Bianca Jacob was all-in for the last 58,000 preflop and received two callers in Krzysztof Magott and Orhan Sen. The flop brought the bet worth 15,000 by Sen and he then called all-in for the 20,000 he had behind when Magott raised.
Bianca Jacob:
Orhan Sen:
Krzysztof Magott:
"Oh wow, I am behind," Magott said and another player immediately joked "that's a first," which brought a smile to Jacob's face. The turn propelled Magott into the lead but Sen improved to a flush thanks to the river.
"Finally," Jacobs said as she was eliminated in 25th place. The remaining 24 players will now redraw to three tables and there are just shy of 19 minutes left in level 17.
Dario Alioto raised to 20,000 and Alfredo Vega Meister then reraised the pot to 69,000.
"Are you nuts?" Serok Kilic in the big blind sighed, then called. "I either get a stack for Day 2 or try again tomorrow," Vega Meister replied.
Alioto called all-in for 42,000 and the flop fell . Kilic check-called the shove of Vega Meister for 89,000 to create the following three-way showdown.
Dario Alioto:
Alfredo Vega Meister:
Serok Kilic:
The turn and river completed the board as Kilic jumped out of his seat in loud celebration. "Jesus Christ," the dealer exclaimed but Vega Meister quickly pointed out he had made a wheel to win the pot while Alioto was eliminated.

Alongside a big field on Day 1b of the Event #1: €350 NLH Opener, the second tournament of the series kicked off as well. The first of two starting days of Event #2: €550 Pot-Limit Omaha attracted a field of 199 entries, consisting of 132 unique players and 67 re-entries.
Upon completion of 18 levels of 30 minutes each, only 19 players bagged chips for the night with Orhan Sen (494,000) holding a narrow lead over Luc Ramos (490,000). Close behind are also Anders Auset (463,000) and Karol Bogusz (462,000).

Notables who advanced to Day 2 with a secured shot at the guaranteed prize pool of €200,000 are Serok Kilic, Jaroslav Peter, Vlado Sevo, Jelka Andelic, Vasileios Tsaknis, and Yves Kupfermunz. Another 11 players cashed for at least €917 as the top 30 spots locked up a portion of the prize pool already.
Krzysztof Magott
Magott re-entered just before the end of the late registration and seemed nearly unstoppable on his way to the top of the leaderboard. However, he lost a bigger pot in the final hands of the night to concede the top spot. During the same period, Orhan Sen claimed several pots in quick succession to finish at the top of the chip counts on Day 1a.
Luc Ramos was involved in an all-in showdown on the Day 1a money bubble to end up with a big stack. Shortly after, Miha Pirsic was eliminated on the stone-cold bubble. Notables who cashed but came up short of making Day 2 were Hen Rosilio, Bjorn Verbakel, and Dario Alioto.
