Ricardo Capela opened to 3,000 from middle position, Jakob Miegel called from the cutoff, and Gerard Carbo defended from the big blind.

The flop came 2♣3♦9♠. Carbo checked, Capela bet 4,500, Miegel called, and Carbo folded.

The two remaining players checked the 9♥ turn, leading to the 10♣ river. Capela bet 30,000 and Miegel's hand hit the muck.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Daan Mulders opened to 3,000 from under the gun and saw Idir Haiche and Adria Calonge call from early position and the button respectively.

The Q♥4♠10♦ flop was bet by Mulders for 2,000 and Haiche called. Calonge raised to 10,000 and Mulders mucked.

Haiche took a little more time, before folding his hand, allowing Calonge to take down an early pot on Day 2.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With around 25,000 in the pot on a board of J♦2♣5♦9♣, Slobodan Ruzicic bet 15,000 from the cutoff and Paawan Bansal called in the small blind.

The river was the K♦ and Bansal led out for 27,500. Ruzicic cut out the chips to call from his stack and began shuffling them around for several minutes until another tablemate called the clock.

Ruzicic allowed his 30-second countdown to nearly reach zero before he turned over the J♠ and tossed it into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Paawan Bansal	130,000 41,000	41,000
