Other notables to bust after the end of late registration include Niklas Astedt, Julien Sitbon, and Nozomu Shimizu, who bluff shoved and was called lightly by Marcelo Bonanata late in the day.

Team PokerStars ambassador Benjamin Spragg also fired two bullets before ultimately falling short of the money, thanks in part to losing a flip against fellow PokerStars ambassador Alejandro Lococo. Hand wasn't able to hang onto that momentum, however, and ended up busting two bullets before late registration ended. Team PokerStars ambassador Fintan Hand jumped out to an early lead after catching a flush against against Elias Abussamra's flopped set of sevens. Day 1 started off with 12 entrants and it didn't take long for the action to heat up and for players to start busting each other.
