Samuel Prieto Roldan moved all in for 44,000 from early position and was called by Simone Andrian from the big blind.
Samuel Prieto Roldan: A♠4♣
Simone Andrian: 9♦9♣
Andrian's pair remained best following the 2♣5♥6♥10♠8♣ runout.
Bernard Mendy raised to 11,000 from under the gun and earned two callers in David Tous Rosich from the next seat and Alessandro Adinolfo.
The flop came 5♦3♥2♦ and it checked to Adinolfo, who bet 15,000. Mendy called only for Tous Rosich to check-shove for around 150,000. Adinolfo then also called all-in and Mendy vaulted out of his chair, exclaiming "ah putain," then folding.
Alessandro Adinolfo: 4♥4♠
David Tous Rosich: Q♥Q♠
The 8♦ turn and K♠ river completed the board for Adinolfo to bust.
"You win?" Tous Rosich asked and Mendy replied "of course I win, king-high flush draw."
Romain Lewis jammed for about 44,000 in early position, and the action folded around to Mats Ullereng in the big blind as he dropped a chip to make the call.
Romain Lewis: J♥10♥
Mats Ullereng: A♦K♥
Lewis was a small underdog but the Q♠10♠6♥ flop gave him the lead with a pair of tens. It was short-lived though as the A♥ fell on the turn, and Lewis couldn't complete his flush draw as the Q♣ paired the board on the river.
Maxime Garin open shoved for 45,000 from early position. Action folded around to Mourad Amokrane, who made the call in the big blind. Players flipped their cards, with Garin at risk.
Maxime Garin: 9♠8♠
Mourad Amokrane: A♠K♦
The board ran out J♦8♣A♦7♠K♣. Amokrane paired his ace on the flop and made two pair with the king on the river. He won the pot and Garin was eliminated from the tournament.
Dara O'Kearney raised 10,000 in the hijack and called the 28,000 shove from Jaume Niell Alomar on the button.
Jaume Niell Alomar: K♥Q♣
Dara O'Kearney: K♦9♦
The K♠6♦2♣ flop was looking promising for Alomar but the 9♣ turn gave O'Kearney two pair to take the lead. The 8♠ river was a brick as Alomar tapped the table and said good luck to the players.
Fabrice Fort opened to 16,000 from middle position and was called by Ismail Kalkan from the button.
Fort continued for 20,000 on the A♦5♠2♠ flop. Kalkan then started to reel off a speech but folded.
The following hand, Fort opened again and called when Renji Mao jammed for around 70,000.
Fort had A♣K♣ and was up against 10♠10♣. Fort became the favorite after the K♥3♠6♣ flop and held out to scoop in consecutive pots after the 7♠ turn and A♦ river.
Within the last ten minutes, four tables broke and the field has already plummeted to a mere 233 hopefuls with 166 of them making the cut for Day 2.
Ruoqin Cai opened 10,000 under the gun and Ali Zebarjad called next to act before Pasquale Grimaldi jammed about 70,000 across the line. Bo Liu was short-stacked with just 25,000 and called it off on the button before Cai folded. Zebarjad took a bit longer before coming to the same decision saying, "This is a big one."
Bo Liu: J♥J♣
Pasquale Grimaldi: A♦A♣
Grimaldi's aces were able to hold as the dealer ran out the K♣Q♦7♠9♦Q♠ board.
Following an under-the-gun raise, Alfonso Simone moved all in for 35,000 from late position and Antoine Jallon flat-called one seat across. Laurent Cessy then moved all in over the top for 75,000 from the button. The original raiser folded and Jallon tossed in a chip to make the call.
Alfonso Simone: A♥J♦
Laurent Cessy: K♠K♦
Antoine Jallon: A♣J♠
Simone and Jallon both had ace-jack, putting them well behind Cessy with his pocket kings. The board ran out 10♥Q♥3♠9♥6♦. Cessy held with his kings to win a huge pot, putting a dent in Jallon's stack and sending Simone to the rail.
Petre Ionescu opened to 9,000 from early position and was called by Harry Michel Wakem-Ngayap from two seats over. Ankit Ahuja moved all in for 62,000 from the small blind which prompted Ionescu to rejam as the bigger stack. Wakem-Ngayap folded.
Ankit Ahuja: K♥Q♠
Petre Ionescu: A♠K♦
Ahuja was dominated and found no help on the 9♣2♥4♦ flop. The A♦ turn left him drawing dead and the 7♠ completed the board to mark Ahuja's exit.
