Like on Day 1a, the second flight will start at Level 1 with blinds of 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Players will have a starting stack of 30,000 chips and try to increase it until they reach the money (the bubble will burst once approximately 15% of the field remains). After that, they’ll be qualified for Day 2 and bag up their chips for the night.
The only difference with Day 1a is that Day 1b will be an accelerated flight, with 20-minute levels. There will be 20-minute breaks every five levels, and late registration will end after Level 10 (around 10:40 p.m.). Also, players are allowed unlimited reentries.

Cristian Nogales Bravo opened from middle position to 600 and was called by both players in the blinds.
On the flop A♥A♠6♦, Nogales Bravo made a continuation bet of 600. Nathan Tetart in the small blind check-folded, but 2023 EPT Monte Carlo finalist Samy Boujmala in the big blind check-raised to 2,100.
Nogales Bravo called and the 4♦ landed on the turn. Boujmala checked, then snap-folded when Nogales Bravo threw a few chips in front of him.

After an open by the hijack, Fatih Sen called in the cutoff, but Oleg Bessaev in the big blind chose to three-bet to 2,700. The hijack folded, but Sen made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 3♦J♦4♥, where Bessaev bet 2,500. Sen quickly called and snap-called again when Bessaev fired a second barrel of 5,500 on the turn 6♣.
Finally, both players decided to check on the river 2♦. Bessaev revealed 10♥10♣, but discovered A♣J♥ in Sen's hands who scooped the pot.
