Jakob Miegel: 8♥6♥ 
Ludovic Breau: A♥8♦
Breau dominated Miegel, but the 10♥10♦2♠6♦ saw Miegel take a big lead. The 8♣ river made Breau the best pair however, tens and eights with an ace kicker, and he eliminated Miegel late on Day 1b.

In a pot of 105,000 Alexey Losev pushed all in for 89,000 on a turn of 5♠2♥10♥7♠ from early position. Hassan Nashar in the cutoff asked for a count, which Losev understood as "call."
He was about to show his cards when the players and dealer stopped him, after which he decided that his mouth was a suitable place to store them instead.
"I just have ace-high," Nashar confessed. It mattered little, however, as he slammed in a call shortly after stating his hand.
Alexey Losev: K♣10♣
Hassan Nashar: A♠9♠
Nashar celebrated loudly as the 8♠ river made him his flush and he eliminated Losev shortly before the money.

Ionut Colciar had raised to 20,000 in the cutoff when Pingfeng Wu three-bet all in for 99,000. Colciar sighed for a few moments before he decided to put in a call with the covering stack.
Pingfeng Wu: A♦Q♣
Ionut Colciar: A♣J♥
The board ran out an uneventful 9♠5♦2♣7♥10♣, doubling up Wu with his ace-queen high.

Tian Hao Zheng jammed his final 50,000 or so under the gun and was snap called by Hugo Machado in the big blind.
Tian Hao Zheng: K♣Q♦
Hugo Machado: A♠K♥
The J♦3♦7♥9♦ turn had Zhen asking for a diamond, but it did not come in on the J♥ river and he took his leave.
In a short span after the hand, four other players busted to bring the field to 64.

Grzegorz Popiolek opened for 16,000 in early position and was called by Malcolm McKinlay in middle position. Dimitrios Gkatzas then jammed all in for 66,000 in the hijack and was called by Popiolek.
Dimitrios Gkatzas: J♥J♣
Grzegorz Popiolek: A♠Q♦
With live commentary by Hassan Nashar, the 5♥9♦A♥ flop saw Popiolek shoot ahead in the flop. The 6♦ turn and 4♣ river could not save Gkatzas as he was the first player to depart during hand-for-hand.
