We're two levels into this day, and we're pausing for a 20-minute break.
In a heads-up pot, we saw Dag Palovic and David Vamplew check through a flop to the turn. Vamplew made a small bet of 500, and Palovic raised it up to 1,100. The call came, and the hit the river. Palovic fired 2,500, and Vamplew tanked for a long while -- maybe two minutes -- before making the call.
Palovic showed down for top pair, and that was good enough to earn the pot.

We're already over 480 players registered for this big Day 1b flight, and we've ticked well over the 600-player mark in total. There were 234 players yesterday.
We picked up the action post-flop, but we'll take a stab at the preflop action. Ari Engel was in the cutoff seat heads-up with Thibaud Guenegou, the small blind. There was 3,425 in the pot already, so it appears that there was a raise from Engel, followed by a three-bet to 1,600 from Guenegou. In any event, we know for sure what happened after that.
Guenegou put out 1,300 on the flop, and Engel flatted to see the on the turn. Guenegou fired another 3,500 and was called, and he slowed down with a check on the river. Engel took his cue to bet 7,000 at the pot, and his opponent quickly surrendered.
