1:17pm: Ung felted; Kempe, Adams on the rise
Level 2 - Blinds 500/1,000 (100 ante)

The day's first knockout has already occurred here in the middle of Level 2.

A preflop raising war between Senh Ung and Rainer Kempe saw Ung all in and at risk with ace-king versus Kempe's pocket nines. The nines held, Ung is out (perhaps to re-enter), and Kempe is now sitting with about 200,000 or twice the starting stack.

Meanwhile Timothy Adams took a decent-sized pot off of Charlie Carrel a short while ago, and he sits with about 160,000 in the early going. --MH

1:01pm: Level 2 begins
Level 2 - Blinds 500/1,000 (100 ante)

It's a new level already, but there's no increase in either the blinds or antes. --MH

12:53pm: The usual suspects
Level 1 - Blinds 500/1,000 (100 ante)

We've already seen a couple all-ins even in the first level of the tournament.

In one instance, Mike McDonald raise-shoved over a river bet by Orpen Kisacikoglu to claim a decent-sized pot. McDonald is up around 130,000 at present.

Meanwhile on the next table over, Christoph Vogelsang and Nicholas Palma got it all in on only to discover both had been dealt pocket kings. The board provided no four-flushes, and the pair chopped the pot. --MH

12:46pm: More arrivals
Level 1 - Blinds 500/1,000 (100 ante)

The empty seats are starting to fill and a fifth table has been opened as more than 30 players are in action now. Adrian Mateos, Jeffrey Rossiter, and Anthony Zinno are among the latest to claim seats. --MH

12:39pm: The usual suspects
Level 1 - Blinds 500/1,000 (100 ante)

A couple of minutes into today's event and the big board is showing 19 players registered so far, with 17 of them in their seats and playing short-handed at four tables. Late registration is open until the start of Level 9.

At one table is Mike McDonald, Daniel Dvoress, Kyle Frey, and Demetrio Barreca. At another we find Sergey Lebedev, David Peters, Ryan Riess, Senh Ung, and Fernando Brito.

Nearby at a third table are seated Pierre Neuville, Christoph Vogelsang, Laui Varonen, and Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier. And at the fourth we find Timothy Adams, Pratyush Buddiga, Ben Heath, and Charlie Carrel. --MH

12:31pm: Shuffle up and deal!
Level 1 - Blinds 500/1,000 (100 ante)

The first hands of the €10K Single-Day High Roller are being dealt. Players are starting with deep stacks 100,000 chips, but the blinds and antes will start increasing soon thanks to the short 30-minute levels. --MH
