Ilan Cohen opened to 24,000 from early position and Kevin Abecassis raised for most of his chips on the button. Action folded back to Cohen who put his opponent all-in, and Abecassis called for his 132,000 total chips.

Kevin Abecassis: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Ilan Cohen: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Abecassis improved to a set to secure the double.

Baumann Wins With Ace-High

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Gaelle Baumann raised to 25,000 from the hijack position and Raymond Attal called from the small blind before Florian Guimond came along from the big blind.

The flop was {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Attal and Guimond checked and Baumann continued for 28,000. Attal called and Guimond folded.

Both remaining players checked the {5-Diamonds} turn and {3-Clubs} river. Attal turned over {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}, but Baumann had {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for the better ace-high.

Guimond is on a red hot run and now sits at 1,200,000, while Attal had made the most of Day 2 with 840,000 as the second day of the tournament enters the late stages.

Babincev Triples; Said Takes Side Pot

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Before the blinds went up, Sergej Babincev had all of his 44,000 chips committed to the pot in early position, while Kazuhiko Yotsushika had approximately 100,000 committed to the pot in middle position and was facing a jam for 308,000 by Tahar Said in the cutoff. Yotsushika thought about it and called.

Sergej Babincev: {8-Spades}{6-Spades}
Tahar Said: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

"I win?" Babincev said hopefully.

Indeed, the board ran out {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Spades} to deliver Babincev a rivered flush to give him a short-stacked triple, while Said took the sizable side pot.

Dupu Gets Duped Into a Double

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After defending his big blind with a short stack, Paul Dupu announced call after the {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop, not realising that it meant his all-in for the last 43,000. The dealer called for the floor but Dupu shrugged and put his chips in anyways out of the big blind to face Javier Gomez in showdown.

Paul Dupu: {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Javier Gomez: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The {j-Diamonds} turn delivered the straight and the {k-Hearts} river changed nothing anymore, keeping Dupu in contention.
