Mehdi Hsissen raised to 10,000 under the gun, Najib Bennis moved all in for 100,000 in the small blind, and Hsissen called.
Najib Bennis: Q♣10♥ 
Mehdi Hsissen: K♦K♥
Bennis had run into Hsissen's kings and found no miracles on the 8♣8♥2♥J♦4♠ board as he was sent to the rail.
With around 80,000 in the pot on a board of 6♥J♥A♦10♠, Said El Yousfi bet 35,000 from the hijack and Alejandro Ganivet called on the button.
El Yousfi slowed down and checked the 5♣ river, and Ganivet quickly slid forward a tower of chips and announced all in.
El Yousfi had around 160,000 remaining and went deep into the tank. Several minutes went by before he took off his sunglasses and stood up from the table to continue his deliberation. He eventually sat back down, looked over at Ganivet, and tossed his cards into the muck.
Ali Alawadhi moved all in for 80,000 from the small blind and Mounir Tajiou called in the cutoff.
Ali Alawadhi: 7♠7♦
Mounir Tajiou: A♥Q♠
Alawadhi was racing for his tournament life but fell behind on the A♣Q♥4♦ flop as Tajiou hit two pair. The rest of the board ran out J♣6♥ and Alawadhi was sent to the rail.
Shortly after busting Walaa Sima, Benjamin Hammann himself moved all in for 70,000 from the big blind as Anas Tadini called in early position.
Benjamin Hammann: 8♦8♣
Anas Tadini: 10♥10♠
Hammann found himself dominated by Tadini's bigger pocket pair and received no help on the 4♠Q♥6♠K♠5♠ board as Tadini improved to a flush to send Hammann to the rail.
Defending champion Orey Canarinho was also eliminated in the early stages of Day 2.
Walaa Sima had doubled up another opponent when Thierry Gognat's 3♠3♦ had made a flush on a board of 10♠A♠7♠9♠10♥ to crack Sima's K♦K♣.
A few hands later, Benjamin Hammann raised to 10,000 in early position, Sima moved all in for his last 40,000 in middle position, and Hammann called.
Walaa Sima: 10♠10♥
Benjamin Hammann: K♠J♥
The K♥J♦Q♥ flop gave Hammann top pair, while Sima picked up a straight draw. The turn was the 7♠, while Hammann improved to a full house on the K♣ river to send Sima to the rail.
On the first hand of Day 2, Nicolas Noguera moved all in for 56,000 from the small blind and Walaa Sima put him at risk in middle position.
Nicolas Noguera: A♠Q♣
Walaa Sima: K♥J♥
Noguera hit top pair on the A♦4♥6♦ flop to take a big lead in the pot, while the rest of the board ran out 8♠K♦ to earn him an early double up.
