Mykhailo Lendel: 9♥9♦ 
Oliver Simon: 6♠6♦
Lendel had Simon dominated going to the flop and took an even bigger lead on 9♠5♦3♠ with a set. The 5♣ turn improved him to a full house, and the 5♥ completed the board on the river to earn him the double up.
Day 1a chip leader Alen Habib has yet to show up to play today as his stack gets blinded down.
