Heads-up to the 
river, Patrick Beuter bet 5,900 and Robin Peebles then raised to 12,500. Beuter wasted little time before moving all-in and that sent Peebles into the tank. Ultimately, no call followed and Beuter increased his stack without showdown.

In the very first hand after sitting down, Terry Jordon got his starting stack into the middle. The same also applied for Jordan Bamford, who was covered by a few big blinds only.
Jordan Bamford:

The 
flop vaulted Bamford into a commanding lead and he only needed to avoid running cards. It was all over on the 
turn and the 
river was a formality. Bamford doubled for 28,200 to leave Jordon with fumes, which then went in preflop the next hand.
One of Jordon's callers was Dean Clay, who bet the 
flop to isolate.

Three ways to the 
flop, a betting war broke out in which three players got their chips into the middle. Dritan Arapi was involved from the small blind, Rafael Navas Robles was in the big blind and Rafael Lloris had been the initial raiser from under the gun.

turn and 
river. Arapi as the shortest stack was eliminated and the 27,200 of Navas Robles also covered Lloris by a very small margin to score the double knockout.

Out of a field of 121 entries, 102 players remain and they have been sent into a scheduled break of 15 minutes.
On a heads-up flop of 
, Alex Goulder from under the gun and Gary Miller on the button invested 6,500 each. They headed to the 
turn on which Goulder splashed in all his remaining chips for more than 18,000. Miller eventually called all-in for fewer than that and the cards were tabled.
Gary Miller: 
Alex Goulder: 
The flush draw of Goulder bricked but the river gave him a superior pair to send Miller to the rail. With two entries down, he went straight to re-enter for the third and final bullet on Day 1a.
