Donev Takes from Aidonopoulos
Theodoros Aidonopoulos raised to 6,500 in the cutoff and Ivo Donev three-bet to 21,500 from the small blind. "How much did you start with?" Aidonopoulos asked and eventually called. Both checked the flop and Donev's bet on the turn got the job done.
Jan Bendik's raise to 6,500 was called by Darren Delahunty and Ali Sameeian moved all in to claim the pot uncontested.
| Ivo Donev | 100,000 | 28,000  |
| Ali Sameeian | 95,000 | 14,500 |
| Theodoros Aidonopoulos | 53,000 | -22,000  |
| Darren Delahunty | 35,000 | -9,000 |

Day 2 Kicks Off in Event #1: €1,100 No-Limit Hold'Em MONSTER STACK with 114 Players Returning
There will be 114 players returning to the King's Casino for Day 2 of Event #1: €1,100 No-Limit Hold'Em MONSTER STACK. Sander van Wesemael will be leading the charge after bagging an impressive 323,500 chips on Day 1C. He will be followed closely by Valentin Vornicu (296,500), Sergio Fernandez (267,000), and Jeff Cormier (265,000).
Another player to pay close attention to will be Ryan Hefter (208,000), who won this same event in 2015 in Berlin, the last time WSOP Europe was held. Coming in as the defending champion, Hefter went on a run at the end of Day 1A and bagged a healthy stack as he looks to become a two-time WSOP bracelet winner.
When the cards get in the air, players will have their eye on the money bubble which looms just under 30 eliminations away. A min-cash will be worth €1,592 while everyone will be in search of the first-place prize of €117,708. There were a total of 561 entries throughout the three starting flights, comprising a prizepool of €538,280.
The action will resume at 2:00 P.M. inside the Poker Arena at level 15 with the blinds at 1,500/3,000 and a 500 ante. The blind levels will move to 60-minutes in length with the goal being to end play when the final table is reached.
