On a flop of A♥K♠6♥ and 60,000 already in the pot, Tony Horn on the button bet 20,000 and was called by Simon Davidson in the hijack and Stephen Forrester in the cutoff.
A bricky-looking 2♣ on the turn saw Horn turn up the heat by betting 60,000. This was too much for Davidson and Forrester who both folded.
Cristian Enache bet 6,000 from the cutoff and was called by Tadagh Kelly in the big blind.
Enache down-bet to 5,500 on the K♠4♣2♥ board and was called by Kelly.
Both players checked the 5♥ turn, but Enache made a delayed continuation bet of 15,000 on the 3♠ river that created a four-liner. Kelly took most of their allotted time before folding and Enache was awarded the pot.
There were 45,000 in the middle on a 7♣4♣2♥ flop and Mark Hayes bet 16,000 from the button.
Joe Walbridge responded with a shove for 67,500 from the small blind, which put Hayes in a bind. Hayes burnt one of his time-bank cards and had ten seconds left before folding to give Walbridge the pot.
With 33,000 in the middle on a flop of 9♣6♠3♦, Mark Hayes bet 15,000 from the small blind and was called by Daniel Maunders in the hijack.
The Q♦ came on the turn and Hayes used almost all of his shot-clock before putting in a bet of 51,000. Maunders pondered for a moment before letting go of his hand. Hayes revealed K♠K♥ whilst he scooped in the pot.
Level: 3
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 2,000
The day's first two bust-outs have befallen Daniel Maunders and Simon Davidson. However, both have opted to use their one reentry for Day 1a.
If they can't make their new stack work, they will have the opportunity to play Day 1b, which is scheduled to commence at 5 p.m. later today.
Ru Jorge De Sousa bet 3,100 from the cutoff and was called by Joe Smith in the small blind and Robert Kucma in the big blind.
All three checked the J♦6♣5♥ flop which encouraged Smith to bet 6,500 on the 2♥ turn. This got a fold from Kumca and a call by De Sousa.
The 4♥ landed on the river and both players checked. There was frustration in Smith's face as he tabled 8♥7♥ for a flush, while De Sousa flung his cards into the muck.
Level: 2
Blinds: 1,000/1,500
Ante: 1,500
With the turn board reading 6♣4♣3♠J♠, Simon Davidson bet 26,000 from the small blind and was called by Costel Burcea in the cutoff.
The 9♠ completed the backdoor flush on the river and Davidson ramped it up to 40,000. Burcea took twenty seconds before making the call. Davidson tabled 10♠10♥, which could not better Burcea's Q♦J♣ for top pair and a hefty pot.
Stephen Forrester bet 3,000 from the button and was called by Rakesh Attuluri in the small blind and Grigor Yonchev in the big blind.
Forrester continued for 4,000 on the K♥Q♣10♠ flop which got prompt folds from both blinds.
