All participants receive 25,000 in chips with 18 levels of 30 minutes each in total scheduled for tonight, bagging and tagging will take place in the early morning hours.
The current chip leaders after six of the eight flights combined all come from Day 1F in Nico Mussini (918,000, Jan Bendik (812,000) and Rifat Gegic (712,000). They will return with more than or just shy of 100 big blinds for Day 2, as the action recommences with 19 minutes left in level 18 at blinds of 4,000/8,000 and a big blind ante of 8,000.

Rene Siry and Mordechai Cohen headed to a flop and somehow Cohen's was exposed with a bet of 1,500 in front. Siry grinned, gave it some thought and called. Both checked the turn and the fell on the river. Siry checked once more and Cohen bet 1,500, which was called.
Cohen rolled over the for a pair of kings and that won the pot.

On the heads-up flop of , Matous Skorepa was all in for just 4,900 and Matteo Martelli in the two seat tried to involve him in table chat. The Italian eventually called and Skorepa turned over the .
Martelli tabled and the board completed with the turn and river. Martelli celebrated vividly and then explained in table chat after he had not noticed he held a set of jacks. Skorepa's empty seat was soon after filled with Peter Siemund, who busted in the previous flight.
