Thorsten Schafer, fresh off his win of the €10,000 event in San Remo last month, has made a good start to his Day 1. The EPT regular has added a few thousand to his 30k starting stack, most recently calling a preflop raise to 425 on the button, then betting the threeway {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop when it checked to him. One player called the 700 to see the {6-Spades} turn, which both players checked. The {4-Diamonds} double-pairing river saw a check-call of Schafer's 1,100 bet, but his opponent threw his hand (flashing the {A-Clubs}) when Schafer showed {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.
