Stephen Woodhead opened to 2,500 from early position and was called by Cihan Bicik in the small blind before Ramon Colillas folded from the big blind.
Action checked through on the flop to the turn. Bicik check-called a bet of 3,000 but folded on the river after Woodhead jammed.

In the latest PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway chats with Eugene Katchalov, Ukraine's all-time money leader, about his harrowing escape from Kyiv as Russia invaded. The World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner and World Poker Tour (WPT) champ documented his experience in real-time via Twitter, which gave his followers a glimpse into civilian life during war.
"Feels surreal, like being inside of a war movie. Don’t know anyone who expected it to get this bad," Katchalov tweeted.
He also informed his Twitter followers that he found a few hotel rooms in a local village and "will likely spend at least a few days" there. Later in the day, he decided to change up his plans and head toward the border, which he crossed after being stuck in "massive traffic and hoping there will be gas to fill up along the way."
Katchalov spoke to PokerNews about what he and his wife experienced, as well as what they're doing now to help family, friends, and other refugees looking to get out of Ukraine.
Katchalov, who retired from poker in 2018 to switch to E-Sports, is Ukraine's all-time winningest tournament player with $9.2 million in cashes while Yevgeniy Timoshenko is in second place with just over $7.8 million.
While this is a poker podcast, the topic discussed is much bigger than the game.
There have been a massive 3155 entries across four starting flights and the prize kitty has ballooned to €3,028,800.
Late registration has now closed with Day 1d having 654 total entries. 378 remain and the day will close when 15% of the field remains (around 98 players).
