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.

"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.

Catching the action on a turn of J♣A♥7♣9♣, "Yamamoto" checked to his opponent Lautaro Guerra, who fired a pot-sized bet of 270,000. "Yamamoto" then shoved for 303,000 and Guerra tossed in a few more chips for the call.
"Yamamoto": J♦10♦8♣7♦
Lautaro Guerra: A♦A♣10♥7♠
The 3♥ river did not pair the board, thus leaving "Yamamoto"s straight best against the set of Guerra, doubling the former up to more than 70 big blinds.

After each player had put in 125,000 preflop, "Appie" shoved in his remaining 85,000 on a flop of 9♦6♥2♦. "Yamamoto" called off and the players showed down.
"Appie": J♣10♦9♠6♠
"Yamamoto": A♣J♦K♠10♣
"Yamamoto" needed to go runner-runner to best "Appie", and the K♥ turn provided him with some outs. The 5♣ river bricked off, however, and "Appie" doubled up late on Day 1a.
