"Appie" had got his stack of 180,000 in from the cutoff against tournament chipleader Youness Barakat on the button.
"Appie": A♠A♦6♥3♥ 
Youness Barakat: A♣Q♦6♣5♦
The 4♦3♦K♦ flop left "Appie" drawing thin, and Brakat's flush locked up the pot oon the 5♥ turn. The 8♣ river was rendered meaningless as Barakat chipped up even further, ending up with a stack of roughly 350 big blinds.
Tom-Aksel Bedell, who fired a few bullets already on Day 1a, was back down to a stack of 180,000, which he got in the middle on a flop of 9♠7♥6♥ against Bernard Larabi.
Tom-Aksel Bedell: K♥J♥5♥4♣
Bernard Larabi: A♣10♣8♦4♠
Larabi had flopped the nuts and won the pot when Bedell did not improve on the A♦7♠ runout.
Bedell immediately headed back to the reentry desk as the two players with the most reentries on Day 1a will be awarded a ticket to the €10,300 Championship from the tournament organizers.
Dario Alioto got his stack of 82,000 in from the cutoff against Tina Bajric in the big blind.
Dario Alioto: K♠K♣Q♠4♠
Tina Bajric: A♦Q♦8♣7♣
Alioto made a full house on the J♠2♣J♣10♥J♥ runout and doubled up to roughly 18 big blinds.
Lautaro Guerra raised to 30,000 in the hijack, being called by Ronald Keijzer and Elie Nakache in the blinds.
The table was graced with K♥K♦K♣ as flop, which was checked to Guerra. He bet 25,000, which only Keijzer called. Guerra sized up to 65,000 on the 2♠ turn, seeing his opponent check-call again.
Both players then checked on the Q♦ river, with Keijzer winning the pot with A♦Q♥10♠2♦ for trip kings with ace-queen kicker.
Meanwhile, Leonid Yanovski had captured the chip lead on the table, while Tom-Aksel Bedell had reentered after his latest eliminations and sat on three starting stacks.
Level: 10
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 10,000
"Appie" had been put all-in preflop by Lautaro Guerra in the big blind, and he called off their stack of 155,000 once it had folded back to him on the button.
"Appie": A♦K♣10♣9♥
Lautaro Guerra: K♠K♦5♥4♠
The 3♣Q♦6♣ flop gave "Appie" a flush draw, while the 9♠ turn paired him up for even more outs. However, the 8♦ river stopped improving his hand and he was sent out late on Day 1a.
Tina Bajric raised to 20,000 as first to act, after which Robert Cowen three-bet to 70,000 in the hijack. Big blind Spyridon Valakos then four-bet to 238,000, which Bajric called.
Cowen called all-in for 170,000 total, after which Valakos shoved his remaining 96,000 in before he had seen the flop. It came K♣10♥5♥, and Bajric called off after some deliberation.
Robert Cowen: K♦Q♠8♠7♦
Spyridon Valakos: A♥A♠J♣4♥
Tina Bajric: Q♦8♦7♠5♦
Valakos locked up the pot on the 9♥ turn, improving his flush a little bit on the 7♥ river. He took in the enormous pot while Cowen, who was among the big stacks throughout the majority of the day, left empty-handed.
After a couple of players had limped in, "Yamamoto" raised the pot from the cutoff. Elie Nakache then jammed in his stack of 172,000, forcing out the limper and getting a call from Nakache.
Elie Nakache: K♦K♣5♥5♦
"Yamamoto": J♠J♦8♥8♦
Nakache made an unessecary full house on the 4♠2♠5♣2♥10♥ runout to double up, earning a little bit extra due to the limps.
Nino Pansier had put in his final 83,000 on a flop of 9♥J♠10♥ on the button and was called by Harry Casagrande and "HansImperator" in the blinds.
Casagrande and "HansImperator" then checked through the 4♥ turn before the 10♣ fell on the river. Casagrande made a bet of 150,000, folding out "HansImperator" and forcing a showdown.
Casagrande showed A♠J♥J♦7♦ for a full house, besting the flush of Pansier, who headed to the reentry desk with A♥9♦5♠5♥.
