Players are now on their first 20-minute break of the day.

Lhuillier Rivers Full House to Best Ribeiro's Straight

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With around 16,000 already in the middle on a {6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} board, the river brought the {8-Diamonds}. Julio Marino Carvalho Ribeiro, from middle position, fired for around 12,000. Jean Lhuillier would then go all-in for roughly 26,000 and Ribeiro made the call.

Jean Lhuillier: {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Julio Marino Carvalho Ribeiro: {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Despite making a straight on the turn that also had a straight flush draw, Lhuillier would make a full house on the river and earn the full double up just before the first break of the day.

Paradowski Forces Big River Fold from Gremaud

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With about 4,000 already in the middle on the {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, Axel Samir Gremaud checked from the big blind over to Nilo Rodriguez in the cutoff, who also tapped the table. Bartlomiej Paradowski would put out a bet of 1,500 and Gremaud came along for the ride. Rodriguez would toss his cards in the middle.

The {7-Diamonds} turn put a second flush draw out on the board and Paradowski continued for 3,000. Gremaud called once more.

The {3-Diamonds} river completed the diamond flush and put a possible straight out there as well. After Gremaud checked, Paradowski put out roughly a pot-sized bet of 13,000. Gremaud, who had 25,500 behind, was put to the test and, after about 45 seconds, opted to lay his hand down.

Kollatos and Sierra Chop Four-Way Pot

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Stylianos Kollatos limped from under the gun and Sergio Gustavo De Luca min-raised to 600 from the button. David Altisent Sierra called from the small blind as well as Jose-Alberto Ortiz from the big blind. Kollatos would toss in the extra 300 as well.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and all four players would tap the table in quick fashion.

On the {8-Diamonds} turn, which put a four-card straight on the board, Sierra put out a bet of 900 and was called by everybody except De Luca.

The {2-Diamonds} his the river and Sierra again fired, this time for 2,000. Both Ortiz and Kollatos called.

Sierra flipped over {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a ten-high straight, which was matched by Kollatos' {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Ortiz frustratingly mucked and Sierra and Kollatos chopped the pot.

Suhak's Second Pair Good Enough to Win 16,000-Chip Pot

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The action was caught with 7,000 in the middle on a {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} board. Artem Suhak, from the cutoff, checked over to Gard Clausen who put out a bet of 4,500 from the button. Suhak took his time before calling.

The river brought the {j-Spades} and both players quickly tapped the table, with Suhak turning over {a-Hearts}{8-Spades} for second pair and a missed nut-flush draw. Clausen acknowledged it was good with a quick shake of the head and Suhak brought in a healthy 16,000-chip pot.
