After one level of play, we've had two eliminations so far in the Main Event. Israelian players Shimon Malka and Uri Gilboa both were sent to the rail. They do have the chance to fire another bullet in the Day 1c flight with 20-minute levels on Friday, August 3rd, at 8 p.m. local time.

Franck Huynh limped from early position and Pavlos Xanthopoulos raised to 700 from late position. When the player on the button and both blinds folded their hand Huynh called.
The flop came down 
and Huynh check-called a bet of 700 from his Greek opponent. The 
was added to the board and Huynh check-called another bet. This time the bet was 2,100 and they saw the 
river complete the board.
Huynh checked again, only to see Xanthopoulos bet out 7,500 this time. Huynh took his time to think over his decision but eventually let go of his hand.

With the board already reading 
it was Alexandru Jambor who had 5,950 in front of him. His opponent, Georgios Tavoularis had a whole lot more over the line with the all-in triangle laying next to his chip stack.
Jambor ended up throwing his hand in the muck, sending a pretty big pot early on in the tournament to Tavoularis.

The 11 a.m. start time of the tournament isn't made for everyone. Sander van Wesemael wasn't entirely sure about starting so early with 11 levels being played out today, but after about 1,5 hours of play, he sure is happy he started early.
One of Van Wesemael's recent victories started with him raising to 600 from the hijack and being called by the Lucian Stoian from the cutoff. Markus Heikkila sat on the button and three-bet to 2,100, but neither Van Wesemael or Stoian gave up their hands.
The flop came down 
and all three players checked. They also all checked on the turn card and the 
river card. Van Wesemael was the first one to table his cards as he showed 
for a flopped set of sixes. Stoian and Heikkila both mucked their cards and Van Wesemael won another pot to lift him well over 60,000 already.

Plenty of Dutch poker players made the journey to Bucharest to play in the Unibet Open Main Event and of them just took his seat. Teun Kooij immediately took down a pot.
Kooij saw Bogdan Simion raise from the hijack to 525 and decided to make it 1,500 himself. Simion called and the dealer put down a 
flop. Simion checked to Kooij who fired out another bet of 1,500 and that was enough to take down the pot after Simion folded.

Kasper Klitgaard Henriksen raised to 800 from the hijack. He announced 800 before he put two 1,000 chips in the middle and there was a bit of confusion. Since Henriksen announced 800 that was the bet size that the other players had to call. The player in the small blind called, as did Eduard Norel from the big blind.
The flop came down 
and Henriksen bet another 800 when it checked to him. Norel called after the player in the small blind folded. Norel chose to lead out with a bet of 1,500 on the 
turn and Henriksen called to see the 
river complete the board.
Both players checked and when Norel showed 
it was Henriksen who flashed 
before mucking them.

Dehlia de Jong has quite the results if you look at the ladies events she has played in the past. Last year she finished runner-up in the ladies event here in Bucharest at the Unibet Open behind Carmen Zainescu and earlier this year she got second in Malta behind Ann-Roos Callens.
De Jong already had Callens on her direct right to relive her second-place finish, but now Zainescu joined the table on Callens' direct right. Daiva Byrne is also seated at the same table so the ladies have a nice warm-up tournament before their #QUEENRULES event tomorrow.
