There were many notable names who had their high hopes dashed today. Freddy Deeb was first out when his nut straight lost out to Steve O'Dwyer's set when the latter filled up on the river. It wasn't too long before Vanessa Selbst was out in the sun too. Her pocket kings were beaten by the quad sixes of Max Silver, who then went on to beat Terrance Chan heads-up.
Chad Brown, James Mitchell, Anton Makiievskyi, Tommy Vedes, Tobias Reinkemeier and Ryan D'Angelo were all amoungst the 20 players who will have to be happy with the €6,913 they received for winning their first table. D'Angelo will feel the most aggrieved with the amount though as he had O'Dwyer all-in twice as an 80% favourite, but lost both times.
