Both Team Winamax Pro Davidi Kitai and defending Winamax Poker Open champion Antonin Teisseire are back in the field today after busting yesterday in Day 1A.
Also doing well and up over 100,000 is Matej Zavacky and Pierre Lecomte.
A player was all in for only 6,000 holding but was up against the of Gael Illan.
The flop came and the all-in player looked like he was going to be sticking around a while longer. The turn was the giving him a full house. However the river was another four, the giving Illan a bigger full house.
The all-in player stood in shock before standing and leaving, shaking hands with Illan on his way to the exit.
Team Winamax Pro Sylvain Loosli is back in action today, and has taken to Twitter to sound out his intentions ahead of Day 1B.
Yesterday Loosli lost against the of Liam O'Donoghue, which saw O'Donoghue's stack soar and Loosli bust. O'Donoghue eventually finished second in chips behind Winamax Team Pro Bruno Lopes, while Loosli is back to give it another spin today.

We saw earlier Erwann Pecheux take to Twitter to perhaps bemoan his seating draw here on Day 1B of the Winamax Poker Open Dublin Main Event.
Translated: "Little €550 tournament. And I'm paying a genius to my left, as well as at least two regs. That's a lot on a table of six. Good luck me!"
