Elusive Field Emerges on Day 1B
Yiannis Liperis, Sergio Castelluccio, David Peters, Ioannis-Angelou Konstas, Darryll Fish and Ali Reza Fatehi were all part of Day 1B but eventually bowed out before the second break at the end of level six emerged. Some hot shots and big names that were gaining ground include MILLIONS Germany champion Viktor "Isildur1" Blom, who moved up to 2.2 million and aims for back-to-back victories.
Mustapha Kanit played for roughly two levels before he ran out of chips and was joined on the rail by Juha Helppi, Franz-Xaver Ditz, Mikalai Vaskaboinikau.
Team partypoker's Philipp Gruissem was facing a decision for his tournament life on the river of a paired six-high board. He eventually called with ace.king high and his opponent tabled only 
for the inferior kicker. That sent Gruissem's stack up to 2.3 million, just above the average with 80 of 145 players remaining. Compared to Day 1A, the casualties still come at a slower place, though.
