Sergio Somma opened to 3,500 first-to-act and found one caller in Nicolas Crespo in the big blind.
Crespo check-called a 7,500 bet from Somma on the 6♣10♠J♥ flop, but quickly folded facing a shove from Somma for about 30,000 on the 4♠ turn.
Action was heads up with what looked like over 75,000 in the middle and a full board of 8♦J♥A♠3♥J♣ when Nicholas Palma shoved from the big cutoff.
Anton Yakuba went into the tank from the button and shuffled his chips while he contemplated a move.
"I'll just call," Yakuba said as he turned over 8♣8♥ for eights full of jacks. Palma turned over the dusty K♦10♦ and tossed it in the muck.
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi opened 3,000 in the cutoff, and Ewen Trevidy defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♦7♦7♣, and Trevidy check-raised a bet of 3,000 to 8,000 which was enough for Ohulchanskyi to surrender the pot.
Robert Heidorn was all in for a short stack against Ivan Velickovic.
Robert Heidorn: J♥J♦
Ivan Velickovic: A♦K♠
Velickovic took the lead on the flop of K♦Q♠10♠ and the J♠ on the turn improved him to Broadway. Heidorn had full house outs but was eliminated after the 7♦ bricked off on the river.
In a blind versus blind battle, the turn read Q♦10♦3♥A♣. Byron Kaverman checked to Anatoly Korochenskiy who put out a bet of 2,000 into the pot of 7,000.
Kaverman check-raised to 8,500, putting the action back on Korochenskiy. After thinking for about 30 seconds and checking his cards a couple of times, he eventually said, "Ok, I'll fold one time," As he showed the 10♠.
Adria Diaz was all in for around 40,000 and Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi was the one that put him at risk. The cards were already turned up and the dealer was ready to go.
Adria Diaz: A♦9♠
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: K♥Q♥
The board ran out 4♦8♣6♠7♣K♣ and the rivered pair of kings was enough to send Diaz to the rail in the opening moments of Day 2.
Konstantinos Tzinis had already raised from middle position and was three-bet by Karl Nordeman to 10,500 in the hijack. Action folded back around to Tzinis, who four-bet to 20,000. Nordeman called.
Tziniz continued for 15,500 on the 10♦A♣J♥ flop and Nordeman called.
The K♥ turn brought a four-liner to a straight and both players checked.
Nobody bet on the 8♦ either and Tziniz showed A♦A♠ for top set. Nordeman couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Tziniz.
Fabrice Bigot opened to 3,000 from the hijack and Omar Del Pino three-bet to 9,500 from the big blind. Bigot called.
Del Pino bet 4,000 on the flop of 9♣3♦A♦ and Bigot raised all in for 26,500. Del Pino called.
Fabrice Bigot: A♥J♣
Omar Del Pino: K♣K♥
Del Pino had been outflopped and the runout of 4♣8♥ confirmed a double for Bigot.
With a little over 25,000 in the middle the turn read A♥3♥3♦A♣, and Bernat Capdevila Montes check-called a bet of 5,500 from his only opponent in the hand, Emrah Yildiz.
The K♣ completed the board on the river, and Montes took the lead, firing 7,000 into the middle and Yildiz wasted no time tossing his letting his hand go.
