Players have bagged and tagged for the end of Day 1d, with 77 players making it through the flight. Standby for the recap on PokerNews.
William Bowley moved all in under the gun for 8,000. John Billingham called, Jessica Pilkington called, John Farrell called, and Morris David called.
The flop came J♦J♠7♠. Action checked to Farrell, who bet 15,000. Billingham called and Pilkington called.
The turn was the Q♥ and all players checked. The river came the 9♠ and again all players checked to showdown.
The all in player, Bowley, had A♠8♥ and was playing the pair of jacks on board with ace high. Farrell had 8♣4♥. Billingham showed A♣J♣ for trip jacks. Pilkington had 4♠3♠ for a rivered flush to win the pot.
Bowley was eliminated on the bubble. All other players bagged and tagged their chips in anticipation of Day 2.

Dara O'Kearney was all in from the big blind for 1,000. Action folded around to Chris Da Silva in the small blind, who happened not to be at his seat at the time. It was ruled that Da Silva's hand would play as he was automatically covering O'Kearney with no further action. The cards were flipped.
Dara O'Kearney: 8♥6♥
Chris Da Silva: K♥10♣
O'Kearney started shouting out for his cards to come. "Please put an eight out there! Eight, eight, eight!"
The board ran out 2♣10♦7♠5♥J♣. The eight never came. Instead, Da Silva hit a ten on the flop and held to win the pot and eliminate O'Kearney on the bubble.

Cristian Mihu raised to 15,000 from middle position and picked up two callers, including Najeeb Elkamand in the big blind.
The flop came 6♥6♦3♦. Elkamand checked, Mihu bet 22,000, and then Elkamand moved all in for around 80,000. Mihu made the call with the bigger stack and players turned over their cards.
Najeeb Elkamand: 10♦10♠
Cristian Mihu: Q♥Q♦
The turn came the A♠ and the river was the 4♦. Mihu held with his pocket queens to win the pot. Elkamand busted as the bubble approaches.
