Duczak Defeats Israelashvili
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
The board read 
and there was one player that had bet, Roland Israelashvili had called. Aaron Duczak raised to 11,000, the other player folded but Israelashvili shoved and Duczak called.
Aaron Duczak: 
Roland Israelashvili: 
Israelashvili had hit two pair on the flop, sevens and threes, Duczak had an overpair.
The turn brought them the 
which didn't change the situation but the 
on the river gave Duczak the higher two pair now with kings and jacks eliminating Israelashvili from the tournament unless he decides to use his one reentry now.

Obadia On The Up
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Jose Obadia is sitting at the same table as Rex Clinkscales and was already involved in a hand of about 6,000. The board read 
and Obadia had bet 5,500 from the big blind. His opponent in the cutoff was tanking for quite a while, that long that Clinkscales decided to call the clock on him. The floor came over and gave him 30 seconds to make a decision. After about ten seconds he decided to call.
"Set of kings?" Obadia asked while opening his 
. His opponent mucked his cards while the dealer pushed the pot Obadia's way.

Registration Details
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Jack Effel just announced that even though registration is supposed to be open until the start of Day 2, there is a possibility that he might close registration earlier if the numbers fall a bit short. This to prevent that people register whilst being close to being in the money. He advised that he will probably look at the number just after the dinner break.

Shuffle Up and Deal
The tournament organization has just welcomed the players to today's event, explained what the structure looks like for today and instructed the dealers to shuffle up and deal.
There are currently 42 players registered with more expected to take their seats once the tournament is underway.
Welcome to Day 1 of Event #4: €1,650 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed
Day 1 of Event #4: €1,650 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed is set to start today at 3 p.m. local time. Back in 2015 Makarios Avramidis did a lot of firsts. It was the first ever World Series of Poker bracelet to be awarded on German soil, it was his first ever bracelet and the first one for Greece. First prize was €105,000 but it was a €2,200 buy-in with 197 entries in total.
Avramidis hasn’t been spotted here yet but Paul Michaelis is here. He finished third last time so is expected to be playing today. The two other players who also made deep runs in 2015 and have already been playing here in King’s Casino are 6-times and 4-times bracelet winners, Jeff Lisandro and Max Pescatori. They will be taking their seats today to try and better their previous results.
The battle for Player of the Year is still going, after John Racener’s sixth place finish yesterday in the Turbo Bounty Hunter, he has an even better shot at top spot now. But Chris Ferguson, Ryan Hughes and Alex Foxen are not just going to stand by and watch. They will be fighting furiously too. Other expected notables expected in the field today include Felipe Ramos, Kristen Bicknell, Brandon Cantu, Erik Cajelais, James Akenhead, Maxim Lykov, Ryan Leng and Walter Treccarichi.
This is a three-day event, players entering the event will receive 30,000 in tournament chips. Levels will be 40 minutes long with a 20-minute break after every three levels today. Fourteen levels of play are scheduled for today with registration open through the whole day until Day 2 starts tomorrow at 2 p.m. local time with 1 reentry allowed during that period. A 60-minute dinner break will take place after Level 8 which will be around 9 p.m.
