Mihail Zglavoci open-shoved for about 65,000 in early position. The recently reentered K.L. called for 38,000 in the hijack, and the two players showed down.
K.L.: 7♦6♦ 
Mihail Zglavoci: A♠K♠
Zglavoci made an unnecessary pair of aces on the 2♠Q♥5♠A♣10♥ runout to secure the pot and eliminate K.L. for the third time on Day 1b.
Level: 12
Blinds: 2,000/5,000
Ante: 5,000
Keith Johnson opened the action with a raise to 8,000 in the hijack. Yuzhou Yin upped the ante to 24,000 in the small blind, and Johnson came along to a 4♣6♣K♥ flop.
Yin placed a continuation-bet of 14,000, which Johnson swiftly called. Yin checked the subsequent 5♥ turn over to Johnson, who took the opportunity to move all in for 52,500.
Yin did not need long before he made the call, putting Johnson at risk of being eliminated.
Keith Johnson: 8♠8♥
Yuzhou Yin: Q♠Q♣
Johnson's eights did not improve as the 6♠ river paired the board, resulting in his exit from Day 1b.
Harry Sandford and Andrew Lam had created a pot worth 20,000 when Sandford checked the 7♥2♣K♥ flop from the small blind. Lam fired a bet of 12,000 in response, which Sandford called.
The 7♠ quickly checked through to the 6♣ river, where Sandford checked for a third time. Lam picked the aggression back up with a bet of 25,000, and Sandford instantly called.
Lam could only show ace-high with A♣10♣, leaving Sandford to take the pot with K♦5♠ for top pair. Just before this hand, Nick Eastwood had departed from this table to exit Day 1b.
Level: 11
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
Heads-up to the J♣6♥8♠ flop, Keith Tuckley checked from the big blind to Lee Rogers in the cutoff, who fired a bet of 5,500. Tuckley raised to 15,500, and Rogers called.
Tuckley slid in 20,000 chips on the 5♦ turn, seeing his opponent call once again. The K♦ river made Tuckley size up to 36,000. Rogers took some time before deciding to fold and give up on the pot.
A preflop raising war between Ian Simpson on the button and Trung Tran in the big blind resulted in Simpson being all in for his stack of 172,500, which Tran called with the covering stack.
Ian Simpson: A♠K♣
Trung Tran: J♠J♥
Tran's jacks remained ahead on the 5♣10♥2♣ flop, but Simpson struck on the K♥ turn. Tran needed a jack to drag the big pot, but the river came the 2♦ instead.
Simpson doubled up to be among the top counts in the ream, leaving Tran with a stack of 15 big blinds.
