On a board of A♥10♥2♥A♣, there were around 40,000 chips in the middle when it checked to Parahat Nurmuhammedov in the cutoff, who fired 20,000. Amine Daher was next to act on the button and he shoved for just shy of 220,000, which got a player in the blinds to fold.
Ankit Ahuja was sitting in middle position and with around 240,000 in his stack, he had a decision. After using up a time bank, Ahuja called, and Nurmuhammedov quickly folded.
Amine Daher: K♥J♠
Ankit Ahuja: A♠Q♠
Ahuja had the best of it with trips and just needed to fade the flush draw of Daher. The river was red, but the K♦ wasn't of any use to Daher, meaning he was eliminated.
Ahuja with over half a milly now!

Ehsan Amiri and Jakub Michalak are still going in Day 1b and just played out a pot together.
The board read 4♥9♣5♦6♦ and with around 30,000 in the middle, Amiri decided to go with a pot-sized bet of 32,000 from the big blind. Michalak was on the button and needed some extra time before he could make a decision, but eventually did let it go.

Artsiom Panasiuk raised from under the gun and Ramin Gasanov shoved from the next seat for 54,000. The player in middle position then made it 120,000, and when it got back to Panasiuk, he called off the rest of his stack of a little less than the four-bet.
Ramin Gasanov: A♠Q♠
Artsiom Panasiuk: A♣K♥
Middle Position: A♥Q♥
Panasiuk had the upper hand with Big Slick and was helped by the fact that his two opponents shared the same hand. A flop of 6♠5♦4♦ was safe for Panasiuk but Gasanov found some hope on the 9♠ turn as he picked up a flush draw.
However, the 5♣ river was anti-climatic as Panasiuk's hand held on, more than doubling him up and ending Gasanov's run.
