turn was the {k-Clubs} to give Imsirovic the full house and leave Soverel drawing dead.

The {10-Diamonds} on the river was just a formality to complete the board as Soverel was sent home just before the end of the day.
