Entries 130/left 13
We had to wait until the evening flight to pass the 100-entry mark, and expectations were amply rewarded with 130 entries on Day 1 E.
Twenty of them managed to cash in the €700 minimum prize, after the Israeli 🇮🇱 "Mr Funny" had to surrender to Lady Luck losing a coinflip with 9-9 against A-Q: a Queen on the flop and chances hanging by a thread with two Nines still available and a gutshot which unsuccessfully boosted his hopes of survival.
At the close of the envelopes, there will be 13 players rejoicing at having secured a pass for Sunday's Day 2, starting at 2 p.m. CET.
Caterpillar Hediel
We glimpse a stack of 20 green chips, those of 25,000, amidst several others of 5,000 just before the bubble burst. Not even time to get close to the German 🇩🇪 ROBERT SAFFRAN when the green stacks become two, due to a nice big pot won with Q-Q against his opponent who, on a 3-bet pot, goes straight all-in with A-Q on K-x-x.
Robert Saffran, second place at Day1 E
His stack is already well over a million, and probably already was before the last hand he won. This is why we ask the man himself whether we had missed any epic pots:
"No, absolutely not, it was a slow and steady climb. Yes, in this pot I won about 290K, but in general, there were no striking hands..." - says the provisional chip leader, rather pleased with today's performance (and run). He will close in second place though...
At the next table another German "I'm not German, I'm Bavarian!" - proudly specifies FRANZ HEINZ OBERMEYER - takes flight hitting a (second) magic King with K-Q vs A-A on K-x-x. He will finish fourth in the count with 802,000 chips.

However, the one who went under the radar was the one who, at the closure of the envelopes, managed to finish at the head of the crew, guaranteeing himself second place in the overall count.
We're talking about another German, 🇩🇪 OLIVER PAUL HEIDEL, who in the last levels of play decidedly changes gear: for him 1,606,000 chips to take to Day 2 next Sunday.

The top five is closed by the Romanian 🇷🇴 CORNEL GABRIEL POP (530,000), while in sixth place comes the first Italian: 🇮🇹 SAVERIO FLOTTA manages to bag 486,000 chips after having exceeded 600,000 for a few stretches of play.
