Damian Gonzalez raised to 4,000 under the gun and Eduardo Schneider called in early position. Alexandre Coussy then moved all in for 15,900 in the big blind, and Gonzalez reraised to 101,000. Schneider tanked for a minute, but he eventually folded to leave Gonzalez heads-up with Coussy.

Alexandre Coussy: 10♦10♣ All in
Damian Gonzalez: 5♣5♠

Schneider shot back in disgust when Gonzalez turned over his hand, claiming he had two sevens. The board ran out 9♠4♥Q♦J♥3♥, and Coussy doubled up with his tens.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 3,200 and Mateo Flament three-bet to 10,400 in middle position. Michael Falcon called in the cutoff, while the early-position player also called.

All three players checked the 7♥3♦4♠ flop. The early-position player then bet 15,500 on the 6♣ turn, and only Falcon called.

The river was the 4♣ and the early-position player bet 26,000. Falcon quickly called, and his opponent showed 9♦8♦ for a missed straight draw. Falcon turned over A♥Q♣ for just ace-high to win the big pot.

"If he goes all in, I call," Falcon said.

"I believe you," tablemate Inaki Angulo replied.

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Heads-up on a board of 8♣A♥2♠3♣, Gleb Novick bet 15,000 from middle position and an opponent called in the cutoff.

The river was the 10♠ and Novick moved all in for 26,000. The cutoff called, and Novick showed 2♣2♥ for a set. His opponent flashed an ace before mucking as Novick doubled up.

Vivian Saliba rejoined the field shortly after the break, while Jesus Ramos also fired another bullet. At the same table as Novick, Chang Tan, who was the Day 1 chip leader of last year's event, is sitting with around 170,000.

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Marcos Paneque raised to 3,500 in middle position, Filip Barczak three-bet to 10,000 on the button, and Paneque called.

The flop came J♦J♠10♣ and Barczak bet 9,000. Paneque called, and the 3♦ fell on the turn.

Barczak then bet 26,000, but this time Paneque moved all in for 106,000. Barczak tanked for a few minutes, but he eventually called to put Paneque at risk.

Paneque showed A♣Q♥ for a straight draw, while Barczak found himself ahead with 8♥8♣. The river, though, brought the A♠ to give Paneque two pair and the massive double up.
