The 210 players of Day 1b are now on a 60-minute dinner break.
Moments before the break, Vincent Comesse in the big blind was all-in and at risk for 77,000 against Aliosha Staes in the hijack.
Vincent Comesse: K♣Q♣
Aliosha Staes: 9♠9♥
Comesse hit two pairs on a board of K♦4♦5♣7♠Q♥ and doubled up.
The action was picked up on a board of 2♦6♦Q♦3♣ with 81,000 in the pot after Felisberto De Jesus Silva in the big blind raised to 85,000. Azzedine Khairani in the hijack moved all-in for 173,500 so De Jesus Silva went deep into the tank. He eventually made the call.
Azzedine Khairani: A♦9♦
Felisberto De Jesus Silva: K♠K♣
Khairani flopped the nut flush to crack kings. "It's my first tournament in five years," he said while the dealer was revealing the 7♦ river, which allowed Khairani to double up.
