Gianluca Speranza limped in from the cutoff and Olivier Paris called from the button before William Kassouf came along from the small blind. Vasileios Panagiotidis checked his option from the big blind and action was four ways.
The flop was 9♥8♥K♥ and action checked to Speranza for a bet of 600. Paris called but Kassouf made it 2,300 and that folded out the Panagiotidis. Speranza called and Paris got out of the way for a 10♦ on the turn.
Kassouf fired 5,000 on the turn and Speranza gave it up.

A completed board of K♠K♥2♠2♦5♣ was spread across the table with around 14,000 in the middle. Jiaze Li led out with a bet of 8,500 on the river from the big blind and Elias Hernandez went into the tank.
Hernandez eventually flicked in a call and Li flipped over K♣8♣ for a full house. Hernandez mucked his cards and Li raked in a healthy pot as his video time captured all of the action.

Martin Jacobson raised it up in middle position and Manuel Valduga reraised to 3,500 on the button. Jacobson called and they went heads-up to a flop of J♠7♦3♣. Jacobson checked to Valduga who bet 2,500 and Jacobson called.
The turn was the 8♦ and Jacobson check-called another bet of 7,300 from Valduga. The A♦ completed the board and Jacobson checked for the third time. Valduga made a look with his face that he was about to give up on the hand but made a bet of 12,400 anyway.
Jacobson went into the tank for just over a minute while Valduga hid his face with his sweater. The clock was called and Jacobson opted to lay his hand down which led to Valduga showing the K♣6♠.
