Cards went on their backs on Table 3, with Josh Emerton in the hijack at risk for 3,600 against David Tavares Fialho on the button.
Josh Emerton: A♣4♣ 
David Tavares Fialho: A♦J♦
Emerton stood up and was ready to leave when he revealed his cards. But he was lucky enough to hit trips on a board of Q♣4♠7♦3♣4♦ to stay in the tournament.
On a board of 9♥9♦A♦2♥Q♥ with approximately 28,000 in the pot, Krisztian Kis under the gun bet 26,500, but saw Cesare Florio on the button raise to 65,000.
Kis seemed to had no choice but to call, so he did with A♥10♥ for the nut flush. But he was quite surprise to discover that Florio had Q♣9♣ for a full house hit on the river.
Thanks to this pot, Florio has now more than 150,000 chips, while Kis only has 33,000 chips left.
Late Registration closed after the break at the end of Level 6. A total of 172 players were recorded on the first flight of the Main Event.

Level: 7
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 1,000
The 121 players still in the tournament are on a 15-minute break.
Kevin Houghton opened to 2,000 from the hijack and faced Marco Meisser, who defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 4♥A♠7♣. Houghton fired a continuation bet, but Meisser check-raised to 5,500. Houghton snap-called to find the Q♦ turn, which was quickly checked by both players.
On the river 5♠, Meisser bet more than Houghton's stack to force him to go all-in. But Houghton wisely folded to keep his last 16,000 chips.
After an open to 1,800 by the player under the gun, Tristan Taylor in middle position and Mohamed Aissani in the big blind both called.
Everybody checked on the 8♣J♣K♣ flop. But after two more checks, Taylor bet 1,500. He was only called by Aissani.
The 5♠ on the river brought no more action, and the pot went in Taylor's direction as he flipped over 10♣7♣ for a flush while Aissani had 3♣3♠.
Level 6 just started and it is the last level for late registration. 160 entrants have been recorded so far on Day 1a.
Level: 6
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
At his new seat, Fabio Peluso defended from the big blind after Nikolaos Tsitos opened to 1,300 from middle position.
The flop of 4♥4♣8♥ brought no action as both players checked. But on the turn 7♥, Peluso led out for 2,000. Tsitos called, then bet 7,000 on the turn 10♥.
This bet was way too much for Peluso, who check-folded.
