On the river of a board 
, Andrea Manzoni bet 4,700 and his sole remaining opponent called to get shown 
by the Italian, which was more than enough to drag in the pot. Manzoni is among the bigger stacks in the room right now with rather tight action early on Day 1b.

Jens Ostergaard has re-entered after his early exit and now sits on a table with two big stacks in Giuseppe Carbone and Lamberto Collina. The latter took on fellow Italian Simone Rosano, who three-bet an open raise to 600 and a call by Alexandre Tannouri. Rosano in the cutoff made it 2,200 to go and he was called by Collina and Tannouri.
On a 
flop, action checked to Rosano and he continued for 2,700, only Collina called and then led the 
turn for 10,500. That won the pot right there, as Collina dragged in the pot without showdown.

With the completed board showing 
, Ankit Mehta bet 1,200 into a pot of 5,000 out of the small blind and Siiri Saar made it 5,700 to go from under the gun. Mehta gave it some thought and called without using one of his time banks and Saar turned over 
for just a pair of fives.
Mehta had that beat with 
for top pair and added further chips to his resume on Day 1b, which he has neatly sorted in stacks of 10.

Khalil Youssafi raised to 700 and picked up two callers including Maarten Wichgers. The flop brought 
and the action checked to Youssafi, who continued for 700. Only Wichgers called and the turn went check, check.

for two pair.
