Dave Stefanski
There are now just 35 players remaining on Day 1B and it's Dave Stefanski all alone at the top of the chip counts. Stefanski was unable to find a bag on Day 1A but is fairing much better here in the second flight.

Glen Minxolli
Glen Minxolli just got his last 24,000 all in preflop holding A♦️9♣️ against the A♣️K♣️ and the A♠️K♠️ of two players. It looked like it would be an early exit for Minxolli but there was a nine in the window on the 9♦️10♣️4♥️ flop.

The turn and river sealed the deal for Mixolli and he triples up to more than 75,000 here in the second Championship flight.

Fabio Dagata

James Magner limps in from under the gun and Fabio Dagata moves all in for about 16,000 from late position. It folds back to Magner who quickly calls and the hands are shown.

Magner: 5♠️5♣️
Dagata: A♥️K♦️


The dealer fans the J♣️5♥️4♠️ flop and Magner improves to a set of fives to put a hammerlock on the hand. The 9♠️ turn leaves Dagata drawing dead and the meaningless 7♠️ completes the board to earn Magner the pot and the elimination.

James Magner- 75,000
Fabio Dagata- Eliminated
