We picked up with the action to find PokerStars Team Online Pro Ronan Monfort and Dominique Franchi looking down at a completed board of 
. With a sizable pot already in the middle, Franchi checked over to Monfort. Monfort flicked out a single T5,000 chip, announcing a bet of what sounded like 4,100.
Franchi called the bet, prompting the two to show down their hands. Monfort confidently rolled over 
for a full house of jacks full of sevens. Franchi mucked his cards and Monfort was pushed a pot that brought his stack up to 59,500.

David Pecheur opened before the flop and Matti Konttinen from Finland made the call from the hijack. Josy Laurent Benhayoun in the small blind pushed all in for 3,450 and his neighbor Viacheslav Goryachev in the big blind cold called. Pecheur and Konttinen made the call as well and the four of them were to see a flop.
Everyone checked on 
and so the 
on the turn was for free. Action checked to Konttinen and he bet out 5,025. Both Goryachev and Pecheur folded and Kontinnen showed 
for the turned set.
Goryachev wasn't drawing dead just yet though, with 
he had some split pot and full house outs. Neither would come with the 
and the tournament lost another player.

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.

The

We arrived in time to find Anton Wigg, Andrew Leathem, and David Balazuc looking down at a board of 
. Wigg had first action and he led out into the middle for 3,800. Leathem called and action fell over to Balazuc in late position. He announced a raise all in for his last 12,350 total.
Wigg went into the tank for right around 90 seconds before ultimately opting to kick his cards into the muck. Suddenly the action was back on Leathem and after a moment of pondering he flung out calling chips.
Leathem: 
Balazuc: 
Balazuc was in a dominating position with his flopped full house of tens full of sevens. The river completed the board with the

We saw German player Robert Auer move away from the table, and with no chips at his former spot at the table, we got the message quite clear that he wasn't going for a smoking break.
Javier Rodriguez told us that a player had opened to 700 and that Auer had made the call. Rodriguez squeezed to 2,300 and the initial raiser folded. Auer now shoved all in for about 7,000 and Rodriguez made the call holding 
.
Auer had
