Luc Greenwood defended his big blind against a raise by Ramon Miquel Munoz and check-called a bet on the 
flop to leave himself around 8,000 behind to the 
turn. Greenwood checked and Miquel Munoz bet 10,000.
After some consideration, Greenwood called and found himself trailing with 
versus 
. The river was the blank 
and Greenwood was eliminated in the last level of Day 1a.
With under one hour to go, there have been a slew of eliminations since the last break. Of the bustouts listed below, Michael Soyza and Joao Simao have used their second and final bullets but all the others still have one re-entry available to use.
Robert Spano four-bet jammed his shorter stack and was snap-called by Thiago Signorelli Viana.
Robert Spano: 
Thiago Signorelli Viana: 
Spano flopped a queen, but unfortunately Signorelli Viana also spiked an ace to leave the Aussie with just one out after the 
flop. The 
turn and 
river brought no miracle and Spano headed to rail Sam Higgs in the €1,100 French Poker Championship.
Nível: 10
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
Theodore McQuilkin raised and picked up a single caller in Darie Vlad from one seat over. On the 
flop, McQuilkin checked and Vlad bet 5,700. McQuilkin opted for a check-raise to 20,200 and Vlad came along.
After the turn, McQuilkin bet big for 55,000 and forced a reluctant fold from his opponent. Further notables on the same table can be found below.
It was a three-way battle between the button and the blinds. Julien Martini opened to 3,000 and Dominykas Karmazinas three-bet to 14,500 in the small blind, before Ryan Riess cold four-bet all in for a total of 59,600. Martini passed and Karmazinas asked for a count before tank-folding.
Riess offered to show one card the 
was turned over. "They were both the same" said Ludovic Geilich as Riess collected the pot.
Xia Lin raised to 2,200 and Ut Tam Vo called. Fady Kamar jammed for 16,000 and Lin reshoved to get Vo out of the hand, who folded 
face up.
Fady Kamar: 
Xia Lin: 
The board came 
and Kamar doubled with the six-high straight.
