The remaining 30 players from Day 1a are on their fifth minute break of the night, this one for 10 minutes. The final 26 players will advance to Day 2 and automatically be in the money.
In a four-way limped pot that saw the flop check through leading to a board of 4♠J♣8♥Q♠, action checked around to Hassan Nashar who bet 100,000 from middle position, receiving a call from an opponent in the hijack while two opponents in the blinds opted to fold.
Nashar bet another 100,000 on the Q♣ river and was once again called.
Nashar tabled 10♦9♦ for a queen-high straight to take the pot and continue accumulating chips.
With two players seeing a final board of 7♣5♠A♦7♦6♦ and about 200,000 already in the middle, Ihor Kaliahin checked from middle position and Nikita Voznesenski bet 100,000 from the hijack. Kaliahin made the call.
Voznesenski tabled A♥Q♠ for aces up and Kaliahin's hand hit the muck.

Ante: 30,000
Azamat Tulepbergenov opened to 55,000 from the cutoff and Tanju Karayigit three-bet shoved for about 150,000 from the button. Tulepbergenov called to put Karayigit at risk.
Tanju Karayigit: A♠8♦
Azamat Tulepbergenov: K♥4♥
Karayigit was a slight favvorite preflop but Tulepbergenov pulled way ahead on the K♣8♥J♥ flop with top pair and a flush draw. The 9♥ turn gave Tulepbergenov the flush leaving Karayigit drawing dead and after the 6♣ river the latter player made his exit from the tournament area while Tulepbergenov took the pot.
Vadzim Haiduk found himself all in for about 600,000 and was up against Savvas Omirou who had him slightly covered.
Vadzim Haiduk: A♥J♥
Savvas Omirou: J♠J♦
Omirou had the best of it preflop and remained ahead with his jacks on the 4♥7♥Q♠8♦2♠ runout to send Haiduk to the rail and secure nearly a full double up.
