There's only high rollers in this tournament of course, but Table 1 is a bit different because it consists mostly of online cash game players. It was the table Patrik Antonius was on before he busted, and Isaac Haxton and Dan Cates also called Table 1 home for most of the day.
There's two more online high stakes players active at the table, and they just clashed in a small pot. We picked up the action a flop of as Timofey "Trueteller" Kuznetsov check called a 12,000 from the big blind. It was Mikita "fish2013" Badziakouski doing the betting, and would continue to do so. On the turn Kuznetsov check called 30,000 on the turn, and he check called another 70,000 on the river.
Badziakouski showed for the rivered straight, but he had to chop it with his high stakes colleague as Kuznetsov revealed .
Erik Seidel's comeback would not last long and Dominik Nitsche as well as Tobias Reinkemeier followed shortly after.
Nitsche shoved the cutoff for just 90,000 with and was called by Timothy Adams from one seat over with ace-jack according to Fedor Holz. The German also confirmed what happened to his fellow German Reinkemeier, who shipped with deuces and failed to win the flip against the of Anthony Zinno.
Byron Kaverman raised to 18,000 and Max Silver as well as Murad Akhundov in the small blind called. Christoph Vogelsang then moved all in from the big blind for 146,500 and Kaverman folded. Silver reshoved to isolate successfully and they turned over their cards.

Vogelsang:
The flop fell and the turn spiced up things. Silver pointed towards his queen and joked "no royal flush", but he surely didn't like the river either that gave Vogelsang a flush and left him short.
Nick Petrangelo was already down to his last couple of his chips when he got it in on a flop of holding . Andrew Pantling would be the done doing the dirty work with his . The on the turn and on the river were blanks and Petrangelo made his exit.
Two tables over we saw Hady El Asmar get up and leave as well, though we missed the details of his bust out.
Bryn Kenney raised from under the gun and picked up one caller before Ivan Luca shoved the big blind for 78,500. Only Kenney looked up the Argentinian and Luca was in bad shape with pocket nines against the of Kenney.
The board ran out and Luca was gone. Shortly after, Sergey Lebedev raised to 17,000 and then folded to the shove of Mohsin Charania from one seat over.
The pots are getting bigger and the last one went to Steve O'Dwyer. Gerard Pique had defended his big blind and then let go on the flop. Steve O'Dwyer (small blind) and Mike Watson (button) then checked the turn before O'Dwyer check-called the river for 90,000 and scooped the pot with .
Ramin Hajiyev raised to 17,000 from the hijack and Andrew Pantling made the call from the big blind. Pantling then checked on , and answered Hajiyev's 21,000 continuation bet with a check raise to 44,000. Hajiyev moved all in and Pantling instantly called for his last 133,500.
