Eric Qu limped from the button only to have Roberto Betbese raise to 700 from the small blind. The big got out of the way, Qu called, and it was heads-up action to the 
flop.
Betbese was first to act and checked, which opened the door for Qu to bet 1,000. Betbese then woke up with a check-raise to 3,100, Qu called, and the 
peeled off on the river. Betbese wasted little time in moving all in for his last 11,550, and Qu folded after thinking about it for about a minute.

A middle position player opened with a raise to 400 and Vanessa Rousso called from the cutoff. It folded to the small blind who called as well. Giorgia Tabet three-bet to 1,800 from the big blind and the original raiser folded. Rousso made a four-bet to 4,800 which caused the small blind to quickly throw away his hand.
Tabet thought for over a minute before finally tapping the table in defeat and giving Rousso the pot.

The pre-flop action at table 46 was massive with most of the players tossing in the 200 big blinds, but Eugene Katchalov's raise to 1,100 in the cutoff made some players change their mind. Still, Katchalov received 4 calls in Sofia Lovgren, Simone Gatto, Pavel Cheremisin and Enrico Etienne Rudelitz.
The five players saw the flop go 
and all checked. Then Gatto decided to take over on the 
turn betting 2,800. Cheremisin folded while Rudelitz made the call. Katchalov and Lovgren got out of the way as well and the two remaining players saw 
come on the river.
Rudelitz bet 4,825 and Gatto called. The first one showed 
while Gatto opened 
for a two pair and collected the pot.

Turgul showed 
for nothing but nine-high. Weisner showed 
and her pair of aces took it down. She's currently sitting on about 38,000 in chips.
