Daniel Kvesic opened to 1,800 from the cutoff and was called by Kuljinder Sidhu in the small blind and Santhosh Suvarna in the big blind.
Everyone checked on the J♣4♥3♦ flop and action checked to Kvesic on the A♦ turn. Kvesic bet 2,000 and Sidhu called. Suvarna then check-raised to 8,000, which got a fold from Kvesic, but a call from Sidhu.
The 7♥ completed the board and Sidhu check-folded facing a 9,000 bet from Suvarna.
"Flush draw," Sidhu said as Suvarna collected the pot.

Vlado Banicevic raised to 1,800 from under the gun and Martin Ryan called from the hijack. Nikola Minkov then also joined in from the cutoff before Andrei Boghean three-bet to 10,000 chips from the small blind. All three players made the call, sending the quartet off to a flop of A♠5♥8♦.
Boghean continued for 8,200 and Banicevic was the only caller, as Ryan and Minkov got out of the way. Boghean then slowed down and checked the 7♣ turn, after which Banicevic bet out 16,500.
Boghean made the call and both players checked the subsequent 2♠ river. Boghean showed his A♦Q♠ and Banicevic quickly flashed his AxJx before sending it in the muck and forfeiting the big pot to Boghean.

Narcis Nedelcu and Fabian Schmidt were heads-up on a flop of 4♠4♦2♦ when Schmidt bet 6,500 from the cutoff. Nedelcu then moved all in and Schmidt tossed in his last 15,000.
Fabian Schmidt: Q♥Q♣
Narcis Nedelcu: 8♣4♣
Schmidt had found a hand to get his short-stack in the middle with, but Nedelcu had flopped trips and left him needing help to avoid elimination. The board ran out 9♦A♥ and Schmidt couldn't improve as he was sent to the rail.

Santhosh Suvarna and Kuljinder Sidhu went to the river on a board of 6♠Q♣6♣J♥10♠ with around 22,000 in the middle.
Suvarna, on the button, then bet 24,000 and Sidhu gave it some thought from the hijack before calling. Suvarna turned over Q♠10♦ for two pair and Sidhu mucked to award the pot to the €50,000 High Roller bracelet winner.

So far, It hasn't been smooth sailing for Nick Palma in Day 1b of the WSOP Europe Main Event. The American was down to 15,700 and had self-admittedly not won a pot all day.
His fortune looked to be changing after he opened to 1,600 from the cutoff and was called by Levan Rcheulishvili from the big blind.
Rcheulishvili check-called for 2,000 on the Q♥J♥3♥ flop which brought in the 9♠ turn. Rcheulishvili checked again and Palma moved all in for 12,100. Rcheulishvili thought it over for a few moments and called.
Nick Palma: A♣Q♣
Levan Rcheulishvili: Q♦2♣
Palma had the superior pair of queens and remained best after the 9♥ river to double up.

Jan Wieckenberg and Nicola Danselmo had gotten into a blind-on-blind battle and created a 20,100 chip pot in the process. The board was dealt up until the turn and read J♥2♠8♠3♦ when Wieckenberg checked from the small blind and called the subsequent 10,000 bet of Danselmo.
The 4♦ river then rolled off and Wieckenberg checked once more. Danselmo opted for a sizing of 16,400 chips this time and Wieckenberg slammed in the call after some deliberation.
Danselmo showed K♣J♣ for top pair and Wieckenber nodded in acknowledgement before sending his cards to the muck.

Kunze slowed down and checked, and Cintula didn't waste much time before tossing out 50,800. Kunze immediately folded.
