Boris Angelov opened from early position and called when Jonathan Guedes moved all in for 1,350,000 from the big blind.
Jonathan Guedes: J♠J♣
Boris Angelov: K♠Q♣
Guedes found a jack on the J♥10♥9♦ flop to make a set but Angelov flopped the stone cold nuts.
Guedes could not fill up on the A♥ turn or Q♠ river and was the first casualty of the day.

In a limped pot between the blinds to the A♥6♦5♠ flop. Boris Angelov bet 150,000 with 10♣3♦. Rania Nasreddine called with her 9♠8♠. Angelov's ten-high was still the best hand on the 4♣ turn, and he folded out his opponent after firing another barrel of 425,000.
In another limped pot between the blinds, Nasreddine, with 7♠6♣, and Derk van Luijk, with K♥8♦, saw the Q♣8♣5♦ flop. Nasreddine bet 200,000 with her open-ender, and Van Luijk called with his middle pair.
The 5♥ turn saw Nasreddine continue for 350,000 and was called once more. The 3♣ river gave Van Luijk the checkmark, but he faced another bet as Nasreddine slid in another 700,000. Van Luijk folded the best hand and Nasreddine chipped up.

Boris Angelov opened to 300,000 from early position with 8♦8♣. Rania Nasreddine called from the cutoff with K♣J♣.
Nasreddine made top pair on the J♠5♦2♥ flop, and action checked through to the 4♣ turn. Angelov bet 500,000 and was called.
The 2♦ river was brick, confirming Nasreddine's hand as best. Angelov fired 1,200,000 into a 2,000,000 chip pot. Nasreddine meant to call but accidentally clicked it to 2,400,000 which folded out Angelov.
