Christian Roberts opened, only to be met by a three-bet jam from Yves Thalmann of 48,000. Lukas Reimann in the next seat cold-called and Roberts folded, with Thalmann at risk.
Yves Thalmann: 10♦10♥
Lukas Reimann: A♠K♦
Thalmann was ahead with a pair of tens and remained so after the 5♣5♦J♦3♣J♣ runout, handing him a timely double up.
Picking the action up on a flop of 7♣9♦7♣ with about 9,000 in the middle, Ramon Bartmettler and Stipe Orec both checked their option.
On the 8♠ turn Bartmettler check-raised to 11,500 versus Orec's bet of 4,000. Orec called.
On the 10♥ river, Bartmettler moved all in for 32,000. Orec went into the tank and took a couple of minutes before folding his hand.

The 42 players remaining in Day 1e of the Main Event have just been sent on a 30-minute dinner break.
