In a blind versus blind situation, the board showed 4♠3♠K♥2♣ a Spanish player went all-in and Yiu Yi Shing called.
All-in player: 4♣3♣ for two pairs
Yi Shing: Q♦Q♥
But Yi Shing improved on the river K♠ and eliminated his opponent to climb to 250,000 just before the dinner break.
Down to a few big blinds left, Rainer Kempe was at risk on a flop Q♣8♣8♦.
Kempe: J♣3♣
Opponent: 10♥10♦
The turn 10♠ and the river 2♣ gave a flush to Kempe but it was useless against a full house.
A 60-minute dinner break is scheduled at the end of the level (around 8.30 p.m.).

He found an hero call with second pair, good enough to eliminate one player and climb to 280,000 chips.
In the mean time, we lost Marrakech regular Javier Tsunamy.
There is still around 50 players in contention in this Day 1a and Day 1b Fast with 25-minute levels just started in the opposite part of the poker room.
