Benedikt Scheiber bet the pot on the turn and the river was checked. Scheiber rolled over the for top set and Stefano Moi flashed for an inferior set and busted straight draw.
On the river of a completed board of , Helmut Schott made it 10,000 to go and Jan-Peter Jachtmann reluctantly called with the words "good bet or good call?"
Jachtmann had for a straight and Schott only for two pair.
"Good call," Schott conceded and dropped below the starting stack.
Rein Die Steine very much stuck to the literal translation of his nickname and got his "stones" aka chips in, however, came up second-best and was among the early casualties on Day 1b. Athanasios Karras was also eliminated soon after losing a big portion of his stack without showdown and opted to re-enter shortly after.
After their previous tangle in a smaller pot, Karl Schedlberger and Athanasios Karras met once again and this time by far more chips went into the middle.
The completed board showed and Karras check-raised from 25,000 to 50,000. Schedlinger quickly pushed all in and that stunned Karras. "Do you have quads?" he asked and got no immediate answer.
Eventually, Schedlberger joined the conversation and asked his opponent whether or not he had ace-ten or ace-jack. Karras took another half a minute of consideration and folded.
Athanasios Karras reraised the pot to 4,400 and picked up a single caller in Karl Schedlberger to see the flop. Schedlberger opted for a bet of 6,500 and Karras shook his head, then sent his cards into the muck with the remark "I had aces, bad aces."
Schedlberger flashed queens with a gutshot straight draw before raking in the pot.
Preflop 1,000 chips went in between Jan-Peter Jachtmann, Karlos and Alexandre Viard and that created a pot of 3,400 to the flop. Jachtmann checked and Karlos bet the pot, Viard called and Jachtmann came along.
The turn was checked and Jachtmann bet the river for 10,500, which resulted in a fold from Karlos and a call from Viard. Jachtmann tabled the for the nut straight and claimed the pot.
The Big Wrap seems to be very popular among Scandinavian poker players as several Danes were in action on Day 1a. A few Swedes also took part and Alexander Norden just re-entered while fellow countrymen Oskar Silow and Elvis Topuz joined the action, too.
Half-way through the second level of the day, the field shows 83 entries and 82 players remaining.
In a three-way pot with around 4,000 in the middle, the river was checked through and Lukas Zaskodny first to show, revealing for a pair of queens and busted flushdraw. His first opponent folded but Rein Die Steine had that beat with aces.
