PokerStars pro Katja Thater saw her EPT dreams crushed as her opponent hit trips on the river to crack her aces and send the German packing. As for others in the PokerStars stable, Daniel Negreanu, Tom McEvoy and PCA champ Bertrand "Elky" Grosspellier each failed to survive Day 1. They were joined on the rail by Tony G, Andy Black and new BetFair signee Sorel "Imper1um" Mizzi.
Many pros remain in the field, including EPT Dortmund winner Mike "Timex" McDonald, who found a set of queens on the river to crack his opponents kings late in the day. Former Scandinavian Open champ Noah Boeken, Rolf Slotboom, Thor Hansen, Bill Chen and Alexander Kravchenko were among those bagging chips at the end of the night.
Dane Peter Eastgate bagged the most chips heading into Day 2.
