There was some confusion about the preflop action and floor was called over before Kevin Ayow and Omar Lakhdari eventually called the shove of short stack Fazeel Munawar for 225,000. On the flop, Lakhdari bet 300,000 and Ayow called before the Frenchman immediately bet 1.0 million on the turn.
Ayow almost immediately moved all in and Lakhdari let out some swear words in French before sending his cards into the muck. "Do you have a straight?" Munawar asked and Ayow shook his head, turning over for a set. Munawar was crushed with for the inferior set and the miracle one outer never came, instead it was the river that ended the hand.
Ayow moved up to almost five times the starting stack.
The player in the under-the-gun position raised to 45,000 and both Milad Oghabian (cutoff) and Felipe Ramos (small blind) called.
The flop came and both Ramos and the under-the-gun player checked. Oghabian bet 57,000, Ramos shoved for around 300,000. The under-the-gun player folded and Oghabian called.
Felipe Ramos:
Milad Oghabian:
Ramos had flopped the nut straight and a flush draw, while Oghabian flopped a set of nines.
The rest of the board was completed with the on the turn and the on the river to improve Oghabian's set to a full house and eliminate Ramos from the tournament. Ramos won't reenter this flight. He said he was going for a short break and come back for Day 1d.
The flop read and both Sandro Pitzanti (big blind) and Philipp Gruissem (under-the-gun) checked.
They did the same with the on the turn.
The river completed the board with the on the river. Gruissem now check-folded to the 115,000 bet of Pitzanti. Pitzanti looked at his cards and decided to show for the flopped trip tens.

Kfir Ivgy is no longer seated and the stack of Vladimir Troyanovskiy has grown a lot. The Russian just took on Pedro Cairat as well and claimed a chunk of the Argentinian's stack to climb up even higher. On the tail end of a hand with Troyanovskiy on the button and Cairat in the small blind, the board showed and Cairat check-called a bet of 240,000.
Troyanovskiy rolled over for trips and raked in another big pot.
Guy Goossens just won a pretty big pot which takes him back to almost double the starting stack. He held on the board so he had hit a runner-runner flush.
