Nível 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Day 1a of the 888poker LIVE Madrid Main Event attracted a field of 108 players, and after eleven levels just 55 players remain.

Three more starting flights remain — as well as late registration and unlimited reentry until one level into Day 2 — so the field looks set to grow even further.

888poker Stream Team's Josh Manley was the only 888poker representative flying the flag on Day 1a, with plenty more Ambassadors expected to enter tomorrow including Ian Simpson and Alexandre Mantovani.

The chip leader at the end of Day 1a is Daniel Guerras who managed a double knockout in the penultimate level of the day to soar into the lead. His straight flush draw bested the two pair of both opponents to move above 350,000, and he would extend his lead to 532,500 chips by the end of the day.

Other big stacks include Abraham Serrano (428,000), Nils Memmi (438,000) who are the only other players above 400,000 in chips.

Meanwhile, having made it through to Day 2, Antonio Dascenzo (270,500) will be looking for another deep run, having finished fourth in November 2022 when 888poker last visited the Spanish capital.

Day 1b of the 888poker LIVE Madrid Main Event gets underway at 17:00 local time with eleven more 45-minute levels scheduled. Stay tuned to PokerNews for all the action from the Casino Gran Via.

The pair checked the turn and the river was the . Manley bet 11,000.

"You have king-six suited or something?" asked his opponent. "I hate losing to pros man..." He eventually called, with Manley tabling for trip kings.

"Ah, king-five suited! I was close."

Hand #5: After a raise to 1,500 and a call, Manley folded his small blind.
