Quick Start for Gutierrez

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Elias Gutiérrez

Kamel Marzouk opened to 1,000 in middle position and Elias Gutierrez called in the hijack. Denis Charlier also came along on the button, with the dealer turning over the 9108 flop.

All three players checked to the 4 turn, where Marzouk tapped the table again. Gutierrez fired 1,000 and was quickly raised to 2,200 by Charlier. Marzouk folded, while Gutierrez made the call.

The 10 river brought a check from Gutierrez, with Charlier opting to check back. Gutierrez tabled K10 for trip tens, good enough to take down the pot as Charlier mucked.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Fiodor Martino

Action was picked up on a completed board of J3Q98 and cards on their backs with the all in triangle in play.

Taran Parmar had moved in with 77, but came up second best against the AA of Fiodor Martino. As the chips were counted, Parmar was left with just 900 behind, which went into the middle on the very next hand.

Martino was the opponent again, as his KJ took out Parmar's K3 for the first elimination of the day.

Players will begin with 30,000 chips, with blinds of 100/200 and a 200 big blind ante. Late registration remains open until the end of Level 10, which marks the start of a scheduled 75-minute dinner break. The tournament features unlimited reentries, and play will continue until only 15% of the field remain to bag for Day 2.
