Mor Eliminated

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Tal Mor
Tal Mor

On the three-way flop of {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Alex Baena I Carrasco bet 8,000 and picked up two callers including Tal Mor in the cutoff. The {10-Diamonds} followed on the turn and the Spaniard, who was first to act, pushed all in. His table neighbor reluctantly folded and Mor sigh-called for his last 13,000.

Baena I Carrasco tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for top pair and a straight draw, and Mor had {j-Spades}{9-Clubs} for the same straight draw and inferior pair. The river was the {10-Spades} and Mor headed to the rail.

Lamarca Capa Missing

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jose Maria Lamarca Capa is no longer featured on Day 1b, as the Spaniard sent his entire big stack over to Luca Marchetti. The Italian is one of several players on the rise, his countryman Stefano Schiano also added more chips after his set of tens was paid off.

Schiano bet the {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} river for 17,500 and was called to show {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for the full house.

Saar's Hero Call is Good

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a flop of {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, the small blind checked and Siiri Saar in the big blind bet 3,500, which only Andrea Poncetta called. What followed was the {q-Spades} on the river and Saar checked. Poncetta now bet 7,500 and Saar, who only had 20,000 behind, eventually made the call.

Poncetta shook his head and tabled {a-Spades}{3-Spades}, and Saar had {6-Clubs}{4-Spades} for bottom pair and a busted gutshot to claim the pot.

Evard Busts and Re-Enters

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Francois Evard open-shoved from the button for his last few big blinds with the {k-}{9-} and the online qualifier from Romania made the call with {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. The board came {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Evard quickly headed to the registration desk to re-enter once more.

Lamarca Capa Takes On the Italians

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Luca Marchetti bet the {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Spades} flop for 6,500 and Jose Maria Lamarca Capa raised to 15,000. Marchetti gave it some thought and called.

On the {2-Hearts} turn, Marchetti checked and Lamarca Capa moved all in. That sent Marchetti into the think tank and he used his last two time banks, which ran down to see his cards declared dead.

Soon after, another Italian took on Lamarca Capa in Giuseppe Carbone. The {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop brought a check-call for 6,500 by Carbone, who then check-folded the {2-Diamonds} turn when facing a bet of 13,000.

Biri Adds More Chips

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Marcello Miniucchi has emerged as one of the bigger stacks and Balazs Biri continues to dominate the action at his table. With another over-bet on the river of a four-card straight board, he forced a fold and claimed the pot without showdown.

Tom-Aksel Bedell lost half of his stack and dropped below the average as just half of the Day 1b field remains with 80 players out of 162 entries still claiming chips to their name in the late stages of the night.

A "Big Gift" for Lootsma

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Yaron Ben Avi was no longer seated and Werner Lootsma was sitting behind a big stack, which prompted fellow Dutchman Teunis Kooij to mention "it was a gift, an early Christmas gift."

According to Kooij, Lootsma had three-bet to 9,000 on the button and Ben Avi then four-bet shoved in the multi-way pot for 60,000 with ace-ten. Lootsma called with queens and held up to join the big stacks.

In the next hand, Lootsma raised to 2,300 and Francesco Di Profio called from one seat over. Lootsma continued for 3,000 on the {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop and was called, which prompted a second barrel and call on the {10-Diamonds} turn. The {j-Clubs} river was checked and they both showed king-queen to chop it up.

Gurrutxaga Busts Once More

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jon Gurrutxaga
Jon Gurrutxaga

Jon Gurrutxaga peaked at more than 110,000 not too long ago, then dropped to around half of that. Just now, he was involved in a preflop war with big stack Jai Saha and three-bet only for Saha to four-bet shove.

Gurrutxaga had around 48,000 total and used some of his time banks before making the call with {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Saha showed {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and a board full of rags later, Gurrutxaga left the tournament area for the second time today.

Gregori Scoops a Pot

Oriol Gregori
Oriol Gregori

Francesco Di Profio limped in, the button raised to 2,100 and Oriol Gregori called in the small blind, as did Yaron Ben Avi in the big blind. On the {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, the button made it 4,500 to go and Gregori was the only caller.

The {9-Hearts} turn and {q-Hearts} river were checked and Gregori showed {8-Spades}{7-Spades} for a pair of eights, which won the pot.
