Yakimov Gets Shorter
Level 13
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Rafael Dahan and Plamen Yakimov were involved in a bigger pot and the former check-raised a second barrel of Yakimov on the 
turn. Yakimov had bet 19,000 only for Dahan to raise to 44,000. That ended up winning the pot without any further resistance, as Yakimov sent his cards into the muck.

Kovalenko and Oghabian Depart
Level 13
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Pavel Kovalenko and Jan Gompers got their near identical stacks in preflop with the former at 37,000 and the latter holding 39,000.
Pavel Kovalenko: 
Jan Gompers: 
The board came 
and Kovalenko departed without anything to show for.
Martin Kabrhel open-shoved out of the small blind into short stack Milad Oghabian in the big blind, and the Dutchman called.
Milad Oghabian: 
Martin Kabrhel: 
The 
flop gave Kabrhel top pair and the straight draw, and he held onto the lead thanks to the 
turn and river.

Payout Information for Day 1D
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A total of 164 entries on Day 1D created a prize pool of €78,679 and the vast majority of that will be moved to Day 2. However, the separate Day 1D prize pool will pay the top 25 spots. The action will conclude at the end of level 18 or when 10 players remain, whichever of the two comes first.
All those that bust in the money today or surrender their stacks upon bagging and tagging will take home the below cash prizes and can try again to run up a stack in the remaining four flights.

Sonnenholzner Doesn't Surrender
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel and Korbinian Sonnenholzner invested 7,500 each to see the 
flop and both players checked. On the 
turn, Kabrhel bet 6,600 with a self-proclaimed rainbow bet (one chip of each color). Sonnenholzner was having none of it and raised it up to 17,000.
Kabrhel started some table chat once more and folded with the word "surrender", then asked to see a card of his opponent.
"You have to call to see, that's how we play here," an unimpressed Sonnenholzner said while collecting the pot.
