Action folded around to the blinds, where Ren Lin raised to 1,800 from the small blind and Amit Ben Yacov called from the big blind.

Yacov called a 4,200 bet from Lin on the 3♣Q♥K♣ flop and then Lin bet pot for 12,300 on the A♥ turn.

Yacov raised to 40,000 and Lin said, "Cooler," as he placed his bet on top of Yacov's stack and folded.

Level 1 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

The action was caught after a preflop-raising war saw the pot grow to 49,100, with two players heading to a flop of J♥2♥K♠.

Both Viktor Blom, in the big blind, and Patrik Jaros, in the cutoff, checked the hand through to reveal the 3♠ turn and the 3♥ river. Blom fired a pot-sized bet of 49,100 and Jaros made a curious call.

"Flush" announced Blom as he tabled 10♦8♥7♦5♥. Jaros mucked the 3♣ face up.

Level 1 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With over 40,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 9♦6♠2♠, both Daniel Hachem and Filip Lovric had got all of their chips into the middle which created a 600-big-blind pot just minutes into the day.

Daniel Hachem: J♣10♣8♠7♣ All in
Filip Lovric: A♠K♠Q♦10♦

Hachem had the full wrap and had pair outs up against the nut flush draw of Lovric, who was currently in the lead.

The 2♣ turn changed nothing, and the 3♦ was also a brick which meant the pot went Lovric's way with just ace-high.

With two players seeing a board of K♦K♣2♦ and about 3,500 in the middle, Isaac Haxton checked in the small blind and Lautaro Guerra bet 1,000 from the big blind. Haxton check-raised to 2,800 and Guerra made the call.

Haxton bet 6,500 on the 7♣ turn and was called by Guerra.

On the A♥ river both players checked. Haxton tabled 10♥8♥4♦4♥ while Guerra turned over a higher two pair with Q♥9♦9♣7♥ to take the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Patrik Jaros limped in from the cutoff, as did the button and small blind. Viktor Blom checked his option in the big blind.

The 8♥8♠2♥ saw the action checked to Blom, who bet out 1,000. Only Jaros called.

The 5♦ turn saw Blom fire again, this time for 4,000. Jaros didn't back down.

The 5♣ river slowed down Blom as he checked and then folded to a bet of 4,000, from Jaros.
