In the hijack, Stephen Chidwick raised to 2,500 and Christoph Vogelsang on the button three-bet to 9,500 in order to scoop the pot uncontested.
Dan Smith then raised to 3,000 on the button in the next hand and Jean-Noel Thorel called in the big blind. The flop brought 
and Thorel checked, Smith bet 5,000 and picked up a snap call from Thorel. After the 
turn, Thorel check-called a bet of 15,000 and checked again the 
on the river. Smith now bet 40,000 and that forced a fold from Thorel.
Shortly yfter, Chidwick raised to 2,500 first to act and Smith called in the cutoff, David Peters defended the big blind. The three-way flop of 
was checked through and Peters bet the 
turn for 9,000, only Chidwick called. The 
came on the river and both players checked. Peters was first to show and flipped over 
, which Chidwick had beat with the 
for a pair of aces.
