Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Bora Kurtulus had gone all in for 70,000 preflop and was looked up by Iurii Saiapin in the seat next to him.

Bora Kurtulus: J♠J♣ All in
Iurii Saiapin: K♠K♥

The 7♥2♥6♥ flop left Kurtulus with one out, which did not come in on the 7♦ turn or 8♥ river.

Saiapin made a flush to eliminate Kurtulus in 62nd as the latter became the bubble boy of Day 1b.

The remaining 61 players celebrated as they bagged and tagged for Day 2.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Grzegorz Popiolek opened for 16,000 in early position and was called by Malcolm McKinlay in middle position. Dimitrios Gkatzas then jammed all in for 66,000 in the hijack and was called by Popiolek.

Dimitrios Gkatzas: J♥J♣ All in
Grzegorz Popiolek: A♠Q♦

With live commentary by Hassan Nashar, the 5♥9♦A♥ flop saw Popiolek shoot ahead in the flop. The 6♦ turn and 4♣ river could not save Gkatzas as he was the first player to depart during hand-for-hand.

Tian Hao Zheng jammed his final 50,000 or so under the gun and was snap called by Hugo Machado in the big blind.

Losev Loses to Nashar on River

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a pot of 105,000 Alexey Losev pushed all in for 89,000 on a turn of 5♠2♥10♥7♠ from early position. Hassan Nashar in the cutoff asked for a count, which Losev understood as "call."

He was about to show his cards when the players and dealer stopped him, after which he decided that his mouth was a suitable place to store them instead.

"I just have ace-high," Nashar confessed. It mattered little, however, as he slammed in a call shortly after stating his hand.

Alexey Losev: K♣10♣ All in
Hassan Nashar: A♠9♠

Nashar celebrated loudly as the 8♠ river made him his flush and he eliminated Losev shortly before the money.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jakob Miegel shoved his small blind for 80,000 and was reluctantly called off by Ludovic Breau in the big blind.

Jakob Miegel: 8♥6♥ All in
Ludovic Breau: A♥8♦

Breau dominated Miegel, but the 10♥10♦2♠6♦ saw Miegel take a big lead. The 8♣ river made Breau the best pair however, tens and eights with an ace kicker, and he eliminated Miegel late on Day 1b.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Tjan Tepeh got his stack of 100,000 in from the cutoff against Sergi Reixach in the hijack and was at risk.

Tjan Tepeh: Q♠Q♣ All in
Sergi Reixach: 10♥10♦

The 8♠5♥J♦ flop was a safe one for Tepeh, but the 10♣ turn saw Reixach hit his set. The 8♣ upgraded him to a full house as he ended up with around a double-average stack.
