Ilkin Amirov stood up from his chair and the dealer announced a seat open, then the board came to light showing 
. Amirov had defended his big blind against the raise of Zorlucan Er and then shoved the turn with his 
only to see the bad news in the form of 
by Er.
After the hand was over, father Zorlu Er handed his son a Red Bull as extra motivation for the remainder of Day 1a.
The board was 
and [Removed:155] put out an 8,000-bet from the big blind. It was a big bet with 8,600 in the middle and Tibor Nagygyorgy was a non-believer.
He made the call but mucked in frustration when Brand tabled 
for a rivered two pair.
The action was about to start on table 4 when Ben Heath discovered he was in the small blind instead of the big blind. He was under the gun the hand before but apparently the button moved two spots.
Heath told the dealer and Pratyush Buddiga, who was on the button now, confirmed the mistake.
It was ruled a misdeal and everybody gave their cards back to the dealer. Heath took a quick peek at his cards before handing them back and then opened pocket kings. So much for honesty, you could say.
Preflop, Martin Kozlov raised it up to 2,000. Karzan Hamarash was his only customer.
The flop came 
and Hamarash fired out a bet of 3,600. Kozlov shoved all in for 11,100 and Hamarash called.
Martin Kozlov: 
Karzan Hamarash: 
Kozlov was at risk but he was ahead with his aces. Hamarash had a lot of outs and hit one of them with the 
. The river was the and Kozlov left the tournament area.
Pasi Sormunen just enforced a fold from two opponents on the turn of a jack-high board and then raised to 1,800 from the hijack just one hand later. Frederik Jensen three-bet to 5,200 on the button and Sormunen called. On the flop of 
, Sormunen bet 10,000 and Jensen raised to 31,600, leaving just 100 behind. Sormunen pushed and Jensen called.
"Are you good?" Sormunen asked and tabled his 
. Jensen only had the 
, but the turn and 
river completed the board to give Jensen trips and the double.
There was already 35,000 in the middle and the board ran out 
. Vladimir Troyanovskiy slid out a bet of 17,000, only leaving him with 18,000 behind.
Thomas Mjeldheim thought for a short moment, then made the call. Troyanoskiy mucked immediately. Mjeldheim wanted to take the pot without showing but Charlie Carrel convinced him to do so.
"Show the hero call", Carrel said. Mjeldheim tabled 
for just top pair.
Fabrice Soulier raised to 1,700 and Dmitry Yurasov three-bet to 5,200 from one seat over. Soulier shoved and Yurasov folded.
Then, Vlado Banicevic from Montenegro raised to 1,800 and Aleksandar Spadijer, also from Montenegro, called in the big blind. On the 
flop, the action went check, check. After the 
turn, Spadijer bet 1,600 and Banicevic folded.
Banicevic raised to 1,800 the next hand and claimed the blinds and antes. The table also features Connor Drinan, Alexandros Kolonias and Juha Helppi.
One hour left for the day, but some players called it a night early on.
There are only 73 players left.
The last level of the night is rather quiet and one particular player that had been very talkative before is missing. Graydon Kowal's stack had slowly but surely disappeared and he then open-shoved for 25 big blinds with ace-jack suited according to Ole Schemion. Knut Karnapp looked him up with queens and there was no surprise on the board.
