At the same time, Ruslan Volkov bagged a massive chip lead on Day 1c (332,000), as he was one of the two players who survived out of a small field of 10 players. Benjamin Svetina also made it to the money on this Turbo flight, ending the day with 68,000 chips.
The last two opportunities to join them on Day 2 are Day 1d and Day 1e Turbo today. The first one, Day 1d, starts at 2:00 p.m. local time with 40,000 chip-starting stacks and 40-minute levels starting on blinds of 100/200 and a 200 big blind ante. Then Day 1e Turbo kicks off at 8:00 p.m. with levels reduced to 20 minutes. Only one reentry per flight is allowed during the nine levels of late registration, and both days will end when 15% of the field remains.

Cards are in the air on Day 1d of the EAPT Bratislava Main Event.
Three-way on a board of 8♦2♦Q♣, Vasileios Dadakos under the gun bet 2,500. Avraham Sisso on the button folded, but Oleksandr Kramarenko in the big blind raised to 8,500. Dadakos made the call.
On the turn 9♦, Kramarenko led out for 13,000. Dadakos then raised all-in, and Kramarenko snap-called, being the player at risk for 28,500.
Oleksandr Kramarenko: Q♠Q♦
Vasileios Dadakos: 9♠9♥
Dadakos hit a set on the turn, but Kramarenko already flopped top set. He even found a flush on the river 3♦ to double up, while Dadakos only had 1,000 chips left. He was eliminated moments later.

At 2019 EPT Sochi winner Uri Gilboa's table, cards went on their backs with Zoltan Vrancsik in the cutoff with approximately the starting stack against Shai Netiv in the big blind.
Zoltan Vrancsik: A♠K♦
Shai Netiv: J♥J♦
On a board of 9♠8♥10♠4♦2♣, Netiv seemed more than happy to win the flip. As Vrancsik was slightly covered, he was eliminated.

Lior Sahar in early position limped, and so did Maria Angelaki in the cutoff. Stefanos Giannakopoulos raised to 800 from the button, and he was called by Ion Dragu in the big blind, and by Sahar and Angelaki.
On a flop of 10♠Q♠2♥, everybody checked to Giannakopoulos, who continued for 1,600. Sahar was the only one to call, and he check-called again when Giannakopoulos fired a second barrel of 2,200 on the turn 8♠.
The 3♠ landed on the river, and Giannakopoulos bet 4,100. Sahar check-called, but mucked his cards when Giannakopoulos flipped over K♠Q♦ for top pair.

David Longmate raised to 800 from the hijack, and was called by Boris Progner on the button and by Vitaliy Kryza in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 4♣10♥2♠, which was checked by both Krupa and Longmate. Progner took this opportunity to bet 800. Only Longmate called.
After Longmate checked on the turn 6♠, Progner asked for 2,100 and Longmate snap-called. But the river 7♣ brought no more action, as both players checked.
Progner revealed 5♥4♥ for a pair, and won the pot as Longmate mucked his cards.
