Already, 260 players out of 792 entrants qualified on Day 1a. They are led by Toni Kaukua, who's been the chip leader from the beginning to the end and who bagged 346,000 chips. He was the only player to finish Day 1a with more than 300,000 chips, as the second biggest stack, Julio Chia Cabrera, had only 290,000 chips.

Rusu Moves In Early
Niveau 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Cosmin-Aurel Rusu just found himself moving his entire stack in the middle within the first 10 minutes of Day 1b.
Rusu and Nikolaos Angelou Konstas had already built a pot of around 6,000 on a board of 5♦7♠Q♣6♠7♣ when Rusu bet 3,500 from the big blind. Angelou Konstas, under the gun, then raised to 11,500.
Rusu tanked for more than a minute before shoving all in for 21,500. It was then Angelou Konstas' turn to tank for a few minutes until he mucked his hand.
