Ended Day 1A with 101100 chips, avg was 61000 or so, 51 from the 155 starters survived the day. (I could've had 115k, but I 3bet BvB with queens for +10k(1600 blinds) he pushed 30k(we had history, too, solid player, good stack, we were talking lots) and I knew he'd not release to a shove.
I also knew he had AA KK and AK as only possible hands he'd do this with with THREE hands left of the day, so I was flipping at best and I didn't want to hurt my stack that much, so I took a 10k loss and asked if he'd show if I folded. AKs.
Happy about my result, for sure.
They are expecting 200+ players to start tomorrow.
Blinds will begin at 1k/2k-200 on saturday, so sitting pretty on 50+bb still.
There _is_ a live feed for the feature table on unibetopen.com, I have not yet been seated there, will twitter if I get moved, obviously.
That'll be the update for now. Because it's 3am and I've played for 10 hours.

Just finished day 1B, long story short:
1) 5betting AA on BTN, crazy Italian called and folded on 257 flop on my tiny bet his KK face up (wtf?)
2) Max value from AJ and board KQT9x from JK
3) About 10k with AK on AK944 board from AQ
After this 3 hands I was on 55k (avg 21k or so).
But then, it was really really sick, but I was totally card dead for 8 hours!!! The best hand I had was AJs an I just stole blinds with that. Another 3 small pocker pairs I had, there was all the time 3bet and call before me.
The next very sad thing was the really really bad play from some 100yrs old Polish guys, who after raise 3K went all-in for lik 65k with AA and get paid twice (AK and QQ) - omg Im spending like hours of thinking how could I play and they hust got rockets, say all-in without counting the chips or even looking, and they get paid. Oh yeah, whatever, gotta love this game 
To sum it up - I finished day 1B with 27k, which is somthng like 14BB tomorrow. GL me and fruktpuff as well obviusly - we will talk tomorrom more, buddy, I had limited time today 
Final counts came in overnight, I'm currently 12/101, with 39 paid.
Ales, the dutchman two seats on your left is agressive but fairly tight when it comes to calling.
The tournament is now, unfortunately, over for me.
Busted 41/308, happy with my result as such.. But just shy of the money at 39 paid.
Held KK and UTG opened 50k when I had 93k chips after ante and I pushed it in, obviously.
I had him on a 8% or so range, but excluded KK so in actuality about 6.9%, I was a 69% favourite against the range, 71% against the AQo he called my shove from MP1 or MP2 with.
Board ran A23QJ and I was down to exactly 2k chips with 3000/6000-500 and busted two hands later.
Unibet Open official blog of the hand.
No money this time, but if I qualify in for Unibet Open Prague in february, I'll do better.
Apologies to my stakers for the lack of profits,
Regards

Unlucky man and well played, pretty sick on the bubble but theres nothing you can do. Well done getting as deep as you did.
As this event has ended, and I did not cash, we'll close this thread, any further comments can be done in feedback linked to in the OP.
Regards,
Richard
