The Day 1d field now sits at 223 entries with late registration open until the end of level 10.

A completed board of 
was spread across the table with around 10,000 chips in the middle. Frederic Delval checked from the small blind and Nazar Buhaiov flicked in a pot-sized bet of 10,000 from the cutoff.
Delval thought for a moment and then check-raised all in. Buhaiov had just around 15,000 chips remaining and went into the tank for at least three minutes. He eventually decided to fold and Delval did him a favor by showing 
for a set of sevens.

Koray Aldemir just sat down in his seat for the first time tonight and wasted little time getting in on the action with a raise to 2,000 from under the gun. Filippo Lazzaretto shoved all in for 6,500 on his left and the action folded back to Aldemir who quickly called.
Filippo Lazzaretto: 
Koray Aldemir: 
They both shared a laugh as Aldemir was pipped by one card heading to the 
flop. "Split?" Aldemir asked as they both picked up a wheel draw.
The reigning WSOP Main Event champion got better than a split as the and 
runout gave him two pair to eliminate Lazzaretto.
