On the 
turn, Neel Murthy in the small blind opted to check and then called a bet worth 3,500 by Alexander Flehmann from under the gun. Murthy checked again the 
on the river and Flehmann now bet 5,000.
Murthy snap-called and won the pot without showing his cards, as Flehmann surrendered and mucked.
Picking up the action on the 
turn, Mike Neuens opted to check and Winston Margaret bet 3,500 to earn a call. Neuens also checked the 
on the river and Margeret checked back to get shown the 
for aces, which won the pot for Neuens.
Stylianos Karadaglis raised in the cutoff and called a three-bet by Bedrettin Kozay on the button, which led them to the 
flop. Karadaglis checked and called a bet worth 2,600 by Kozay. The 
turn was quickly checked through and Karadaglis bet the river for 3,500.
Kozay double-checked his cards and then tapped the table in defeat before sending the cards into the muck.
It took all but 17 minutes for the first player to bust and that was High Roller participant Salih Atac. His chips now belong to Andrea Radicchi, who was involved in the action on Day 1a but failed to bag up chips.
The field size has increased to 161 entries of which 160 players remain.
On a three-way turn of 
, Winston Margaret checked his option and Jan Gallistl bet 2,600 and earned one fold. Margaret called and checked again the 
on the river. Gallistl bet 6,000 to receive a call once more and flipped over the 
for queens and treys as the winning hand.

After a very successful first flight of the 2021 WSOP International Circuit €1,700 Main Event, the King's Resort is preparing for another busy day in Europe's biggest poker arena. It is the penultimate chance for players from near and far to take a shot at the €1 million guarantee, which is very likely to be surpassed today already.
A total of nine levels of 60 minutes are scheduled for the flagship tournament, which gives players a starting stack of 50,000. The late registration will be open all day long and during that period, all participants can purchase two re-entries if needed. However, the late registration remains possible for the first two levels on Day 2 as well to give late arrivals a shot at the poker action.
Day 1a saw a field of 354 entries emerge of which 125 players advanced. The currently biggest stack belongs to Andrzej Jedryczka, who topped last night's proceedings with 368,000. Whether or not anyone will be able to top that on Day 1b remains to be seen.
Tournament staff expects an even bigger field for the second flight and the ongoing satellite is a good indication for that, as it awards 20 seats. Day 1b will get underway at 2pm local time and wraps up just after midnight. There will be a 15-minute break every two levels and a 30-minute dinner break upon completion of level four.
