There was a lot commotion on table 9. The floor was called over a couple of players and railbirds rushed to the table and in the end a lot of people gathered around table 9.
Actually, it wasn't really a big deal. The Lebanese player Bejjani Kamal had acted out of turn with a 6,000-bet on the river. The board was and I should have been up to Bulgarian Petar Petrov to make a move first.
Since Kamal already threw in his bet, Petrov opted to call the 6,000. Kamal thought he could withdraw his 6,000 because the action changed and did so while throwing his hand in the muck.
The floor came over and ruled that the 6,000-bet still stood because the action was heads-up so Petrov was allowed to opt for a call. It would have been different if it was a multi-way pot.
The biggest problem was, that Kamal and Petrov didn't really understand what was happening. So some friends came over to translate and in the end, everything was okay.
Kamal got his hand back and showed , which wasn't good enough against Petrov's .
There was a preflop raising war, that ended with a 7,500 raise from Andras Nemeth. Walter Treccarichi was his only caller.
Both checked the on the flop and turn. The fell on the river and Nemeth fired a bet of 11,400. That was enough to make Treccarichi fold and the Hungarian is almost at 50,000 now.
The action started rather slow, but suddenly the eliminations came in at a decent pace. Among those to join the rail were Andreas Hoivold, Julian Track, Jan Bendik and Rasmus Agerskov. Leonardo Pires had doubled up early, but he also ran out of chips as well.
Defending champion Niall Farrell had a rather slow start into Day 1b and his new table hasn't seen much action of the Scotsman yet.

The Dutchman checked, Wysocki bet 3,600 and van Eck took a long time before check-raising to 19,000 with another 1,000 behind. Wysocki folded and dropped to around starting stack.
Mikolaj Zawadzki opened the pot and Erwann Pecheux quickly called. After that, Krzysztof Stuchlik raised to 2,500 and Anton Morgenstern cold-called that three-bet.
It was back to Zawadzki who moved out of the way. Pecheux wasn't planning to fold and threw in a four-bet to 8,600. Stuchlik thought about it for a while and folded. Morgenstern needed a lot less time to do the same.
Pecheux let out a sigh of relief and showed the . "That wasn't even a good spot to four-bet", Zawadzki claimed. "It was good spot for me, not for you."
Pecheux seemed to disagree, but Zawadzki kept going on about the hand. "You called my raise so fast, you could not be strong there."
Pecheux let it all go, while he was stacking his chips.
With 3,800 in the middle and three players seeing a flop of , Kitty Kuo bet 2,300. There was a call from the player two seats over and Cristian Oroitz Egues Juanena then raised for another 4,550 on top. Kuo tanked for a long time and folded, the third player in the hand as well.

Kees van Brugge raised to 725 and Dietrich Fast called in the small blind. On the flop, Fast check-called a bet of 1,150 and then faced another bet of 2,650 on the turn. This time, Fast folded and van Brugge claimed the pot. Both players have more than 50,000 while early leader Alexander Ivarsson has dropped back to starting stack.
There was around 6,000 in the middle and Javier Gomez Zapatero slid out an 8,000-overbet on the river. The board was and the decision was by Miroslav Forman.
He took a while and in the end he got some payback you could say. Forman called the clock on Dominik Panka some moments ago and now Zapatero called the clock on Forman.
Forman didn't waste much more time before folding.
After picking up a pot with flush versus flush, Sarah Herzali has increased her stack further. The latest hand saw her faced with an open-raise to 700 and Herzali three-bet to 2,000 in the cutoff. Her opponent called and the flop came . Both players checked and the fell on the turn.
