Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

On a A♥K♥5♣4♦10♦ board with approximately 18,000 chips in the pot, Masato Yokosawa went deep in the tank after he bet 23,000 on the river, and Christophe Malaurie raised all in for 38,000 chips.

Yokosawa spread his time banks in front of him, and the dealer took all of them except for one before he made a decision. Eventually, Yokosawa folded. "I have no idea what you have," said Malaurie later.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

On the turn of K♠8♥6♥4♣, Cristian David checked to Dimitrios Angelakos who fired a bet of 15,500 into the pot of about 16,000. David went deep into the tank before eventually moving all-in. Angelakos called off his stack of about 26,000 and both hands were on their backs.

Dimitrios Angelakos: Q♥5♥
Cristian David: J♣J♥

"I have outs," said Angelakos as he saw the cards.

The 4♣ river wasn't one of them though as he missed his flush draw and overcard to exit the tournament.

With 5,700 in the middle on the A♠5♥4♥7♥ turn, Ionut-Lucian Colciar checked, and Davidi Kitai bet 1,200. Giancarlo Monti called before Colciar put in the check-raise to 5,200. Only Kitai stuck around.

The 6♥ landed on the river, and both players checked. Colciar showed A♥5♦, rivering the ace-high flush, and Kitai looked frustrated as he showed the J♥ before mucking his second card.

Anton Wigg opened in early position and received calls from Rania Nasreddine in the hijack, and Juha Helppi in the cutoff before Nicolas Lecoeuvre three-bet 3,500 from the small blind. Only Nasreddine made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of 6♦5♦4♥, and Lecoeuvre check-raised a bet of 5,000 to 14,000, and Nasreddine snap-called.

When the 9♦ fell on the turn, Lecoeuvre used a time bank, taking about 45 seconds before deciding to jam all in for roughly 30,000.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

After Patrick Bruel sat down at the table, Simon Mattsson opened to 500 from under the gun. He was called by Laurent Cessy in middle position and by Aram Sargsyan in the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 9♦7♠5♥, but everyone checked, so she revealed the 6♦ as the turn. This time, Sargsyan bet 700. Mattsson made the call, but Cessy gave his cards to the dealer.

On the river 8♦, Sargsyan bet 2,200, but Mattsson raised to 12,000. After thinking for a few seconds, Sargsyan eventually called but discovered A♦Q♦ in Mattsson's hand for the best possible flush.

Player	Chips	Progress
Simon Mattsson	62,000
Patrick Bruel	50,000 50,000	50,000
