Stavrakis Grabs Lead as Murphy Fires Huge
Level 7
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Edouardos Stavrakis and Moya Murphy were heads up on a board of J♣K♥10♦7♥, with a gigantic amount of 45,000 chips already in the middle. Stavrakis checked out of the small blind and called the subsequent 21,000-chip bet of Murphy.
On the 2♥ river, Murphy sized up to 30,000 chips. Stavrakis instantly called and Murphy mucked her cards, signaling that she had been caught bluffing. Stavrakis took in the huge pot and ended up with over 300 big blinds in his stack, leading the field.

Stok Sticks Around
Level 7
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Sven Stok open-jammed for 9,200 from the button and was called by Richard Weeks in the small blind.
Sven Stok: K♣9♣ 
Richard Weeks: 8♠8♦
Stok flopped more outs on 3♣5♣2♥, but the J♥ turn was of no help. However, the K♠ river gave him the best hand and he doubled up to over 30 big blinds.

Day 1a Bigger and Better
Level 7
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
With 326 entries on the clock, Day 1a has already surpassed the number of last year's Day 1a, when 324 entries were made.
Late registration is still open for four more levels, so this number is only expected to grow larger and larger.
Kyte Calls It Off
Level 7
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Niall McAree in middle position and Jon Kyte in the hijack had gathered 9,500 chips preflop when both players knuckled the Q♣5♠7♦ flop. McAree then made a bet of 5,500 on the subsequent Q♦ turn, which Kyte called.
The 7♥ turn completed the board and McAree quickly moved all in, covering the 14,000 chips Kyte had left. Kyte tossed in a call, but tried to muck his cards when McAree showed Q♠J♣ for a full house.
The dealer turned over Kyte's A♥8♥ to confirm his elimination, and he quickly left the tournament area.

O'Flynn Keeps Building
Level 8
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Ian O'Flynn checked from under the gun to Grzegorz Kozieja in the hijack. With 9,200 chips in the pot, Kozieja made a bet of 6,100 on the flop of Q♣Q♦3♥. O'Flynn put in a call before the A♥ turn rolled off.
Kozieja opted to downsize to 2,300 after another check from O'Flynn, leaving himself 8,000 chips back. O'Flynn then put the Polish player all in, and a swift fold followed, seeing the pot shipped O'Flynn's way.
