Double Knockout as Blagojevic and Forster Bubble

Simon Forster jammed for 60,000 from early position and was called by Terje Bremseth in the big blind.

Simon Forster: A♥K♣ All in
Terje Bremseth: 8♦3♦

Forster was ahead, but the eight was in the window on the 8♣4♦2♥ flop, and it was followed by the 8♠ on the turn to leave Forster drawing dead, the 2♣ river completing the board.

At the other table, a pot of around 120,000 had developed on a board of K♥Q♥10♦2♣, and Vladan Blagojevic was all-in for 130,000 and at risk versus Oliver De Bono.

Vladan Blagojevic: Q♣10♣ All in
Oliver De Bono: K♠9♣

Blagojevic was ahead with middle two pair versus De Bono's top pair, but the 2♦ hit on the river in cruel fashion to pair the board and give De Bono the superior two pair.

As a result of the double knockout, only 13 players progress to Day 2, and each have locked up a minimum cash of €600.
