Orpen Kisacikoglu is one of six players who fired a second bullet thus far and was just at risk of elimination. After a raise by Nick Petrangelo from under the gun, he shoved for 46,000 from the button and the action folded back to Petrangelo. The American called and a classic race got underway.

Nick Petrangelo:
The board ran out and Kisacikoglu dodged the two overcards and flush draw to get back to starting stack.
From the cutoff, high stakes cash game regular Henrick Hecklen shoved for 29,000. Sergio Aido, over in the small blind, asked for a count and then called. The big blind folded.
Sergio Aido:
Henrik Hecklen:
Aido, with a pained face, said he miscalculated the shove and thought it was only five big blinds while in fact, it was almost ten.
"It's ok" Hecklen said with a wry smile.
The board favored Aido and Hecklen departed from the €25,000 Single-Day High Roller. Hecklen, who's the chip leader in the Main Event after yesterday's Day 1a, still has the option to buy back in for the next three levels (plus the break).
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and Viacheslav Buldygin entered the competition for the first time while Steffen Sontheimer and Ali Reza Fatehi are on their second bullet. Martin Kabrhel may have to do so as well after running out of chips before the break. Below are some further assorted chip counts.
After a raise to 5,400 by David Peters from under the gun and the call by Yingiu Li on the button, the duo headed to a flop of . Peters bet 9,300 and Li called before the American checked the turn. Li bet 15,500 for half the pot and Peters then check-raised all in.
After spending more than five minutes in the think tank, Li folded face up. Peters had just arrived here in Prague a few hours ago and more than doubled up his stack thus far.
On the heads-up turn of , Jean-Noel Thorel check-raised all in for around 51,000 out of the big blind and initial raiser Adrian Mateos called with king-jack from under the gun. Thorel had for the open-ended straight draw and got there thanks to the river.
Mateos was moved right after as next big blind, taking the vacated seat that formerly belonged to Andrey Shatilov. The latter was part of a double elimination that also included Mustapha Kanit; the chips went to Konstantin Uspenskiy.
Ali Reza Fatehi's start today wasn't too good, and a comeback wasn't in the stars for him either. He just hit the rail after getting it in from the button with against the of big blind Sam Greenwood. The board ran out and Fatehi got up and had to leave the tournament area.
From the hijack, Juha Helppi raised to 5,500. Big blind Davidi Kitai called and the Belgian EPT champion check-called 6,500 on the -flop, 11,200 on the -turn and 21,000 on the -river. Helppi showed and Kitai mucked.
