With a slight delay, cards are in the air on Day 1b of the EAPT Bratislava Main Event.
Benjamin Lakatos opened to 600 from the button, and he was called by both players in the blinds.
The flop came 5♠4♣K♠, but all three of them checked.
On the turn J♠, the blinds checked again to Lakatos, who bet 1,800. Attila Meszaros in the small blind folded, and after a few seconds, Antal Mezei in the big blind folded as well.

After Szymon Bujok opened to 600 from the hijack, Lior Sahar in the cutoff shoved for 4,000. All the other players folded to Bujok, who called.
Lior Sahar: 3♥3♣
Szymon Bujok: K♦Q♣
On a flop of A♣5♠7♣, Sahar was on his way to double up. But the Q♥ landed on the turn, so he was eliminated after the river 7♠.
Sahar is the second player eliminated of the day after Yehuda Yosef, who reentered.

Matteo Spozio raised to 700 from under the gun, then Yaron Borenstein on the button called, as well as Laszlo Papai and Alen Rizvani in the blinds.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♥4♥K♣, and everybody checked to Borenstein, who bet 2,100. Rizvani in the big blind was the only one to call.
Both players checked on the turn 8♣. But on the river 2♠, after Rizvani checked again, Borenstein bet 6,000. Rizvani folded and saw the pot going in Borenstein's direction.

Four-way on a flop of 3♥2♥J♣, Konstantinos Giannoutas in the big blind, Benjamin Lakatos in the hijack and Attila Meszaros in the cutoff folded to Antal Mezei on the button, who bet 1,100. Giannoutas was the only one to call.
On the turn 10♦, Giannoutas checked and Mezei checked back. There was no more action on the river J♥, as both players checked again.
Giannoutas then revealed K♥2♦ for a two pair, but Mezei with K♣3♣ had a better hand and scooped the pot.
