Vasyl Duravkin opened the button to 6,000 then Grigoli Liklikadze shoved from the small blind for around 55,000. Levon Arakelyan then reshoved out of the big blind for a little more, and Duravkin folded.
Grigoli Liklikadze: A♦9♣ 
Levon Arakelyan: A♠Q♥
The runout of 8♥K♠10♠7♠10♦ brought no help to Liklikadze which meant he was sent to the rail.
Day 1a of the EAPT Main Event attracted a total of 214 entries, which means there are 32 spots on offer in Sunday's Day 2.
With around 64 players remaining at present, it means that half the field needs to be lost before the survivors can bag up.

With 40,000 chips already in the pot on a board of 5♥4♦2♦J♦, Evgenii Kharlov checked it over to Aben Zholgaliyev, who bet 15,000. Kharlov called.
The Q♣ completed the runout and Kharlov checked once again, then faced a bet of 35,000 from Zholgaliyev. Kharlov had taken his time to call on the turn but didn't need much more than a few seconds on the river to act, and he folded.
Andrei Kaigorodtsev raised to 5,000 from early position and got called by Iurii Saiapin, Sergei Kim, Aben Zholgaliyev, and Valeriy Gasparyan.
Five players saw the 7♣K♠4♦ flop where it checked to Kaigorodtsev, who then made a continuation-bet of 12,000. One by one, all of his opponents folded and Kaigorodtsev raked in the pot.

Dmitrii Kan raised the button to 4,500 and Iurii Saiapin three-bet the small blind to 21,000. Once the big blind folded, Kan called.
On the 3♠6♥A♥ flop, Saiapin bet 25,000, and Kan quickly called.
A 4♣ fell on the turn and Saiapin counted out a bet of 50,000 then put it into the pot. Kan moved all in for 71,000 total, and Saiapin called.
Dmitrii Kan: 5♥2♥
Iurii Saiapin: A♦Q♦
Saiapin was drawing dead as Kan turned an unbeatable straight. Kan did improve further on the K♥ river as he made a flush, but it was meaningless as the pot was already his.
