Omar Dahmani checked it over to David Vamplew on the river of a board reading 
.
Vamplew bet 4,400 which was close to pot and left him just over 3,000 behind. Dahmani took a minute to think about it, eventually asking Vamplew to raise his arms so he could clearly see his remaining stack. A few more moments though and Dahmani made the call.
Vamplew revealed his turned set holding 
. Could this be the hand that he needed to regain some momentum after a difficult few hours? The answer was no as Dahmani turned over his 
rivered straight.
Vamplew was crippled and open shoved the next two hands without picking up any callers. The third time it was folded to him he mucked but it will take a mighty effort to survive just Day 1a from here.
