Frank Visser

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Chris Brewer's last chips were already in the middle and he was called in two spots. Niklas Astedt then made a bet on the 3♠2♠8♥2♣ board to force the other player out of the pot and a showdown was had.

Chris Brewer: A♥3♦
Niklas Astedt: 7♠7♣

The 8♠ river upgraded both players' hands, but Astedt's two pair remained superior, seding Brewer to the exit in the final level of Day 1.

Eelis Parssinen opened to 40,000 from early position and Stephen Chidwick was the only caller to the 8♠9♠8♦ flop.

Chidwick led out for 35,000 and was called to the A♣ turn, where both players checked.

The action repeated on the 10♣ river and both hands were revealed. Chidwich showed 5♥5♦ while Parssinen held 5♠5♣, with the dealer splitting the pot and sliding half in each player's direction.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Giuliano Bendinelli checked from the small blind on a board of 7♣J♣7♠6♥. Michael Rocco was the only other player involved in the pot and put out a 225,000 chip bet in the pot of 335,000. Bendinelli made the call before the 8♥ river rolled off.

Another check followed from Bendinelli and Rocco swiftly moved all in, covering Bendinelli's stack of 700,000 chips. Bendinelli spent a while in the tank until the clock was eventually called. His countdown ended before he took any action, and thus his hand was declared dead, shipping the big pot Rocco's way.

Michael Rocco	2,460,000 2,110,000	2,110,000

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With a flop showing 6♦2♦K♣, Cedric Schwaederle fired 70,000 from early position and Nacho Barbero called in the cutoff. James Chen then check-raised from the small blind to 230,000 and found calls from both opponents.

Chen led out moving all in on the Q♣ turn, with Schwaederle calling and Barbero getting out of the way.

Cedric Schwaederle: 6♣6♥
James Chen: K♥Q♠

Chen found two pair but was trailing Schwaederle's set of sixes. The 6♠ river saw Schwaederle improve to quads, earning a massive pot late in Level 13.

Cedric Schwaederle	1,750,000 900,000	900,000

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel was the most recent addition to the field when he got involved in a heads up pot with chipleader Daniel Dvoress. On a flop of 6♠8♦7♠, with around 135,000 in the middle, Kabrhel checked to Dvoress, who made a bet of 35,000. Kabrhel called and both players checked through the subsequent 7♦ turn.

The A♣ river was also knuckled by both players, and Kabrhel showed his slow-played A♠A♦ for top full house. Dvoress nodded in acknowledgment while some laughter emerged from the rest of the table.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Dvoress	2,175,000 775,000	775,000

Action was heads up between Sirzat Hissou and Patrik Jaros on a board showing 3♣10♦5♣6♦. Hissou was at risk with his stack in the middle as the cards were revealed.

Sirzat Hissou: J♠J♣
Patrik Jaros: Q♣6♣

Hissou's pocket jacks were in front, looking to dodge a club, queen or six. The 5♠ river was safe, cementing his double through Jaros.

Hyunsup Kim open-raised from the cutoff and Jerry Odeen put in a three-bet from the button. The action folded back to Kim, who four-bet jammed for 915,000. Odeen immediately called with the covering stack and the players showed down.

Hyunsup Kim: A♦Q♦
Jerry Odeen: J♠J♥

Odeen won the flip when the board remained clean for his jack with 7♣4♣6♣5♦10♠. He soared to two million in chips while Kim headed for the exit for the second time tonight.
