The action was caught on the river as the full board read J♥6♠10♠3♥8♥.
As the floor reported to the room, Marco Monello had been forced all in blind by posting the big blind. There was still action on the side between Brice Guido, in the small blind, and Hirokazu Kobayashi, in early position.
Kobayashi was all in on the river for his last 180,000 and Guido had made the call. The cards were tabled.
Marco Monello: A♣3♦ 
Hirokazu Kobayashi: A♥6♥
Brice Guido: 10♦8♠
Kobayashi held the nut flush ensuring his full double-up and the elimination of Monello. The remaining 73 players progressed to Day 2. Stay tuned for a recap of the day and full chip counts.

Marco Regonaschi moved all in from middle position for 105,000 and was called by Simeon Naydenov in the small blind.
Marco Regonaschi: A♣Q♣
Simeon Naydenov: A♠K♠
Regonaschi's ace was dominated and insufficient help arrived on the A♥4♣9♦4♦5♦ runout, Naydenov's king kicker sending him the pot and sending Regonaschi to the rail.
We are now on the bubble.

Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Michael Descote moved all in for his last 15,000 from middle position. Gil Aboodi, without looking at his cards, made the call.
Michael Descote: K♣K♠
Gil Aboodi: A♣6♣
Aboodi was surprisingly strong given he didn't know his own holding, but the 9♣6♦9♦3♠7♦ runout ensured Descote's double-up.
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action folded to Pavlos Xanthopoulos in the small blind, who moved all in, putting Francisco Caballo to the test for the rest of his stack in hand for hand play. Caballo called.
Franciso Caballo: A♥3♣
Pavlos Xanthopoulos: J♥6♣
Caballo was ahead and remained so after the 5♥8♥10♠ flop.
However the J♦ rolled off on the turn to give Xanthopoulos a pair of jacks, which improved further to trips on the J♠ river.
