With more than 35,000 in the middle and the flop reading 
, David Peters checked in late position and Ali Reza Fatehi from one seat over bet 15,000 in the hijack. Peters called and the 
appeared on the turn.
Peters moved all in, Fatehi asked for a count, and then folded when it was deemed to be 52,400.
Igor Yaroshevskyy raised to 4,500 and picked up two callers behind him in the blinds with Adrian Mateos and Rajkumar Ramakrishnan in the big blind. The flop came 
and the trio checked. On the 
turn, Mateos bet 8,000 and that forced two folds.
Under the gun Sergio Aido raised to 4,800 and he got called in three spots; Paul Newey in the cutoff, Anton Astapau on the button and Davidi Kitai in the big blind.
The flop came 
and Kitai checked. Aido fired 8,000 and just Newey made the call.
Newey called Aido's 18,000 bet on the 
turn as well and the two saw the 
completing the board. Aido now checked, and folded to Newey's 40,300 shove.
The tournament clock mentions a cap of 160 players, but according to the floor they will try to accommodate all players. The 160 cap on the screen comes from synchronisation with the back-end system that mentions a 160 cap for the app. There are 106 entries so far.
The tournament is well on track to beat the numbers of last year, as already more than 100 players have taken their seats and the registration remains open until the end of level eight and it's following break. Some new faces in the field can be found below.
Among the early big pots was a double up for Fedor Holz, but the chips are flying on almost every table to create plenty of frantic action.
Holz raised from the cutoff and then called a three-bet to 15,500 by Vladimir Troyanovskiy out of the small blind to see a flop of 
. Troyanovskiy bet 15,000 and Holz called before doing so again on the turn for 30,000.
On the 
river, Troyanovskiy checked and Holz shoved for 28,200. Troyanovskiy called, Holz showed 
and the Russian just nodded and mucked his

The tournament staff can barely open enough new tables in time to accommodate the growing field. Among those to enter very recently were also Shaun Deeb, Sergey Lebedev, 2016 November Niner Vojtech Ruzicka and Mustapha Kanit.

While Byron Kaverman has more than double stack, Nick Petrangelo busted to his right and immediately reentered the competition.
Then, Kaverman was in the small blind and bet the 
flop for 5,600. Initial raiser Chance Kornuth called from early position and both checked the turn. On the 
river, Kaverman bet 12,000 and Kornuth called after some consideration with the

On a board of 
we saw Yang Wang (middle position) with a bet of 23,000 in front of him. His neighbor, Alexandros Kolonias, shoved for 52,800 and Wang had the decision. He tanked for a bit before he eventually added the needed chips to go to showdown.
Kolonias showed for a backdoor flush. Wang mucked but Ivan Luca asked the dealer to show the cards as it had been an all-in and call situation. The dealer obliged and rolled over Wang's .
