Event #6: €1,620 Six-Handed Pot-Limit Omaha
Day 1 Completed
339 players were reduced to 36 players in the blink of an eye - the beauty of six-handed PLO!
Jack Ellwood and Chad Brown were the early front runners, but then Roberto Romanello took over at the top and maintained the lead for most of the day. Then the man on fire, Nicolas Fierro, burned his way to the top and when he was moved to the Welshmans table he overtook him as the man to catch.
The end of eight levels approached at the same time as the money bubble and the unfortunate bubble boy was Sean LeFort. The action ceased immediately and everyone was sent home, guaranteed a min-cash, and told to return at 15.00 (CET) for Day Two.
On a 
flop the money went in between Sean LeFort and Rifat Palevic and we got to see the following showdown.
| Sean LeFort |     |
| Rifat Palevic |     |
The turn was the 
and the river the 
ending the bubble play.
On a flop of 
Matt Stout (BB) and Anthony Lellouche (Button) were in the hand. Stout bet 5,600, lellouche raised to 11,800, Stout moved all-in and Lellouche called. The man at risk was Lellouche.
Showdown
| Lellouche |   |
| Stout |   |
Turn: 
& River:
Double up for Lellouche.
Alexander Kostritsyn raised to 1,800, Juha Vilkki bet pot, Kostritsyn moved all-in and Vilkki called all in the blink of an eye. We had a showdown, and not only was Kostritsyn at risk of elimination but Vilkki would be established as the Day One chip leader should he win the hand.
Showdown
| Kostritsyn |  |
| Vilkki |    |
Board: 
Kostritsyn doubles up.
Level 8

The fourth hand of hand for hand play just started. We could be here for a while!
Level 8

For just 1,800 chips Alexander Dovzhenko was just all-in again Jon Spinks.
| Jon Spinks |   |
| Alexander Dovzhenko |  |
The board came down 
and the Russian doubled but is still one of the shortest stacks.
Level 8
: 300/600, 0 ante
With just a couple of minutes left in the day we're on the money bubble!
These are the big stacks while we close in on the end of the first day of this crazy tournament!
