The players have been sent into their first 20-minute break and the black T-100 chips are raced off before the levels switch to 60 minutes upon return. Within the first three levels, 54 players were eliminated.
Hassan Lamzariki and Kuljinder Sidhu got involved in a raising war preflop and the Brit jammed on his opponent for effectively 82,000 chips. Lamzariki called with 
and was crying "noooo" after the 
flop, as Sidhu had improved with 
.
However, the 
turn and 
river delivered a four-card flush for Lamzariki and he sat back down.
After a four-way flop of 
, the action checked to Matas Cimbolas and the Lithuanian bet 8,000. Only the opponent from one seat over called and Cimbolas then check-folded the 
turn to an all in of around 35,000 chips.
After a raise to 5,000 by Shahriar Soltaninassab, Isbael Baltazar moved all in for 20,000 with pocket sevens and was called by the initial raiser with pocket threes. The comeback was halted by a three on the flop and Baltazar was done for the day.
Joining the action on the turn of a 
board, Gabriel Jimenez led for 17,000. Miroslav Alilovic, fellow big stack from one seat over, grabbed a stack of T-5,000 chips and squeezed to 40,000. Jimenez didn't waste much time before mucking his cards, but is still up fairly decent for the day.
Rebecca Gerin played until the early morning hours and ultimately finished second in the Pot Limit Omaha Ring Event. Back at the tables she finds herself seated with Isabel Baltazar and they share the short stack. Anthony Rodrigues is another familiar face to grind a short stack. Will it pay off for the trio?
The below players have all been running out of chips entirely. As biggest surprise comes the elimination of Masbah Ben Baba, who started among the bigger stacks around 100 big blinds into Day 2.
Ben Warrington and Juan Riera had already tangled in a pot not long ago and seem to know each other from the poker tables. The Brit was down to 20 big blinds and got those in with 
. Riera held 
and spiked an ace on the turn to claim the pot.
Level: 15
Blinds: 1,200/2,400

Manuel Makiadi is the new chip leader after winning three big pots in a row, eliminating Guillaume Darcourt and Julien Sitbon as a result. In the first hand, Makiadi three-bet with 
and flopped a straight. Darcourt paid off two barrels on an eight-high board with 
and lost more than half his stack.
Then, Julien Sitbon raised to 4,000 and called the three-bet of Makiadi to 12,000, heading to a jack-high flop. Sitbon shoved with pocket nines and Makiadi scored the knockout with pocket aces.
Fast forward a few more minutes and Makiadi raised with 
and received three callers to see a flop of 
. Darcourt put the remainder on his stack into but no more diamond showed up.
