The board read 
and the pot contained about 6,000 in it. Jon Garde, sitting in the small blind checked and Mateusz Moolhuizen, in the big blind, bet 4,300. Garde looked at the board again, then at the pot, then at his own chips and eventually decided to fold.

Gaelle Baumann couldn't be found at her table any more but another blogger was kind enough to tell us what had happened.
Thierry Delpui raised to 2,600 from the under-the-gun position, Baumann raised to 7,000 from the cutoff. The player on the button called but Delpui shoved for 31,600 in total. Baumann called and the button folded.

The tournament clock currently shows that there are 70 players left out of the 155 entries for Day 1a. There were 18 reentries so that means that there were 137 unique players for today. The tournament needs to get 357 entries tomorrow on Day 1b to break last years record of 511 entries.
Hannes Neurauter walked past to tell the team that he was eliminated just a few minutes ago:
"The player (seat 2) in mid-position limped in, the player in seat 4, with a big stack, isolated to 3,600 and I jammed all in for 23,000 in total with 
. The limper folded and the isolator called with 
. The flop came 
, actually I think it was 
."
Barny Boatman was seated at the same table earlier but he has left the field for today too. It is expected that he will be back tomorrow as will Neurauter.

The pot looked to contain around 10,000 already and three players were in the hand when the 
flop was dealt. Christopher Chaudey, in early position, bet 3,700. Michel Leibgorin, in mid-position, called. Manuel Ruivo, on the button, raised to 14,500. Both Chaudey and Leibgorin called.
The turn brought them the 
, now both Chaudey and Leibgorin checked. Ruivo bet 25,500 which sent Chaudey into the tank. He kept looking at the cards, his chips, and the board and to the stacks of his opponents. In the end, he reluctantly folded. Leibgorin folded immediately too. When Chaudey saw that, he was visibly upset with the decision he had made.
"Show the bluff!" another player at the table said to Ruivo, but Ruivo didn't show anything.
