Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Samuli Sipila and Artur Martirosian got it all in on the flop of 6♥K♠3♦ with Sipila being the one at risk.

Samuli Sipila: Q♠J♠3♠3♣ All in
Artur Martirosian: K♥Q♥9♣2♣

Sipila was in the lead with a set of treys, but the board ran out K♦, 9♥ with Martirosian hitting runner-runner for a full house, kings full of nines.

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Three-way to a turn of 8♣J♥5♣10♥, Sean Rafael made a pot-sized bet of 135,000 from the small blind. Nick Schulman called in the cutoff before Shaun Deeb folded on the button.

The 10♦ river slowed Rafael down, as he checked over to Schulman. Schulman then moved all in for 275,000, causing Rafael to make a frustrated fold after spending some time banks.

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Under the gun, Daniel Negreanu committed his final 155,000 on a flop of 2♣J♦K♠, and was at risk against Ka Kwan Lau on the button.

Daniel Negreanu: Q♥10♠9♣6♣ All in
Ka Kwan Lau: A♣Q♣10♣3♦

Lau's ace-high remained best on the J♠2♦ runout.

"Stupid game," Negreanu laughed as he said goodbye to the table and took his third exit of the night.

Moncek Building a Stack

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action went five-ways to the river in a limped pot with the board reading 6♣8♥6♥3♠10♦.

With 72,000 in the middle, it checked around to Eric Wasserson in the hijack who bet 70,000.

Michael Moncek made the call on the button and everyone else folded.

Wasserson announced that he had a ten before Moncek tabled A♥J♦9♥7♣ for a straight.

"That'll do it," said Wasserson as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ronald Keijzer limped in the cutoff. Chance Kornuth made it 48,000 in the big blind, and Keijzer called. Keijzer's remaining 135,000 or so chips flew in on the 8♥5♣10♦ flop, and both players revealed their cards.

Ronald Keijzer: J♣10♠9♥7♥ All in
Chance Kornuth: A♠A♣9♦6♥

Keijzer did not improve on the 4♣ turn or 3♦ river, and Kornuth's aces held to eliminate the Dutchman during the conclusion of Day 1.
