Players are now on their second 15-minute break of the day. There are currently 284 total entrants for Day 1b of which 187 players remain. Late registration will be open for three more levels after the break.
With players heads up on a board reading J♦6♥6♦7♣ and about 5,500 in the middle, Alejandro Lococo bet 7,000 from out of position and John Nahum moved all in, covering Lococo who had just bought in for 30,000 chips.
"Nice hand," Lococo said, showing 5♥4♥ before making the fold. Nahum flashed the 8♣ and scooped the pot.
Level: 7
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
With three players (one of whom, Stefan Lehner, was already all in) seeing a board of 3♣A♥5♥A♠4♠ and about 30,000 already in the middle (roughly 2,000 of which was in the side pot), Marcin Kreft checked and Nicolay Langfeldt bet 20,000. Kreft made the call and immediately picked up his cards as if he were ready to muck them.
Lehner revealed 10♠10♦, Kreft had A♣8♥ for trip aces and Langfeldt tabled 5♠5♦ for fives full of aces to eliminate Lehner and take down a colossal pot.
With players heads up on a board reading 5♥4♦8♥3♠A♥ and about 40,000 already in the middle, Christopher Rossos checked from the big blind and Carl Shaw, who came third place in the 2023 EPT Barcelona main event, bet 16,000. Rossos made the call.
Shaw tabled 4♣2♣ for a wheel and Rossos' cards hit the muck.
Level: 6
Blinds: 300/600

With three players seeing a board reading 5♥6♣A♣3♥ and about 5,000 already in the middle, Fawzi Bou Karam checked from middle position and Frederick Anastasiades bet 3,300 from the hijack. Olga Iermolcheva called from the cutoff and Karam called as well.
On the Q♠ river both Karam and Anastasiades checked. Iermolcheva bet 10,500, both Karam and Anastasiades opted to fold and Iermolcheva took down a decent pot uncontested.
