, Josef Gulas Jr in the big blind had bet 29,000 into 55,000. That was for essentially half of Kumar's stack and he wound up folding.

In a pot of 30,500 to the 
flop, Athanasios Kidas checked and Cristi Grecu bet 15,500. Kidas then jammed for massive 88,500 and Grecu was deep in the tank before calling it off with a near identical stack.
Athanasios Kidas: 
Cristi Grecu: 
Neither the 
turn nor the 
river changed anything and Grecu was left with fumes.

Ilija Savevski reached the final table of the 2021 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event for a six-figure payday and has been involved in the next WSOP-branded flagship tournament at King's once more. His fortune on Day 1a was non-existent since he busted but the Macedonian is now running up a stack on Day 1b.
Savevski just won a large pot by essentially jamming the 
river against Claudio Daffina. He pushed all his orange T-5,000 chips with little behind while in the big blind. Daffina on the button was in the tank for a while and tapped the table in defeat after some three minutes.

The cards were already on their backs on the 
flop and it was Fausto Tantillo at risk against Stanislaw Geibel.
Fausto Tantillo: 
Stanislaw Geibel: 
The 
turn took away an out for Tantillo and the 
river was a blank to let the kicker play. Moments later, Tantillo was back in on a different table thanks to the re-entry option.

Following an open raise to 2,500 and a three-bet to 8,000 by Christian Stoyanov, Karo Nuri four-bet jammed for what appeared to be more than 45,000. The initial raiser folded and Stoyanov eyeballed the stack of Nuri for a few seconds before calling.
Karo Nuri: 
Christian Stoyanov:
As soon as the cards were flipped over, you could see the disgust on Nuri's face. He left with his arms up after a 
board.
