PokerStars EPT Polish Open from Hyatt Regency in Warsaw, Poland - Day 1B Summary
Day 1 is now compete at the EPT Polish open, presented by PokerStars. The Hyatt Regency in Warsaw saw 359 players over two day one flights.  Just 61 of those second flight passengers will return Thursday for Day 2 action.

By the time bagging and tagging arrived, Dan Pedersen of Denmark had finished the day with 90k and the chip lead.  Day 1A participant Robert Flink holds onto the oveall lead and is the only player in six-figures.

Andy Black powered through players like EPT Prague winner Arnaud Mattern and Thomas Wahlroos to advance to Day 2.  The Irishman did Wahlroos dirty, looking up the Finn's big slick with 10-6 and flopping a ten, sending Wahlroos packing.  Black will be joined in Day 2 by short-stacked American Liz Lui, Norway's Trond Erik Eidsvig and Mads Andersen of Denmark.

Team PokerStars Pro Greg Raymer probably didn't event make the dinner break.  He looked to be chopping, A-K versus A-K, but the flush for his opponent meand the former World Champion was not going to pick up an EPT title.
