Niveau 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Najeem Ajez opened from early position and received calls from Daniel Aharoni in middle position and David Benyamine in the cutoff before Dylan Smith raised to 50,000 from the small blind. Ajez moved all in for around 100,000, Aharoni and Benyamine folded and Smith made the call with a covering stack to put Ajez at risk.

Najeem Ajez: A♣9♦9♠2♣ All in
Dylan Smith: A♦K♠6♦4♦

The board ran out Q♥J♠K♣7♥7♣. Smith's pair of kings were good at showdown and he took the pot while Ajez made his exit from the tournament area.

Connor Drinan: A♠Q♦J♠8♥ All in
Dirk Gerritse: 10♥9♠8♦3♦

The Q♣ turn improved Drinan to two pair but the 2♦ river gave Gerritse a flush for the knockout.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Scott Seiver defended the big blind and then check-called a bet by Joao Simao on the K♣J♥2♣ flop to see the 2♥ on the turn. Seiver checked again and Simao in the cutoff bet 50,000 before the check-shove for 254,000 followed.

Simao used three time bank extensions before making the call.

Scott Seiver: A♥10♥6♥2♦ All in
Joao Simao: K♥J♠7♠5♥

The 8♠ river changed nothing anymore as Seiver doubled. In the meanwhile, Eric Wasserson had dropped by to share the news that his aces were cracked by a Badugi hand. A short-stacked Arthur Morris departed shortly after from the same table, too.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Nacho Barbero had raised to 35,000 preflop from the cutoff and was called by Santhosh Suvarna on the button and Ben Lamb in the big blind. The flop then fell 5♥10♦9♠ and Lamb checked.

Barbero made a bet of 55,000, which Suvarna raised to 300,000. Lamb then shoved all in, covering both of his opponents.

Barbero spent a few minutes in the tank before calling for roughly 540,000 chips, as did Suvarna for his stack of 433,000, leading to a three-way showdown.

Santhosh Suvarna: K♣10♣9♥8♦ All in
Nacho Barbero: A♦Q♥J♥J♦ All in
Ben Lamb: Q♦J♣10♠5♣

The 7♦ turn gave Barbero the nut flush draw in addition to his open-ender, but the A♣ bricked out for everyone.

Suvarna won the main pot with two pair, tens and nines, and Lamb won the small side pot with two pair, tens and fives.

Barbero got no part of any pot and headed out the tournament area with 15 minutes left on Day 1.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A large four-way pot was looming over on table 143 and the flop of K♥6♦3♠ saw Sam Soverel as well as Eric Kurtzman check. Jason Mercier in the cutoff then moved all-in for 317,000 and Evan Krentzman called all-in for 127,000. Sam Soverel called as well with a shorter stack and Kurtzman folded.

Sam Soverel: A♣8♣7♠6♠ All in
Evan Krentzman: A♥K♦10♦5♥ All in
Jason Mercier: K♣Q♥J♣3♥

Mercier was ahead with the top and bottom pair, which remained to be the case with the 5♣ turn. He asked for a queen and received the Q♦ river to scoop an enormous pot.

Krentzman re-entered shortly after while Soverel can still jump back in tonight or in the first level of Day 2.
