Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel

Martin Kabrhel opened to 45,000 from the hijack and Michael Macchia wasted no time before moving all in for his remaining ~620,000 from the cutoff.
Kabrhel called and covered him by a few hundred thousand.

Michael Macchia: Q♥Q♠All in
Martin Kabrhel: K♠K♦

Kabrhel was ahead, but he was still calling for a "King-King" as the dealer was placing the J♥6♠9♣ flop, 5♦ turn and 2♠ river.

The remaining players bagged up after the hand, and will return for Day 2.

Sean Winter raised to 40,000 in the hijack, and Eelis Parssinen shoved his last 200,000 in from the cutoff. Parssinen took out his phone to film the possible all-in, and Winter did the same in response once he had called.

Eelis Parssinen: 10♠10♦ All in
Sean Winter: A♣10♣

Parssinen's tens remained ahead on the J♥6♣K♦ flop and 5♦ turn, but Winter spiked a straight on the Q♠ river to eliminate Parssinen during the last couple of hands.

"Huh, this filming stuff really works," Winter concluded.

Sam Soverel was already all in for just under 700,000 from under the gun and action was back on Alex Foxen to call from middle position. Foxen moved in a stack to call and tabled his pocket kings. Soverel stood after flipping over his ace-queen offsuit, seeing he was behind.

Sam Soverel: A♣Q♠All in
Alex Foxen: K♠K♦

The 9♠5♠7♦ flop didn't change much, the uneventful 8♥ turn and 10♣ river saw to Soverel's elimination just 15 minutes before the end of Day 1.

Bryn Kenney: 7♦7♥

Hunichen needed to pick up on the runout, but missed on the 10♠2♠4♠K♥Q♠ board, and narrowly missed bagging for day 2.

Lin Doubles Martirosian, Wins It All Back Against Ding

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Artur Martirosian got his 560,000 in preflop from the cutoff against Ren Lin in the hijack, and was at risk.

Artur Martirosian: A♦K♥ All in
Ren Lin: 6♠6♣

"Ace-king no good," Lin stated when he saw the cards, but it became the best hand on the 7♥J♥Q♠A♥9♥ runout to double up Martirosian.

Not much later, Lin opened to 40,000 under the gun. Biao Ding three-bet to 110,000 in the hijack, and Lin called.

The A♠7♠2♠ flop was fanned. Ding continued for 55,000, with Lin check-calling. The 4♦ turn was knuckled by both players, seeing the 9♦ appear on the river.

Lin checked for a third time, eliciting a bet of 220,000 from Ding. Lin had other plans, however, and put his opponent all in for 650,000. Ding had no intention of risking the remainder of his stack and quickly mucked.

Meanwhile, Jesse Lonis had left the field and was replaced by the newest entry, Martin Kabrhel.

Galen Hall opened on the button and Thomas Muehloecker moved all in from the small blind for 475,000. Hall called and the players went to showdown.

Thomas Muehloecker: 7♥7♠All in
Galen Hall: J♣J♠

The 8♠10♠3♠ flop gave Muehloecker some backdoor straight outs, but the 4♣ turn and 8♥ river didn't bring it in, and he hit the rail with just over one level left in the night.

After almost two minutes, Vogelsang pushed his 505,000-chip stack forward to call. Negreanu flipped over 9♣9♠ for a set and eliminated Vogelsang, who had tried to hero-call with 9♥8♥.

Danny Tang: A♥10♦All in
Sam Soverel: A♣Q♣

Sergio Aido was also seen walking away from an adjacent table.

In a single-raised pot to the 8♣2♥J♥ flop, Daniel Rezaei checked from the big blind. Leon Sturm then bet 25,000 in middle position, which Rezaei raised to 90,000. Sturm called, after which the K♣ hit the turn.

Rezaei reverted to a check, prompting Sturm to bet 135,000. Rezei pulled a rare double check-raise by putting Sturm all in for about 500,000, and Sturm called off.

Leon Sturm: A♥K♦ All in
Daniel Rezaei: Q♥9♥

Sturm made trips on the K♥ river, but it was no good as Rezaei had completed his flush. Sturm said his goodbyes as Rezaei crossed the seven-figure mark again.
