Day 1a of the WPT Prime Sanremo Championship Event has concluded, with 11 players progressing to Day 2. Updated chip counts and a recap of the day will follow shortly.
Bartosz Wesolek moved all in from the button and Adrian Chua called off for his remaining 50,000 in the big blind.
Adrian Chua: A♠5♦
Bartosz Wesolek: K♦9♦
Chua was ahead, but that didn't last long after the 9♣2♠10♣ flop put Wesolek into the lead with a pair of nines. Unfortunately for Chua, the 5♥ turn and J♣ river did not provide him with the help he needed, and he exited on the bubble.
