When we came upon the table we found Jonas Lauck all in before the flop. Michael Malm tossed out a call and found out that he was a favorite to eliminate Lauck.
Lauck: 
Malm:
The board fell 
and Lauck was unable to improve. He was sent packing while Malm stacked up his newly attained chips. Malm is now sitting on about 390,000.
Whatever will be, will be. We recently reported that Joe Serock was the new chip lead but he has now relinquished that title after a bout with Darren Elias. We caught up to the action to see Serock and Elias engaged the final hand before their table broke. The board read 
and Elias pushed out 122,000 which was roughly a pot sized bet.
Serock sat contemplating his action in this massive pot for well over a minute. Eventually he dropped in calling chips and Elias tabled 
for a rivered set. Serock flung his cards into the muck one at a time and was forced to ship a solid portion of chips over to Elias' stack.
Elias is now sitting on about 775,000 while Serock has fallen to around 1.045 million.
Ashton Griffin finished Day 1b as the chip leader and established himself as a force in this tournament… that is until he was eliminated earlier today. Now there’s a new Griffin in town –Griffin “Flush_Entity” Benger, who just doubled through Nicolas Godoy.
We didn’t catch the hand, but Benger filled us in on the details. According to him, Godoy opened for 11,500 from the hijack and he three-bet to 26,000 from the button with 
. The blinds got out of the way, Godoy four-bet to 52,000, and Benger five-bet to 98,000. Godoy then moved all in and Benger snap-called off for 290,000. Godoy tabled , but he was left drawing dead after the flop fell 
. Griffin flopped a boat and doubled to nearly 600,000.

We just saw Manig Loeser eliminated two players within minutes to shoot up to 655,000 in chips.
In the first, Loeser held and was behind the of the at-risk Antonio Lafosse. The 
flop quickly changed that as Loeser paired his ten to take the lead. The 
turn meant Lafosse needed an ace on the river to stay alive, but this is not Team PokerStars Pro Barry Greenstein’s book and the 
blanked. With that, Lafosse made his way to the payout desk.
Less than two minutes later, Jan Veit was all in preflop holding 
and dominated by the 
of Loeser. The board ran out and Veit joined Lafosse on the rail while Loeser got busy stacking chips once again.
