Imran Bhojani raised to 10,000 from under the gun and Stephen Courtney called in the next seat, Janno Cazemier defended the big blind. The Q♠9♦9♥ flop was checked to Courtney, who bet 13,000. Cazemier folded whereas Bhojani opted to call.

On the 3♣ turn, Bhojani checked and Courtney bet 30,000 with around 70,000 behind. Bhojani check-raised to 110,000 and Courtney instantly grabbed two of his time bank extensions, then tossed them to the dealer.

Ultimately, Courtney called it off and was at risk.

Stephen Courtney: K♠Q♥ All in
Imran Bhojani: J♣9♠

Courtney was on thin ice, needing a queen to survive, but the 6♠ river ended his run at the end of Day 1b, securing all other 14 players the spot on Day 2.

Johan De Graaff raised to 30,000 from under the gun and Kinesh Pather then pushed all-in from the next seat for around 130,000. Lukman A went into a brief tank in the next seat but went all-in over the top. Everyone folded and De Graaff also let go.

Kinesh Pather: J♠J♦ All in
Lukman A: K♦K♣

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Lukman A raised to 16,000 and was called by Nic Ioannoy in the cutoff. Henk Wiese then got his shorter stack of around 50,000 in from the big blind and Lukman A reraised to force out Ioannoy, who mucked the Q♣J♠.

Henk Wiese: 5♠5♥ All in
Lukman A: A♦Q♠

The 10♦10♣8♥ flop gave Lukman A additional outs and he then improved with the Q♥ turn. Down to just two outs, Wiese couldn't escape anymore with the blank K♣ river and departed a few spots away from securing a spot on Day 2.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sugen Singh raised and then folded to the shoves by Fabio Cornelli and Janno Cazemier with the former at risk.

Fabio Cornelli: A♣Q♦ All in
Janno Cazemier: A♥K♠

The 6♣5♣4♦ flop changed nothing but Cornelli had running clubs at his disposal. Instead, he was drawing dead on the K♦ turn to make the 8♥ river a formality.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

On the heads-up turn of K♥8♦5♣A♠, Imran Bhojani bet 6,000 from an early position and then folded to a raise worth 16,000 by Edgar Antezana in the next seat.

Bhojani tabled the A♠J♣ for two pair and Singh sighed, then exposed his K♦Q♥ from near the muck.

In the meanwhile, Chandra Deib lost the battle with her severe short stack and the field was reduced to 19 players.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

After the most recent setback, Giovanni Zanette was back down to the starting stack and soon after all-in against NT.

NT: A♣8♣

The kicker played on the [6c3d2d1hJs] runout and that spelled the end for Zanette. Soon after, Muddassir Ameer disappeared from the feature table and that brought the flight down to the last 22 contenders.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

With some 45,000 in the middle to the A♠A♣2♥ flop, Hennie Appel in the small blind got his shorter stack into the middle and was up against Imran Bhojani on the button.

Hennie Appel: A♦3♣ All in
Imran Bhojani: A♥7♥

A chop was possible but unlikely once the 7♣ fell on the turn. The river was the 10♥ and Appel was gone.
