The 201 players remaining have just been sent on a 15-minute break, with play in Day 1a concluding when the field reaches 188 players.
Heads-up on a board of 9♣A♥8♦9♦ and around 55,000 in the pot, Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz bet 75,000 from the small blind before Sabare Atmani raised to 150,000 on the button.
Wyrzykiewicz called and the K♥ fell on the river. Wyrzykiewicz checked and Atmani moved all in.
Wyrzykiewicz, with around 220,000 remaining, tanked for nearly five minutes as the rest of the field headed off on break. He eventually folded and Atmani showed Q♠6♥ as he took the pot.
Yang Zhang raised to 10,500 in early position before Domenico Paparo moved all in for 37,000 in the cutoff. Matthias Lipp then reshoved for 50,000 in the big blind. "I was ready to snap-call," Zhang said as he tanked for a moment before calling, having both players covered.
Domenico Paparo: Q♦J♥
Matthias Lipp: Q♣Q♥
Yang Zhang: A♠Q♠
"I guess no queen is coming," a tablemate said as the flop came 8♥J♠8♠. The 10♥ turn left Lipp a card away from a near-triple up, but Zhang caught the K♦ to make a straight and send both opponents to the exit.
Cards were on their backs and Simon Welsch was at risk versus Yves Bianchetti.
Simon Welsch: A♦K♣
Yves Bianchetti: K♦K♥
Welsch had run his ace-king straight into Bianchetti's pocket aces and no help arrived on the 10♣7♣10♦3♣5♠ runout, sending him to the exit and pushing Bianchetti over the 500,000 mark.
Action folded around to Fabian Niederreiter in the small blind who moved all in for 70,000. Rain Heeringas snap-called in the big blind.
Fabian Niederreiter: 10♥9♦
Rain Heeringas: A♥Q♣
"Come on, dealer," Niederreiter pleaded as the flop came A♣9♥J♥, giving both players a pair but Heeringas top pair. The rest of the board came 4♣8♣ and Heeringas sent Niederreiter to the rail.
Heads-up on a flop of 9♥7♥10♠, Boris Angelov moved all in for 45,000 in the small blind and Jonathan Khalifa called in early position.
Boris Angelov: K♦9♦
Jonathan Khalifa: Q♦J♣
"I need your king," Khalifa said as he was chasing a straight. He got his wish as the dealer turned over the K♣.
"Okay, another one," Angelov pleaded, but instead the river was the 4♥ and Angelov was eliminated.
Richard Leblanc opened to 17,000 and Bastien Vial moved all in for 71,000.
Action folded back to Leblanc who made the call to put Vial at risk.
Bastien Vial: Q♣Q♠
Richard Leblanc: 9♠9♦
Vial was in great shape with an overpair and improved to top set on the Q♦2♣7♦ flop, with Leblanc drawing dead after the 7♠ turn.
The 4♠ completed the runout.
Candido Cappiello bet 12,000 from early position on a flop of A♥4♥7♦ and Federico Quevedo called in the big blind.
The turn was the J♥ and Cappiello bet another 20,000. Quevedo again called and the 5♠ fell on the river. Cappiello then moved all in.
"I'm going to take about 45 seconds," Quevedo told the table as he began muttering to himself. He eventually called for his last 30,000 and Cappiello turned over A♠K♠ for top pair.
"That's going to win," Quevedo said as he exposed 7♠6♦ before leaving the table.
