After his near bracelet miss in the opening event, Andrew Pantling has exploded out of the blocks like Carl Lewis with a stick of dynamite up his rear here in the Main Event, his stack increasing almost two-fold to around the 55,000 mark just half way through level one.
The board read 
, and after Philipp Gruissem had led for 4,500, and Terje Augdal flat-called, Pantling check-raised to 16,000. The initial aggressor matched the raise, but Augdal chucked away his hand.
Pantling tabled 
to take the pot, and the chip lead.
