Vladimir Malyarchuk opened the button to 5,500 and with the small blind calling, and Louis Doherty defending his big blind.
All three players checked the 6♠J♣J♥ flop to see the 4♥ land on the turn. After the small blind player checked, Doherty bet 8,500. Only Malyarchuk called.
The 7♣ river checked through and Doherty took down the pot with A♥5♣ for ace-high.
Mikhail Veselov opened the action with a raise to 5,000 from early position and received three callers.
Four players checked through the 9♣6♣10♦ flop to see the A♦ roll off on the turn. When it checked to Veselov, he bet 8,500 with only Alexandr Lakhov calling from the button.
The 2♦ hit the river and Veselov tossed out a bet of 25,000. Lakhov reluctantly made the call and then mucked after Veselov turned over a flush with 9♦8♦.
Oshri Lahmani bet 10,000 from under the gun on a monotone flop of 10♠9♠3♠. The hijack player called him, but Aytekin Yayla raised to 30,000 from the cutoff. Lahmani three-bet to 80,000, which only Yayla called.
The Q♥ hit the turn and Lahmani bet enough to put Yayla all in. Yayla instantly committed his last 142,000 and the cards were revealed.
Aytekin Yayla: Q♠J♠
Oshri Lahmani: A♠10♣
Yayla had flopped a queen-high flush and just needed to fade another spade to double-up. The river was the 8♣ and Yayla doubled through Lahmani.
Lahmani was seen leaving the table a few moments later and been eliminated from the Main Event.

With around 30,000 in the pot on a flop of 6♦4♥5♣, Ivan Pavlov checked from early position and Aliaksandr Yarosh bet 13,000 from the button. Pavlov called.
Pavlov checked again on the 3♠ turn and Yarosh fired another bet of 31,000. Pavlov thought for a few moments and then made the call.
The river was the 3♥ and both players checked. Pavlov showed Big Slick with A♠K♦, and lost the pot to Yarosh's A♦2♥ for a straight.
Dmitry Gromov came in with a raise from under the gun with the cutoff player calling, and Arsen Grigoryan in the small blind.
Grigoryan checked the 8♠A♦6♠ flop, and Gromov bet 6,000. The cutoff player called, but Grigoryan folded.
The 6♥ turn and J♦ river checked through, and Gromov took down the pot with A♥10♥ for top pair on the flop.
Cards are in the air for Day 1a of the $5,300 Main Event!
