The 71 remaining players have hit the second 15-minute break of the day.
There have been a total of 90 entries thus far on Day 1a.
Florin Elisei opened to 1,300 from under the gun and was promptly three-bet by Loustau Hugo on his left to 4,200. Carmen Zainescu took some time in the big blind before making the call, with Elisei also tossing in calling chips.
The 3♠2♦5♣ flop saw Zainescu and Elisei check to Hugo, who continued for 3,600. Elisei was the only caller to see the 5♦ turn, checking once more.
Hugo announced a bet of 14,000 and was called by Elisei to the 2♠ river. Elisei took the lead, moving all in. That was quickly called by Hugo, who showed K♠10♠.
Elisei turned over 5♥4♥ for a full house, sending Hugo to the rail while collecting a sizeable pot.
