Day 1f obtained a huge total of 336 entrants, meaning play will conclude at 50 players. There are currently 132 players seated.
The final starting flight, turbo flight Day 1g, has just kicked off with 44 players seated. The flight features 20-minute levels, with late registration closing before the start of Level 11.
The cards were just being swept away, but Carsten Mawick had just eliminated Oleg Drews and Tommaso Marangi, holding queens and ace-king respectively, with pocket eights - flopping a set on a board that also featured an ace, with the money presumably going in preflop.
Mawick moves to 750,000 - might he be the player to catch Ludovic Uzan at the top of the Day 2 standings? He'll have to double his stack from here to do so.

Giovanni Caggia opened to 6,000 from the button, and was met with a three-bet to 21,500 by Charlie Rimmer in the small blind. Action back to Caggia, who called.
Rimmer continued with a bet of 18,000 on the K♠7♠6♥ flop, and Caggia called.
The 2♠ hit on the river, and Rimmer fired again, putting out a bet of 25,000. Caggia again quickly called.
The 2♣ river paired the board, and Rimmer went for the triple-barrel, sliding out a bet of 50,000. Caggia called promptly, but was shown the bad news when Rimmer tabled A♥K♣ for top pair kings, forcing Caggia to muck.

Raimund Longbottom: 9♣7♣
Giuseppe Dedoni: A♦10♦
Longbottom needed some help, and he got it as he smashed the Q♣7♥7♦ flop, the K♥ turn and 5♣ river completing the runout.

Jordan Bamford is on his third bullet in this flight, but it could be third time lucky. He is up to 295,000 after busting Salvatore Genovese - Bamford held K♦K♠ on the 10♣6♠10♦J♣5♣ runout, while Genovese had K♥J♦, the chips going in preflop.

Massimo Arigo jammed from middle position for 36,000 and was looked up by Lorenzo Pannunzi in the big blind.
Massimo Arigo: 7♦7♣
Lorenzo Pannunzi: K♣Q♠
It was off to the races, but Arigo flopped top set on the 7♠6♠2♦ flop. It still wasn't sweat free from there, as his opponent turned a flush draw with the J♠ turn.
Much to Arigo's relief, the 5♦ river was a brick, sending him the double-up.
