An interesting flop of 2♦6♠10♦ landed, giving Lococo a flush draw.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Gregoire Auzoux had already opened from under the gun and was three-bet to 20,000 by Juan Pardo from early position. Action folded back to Auzoux, who called.

Auzoux checked to Pardo on the 9♥2♥7♥ flop and he bet 10,000. Auzoux responded with a check-raise to 26,000 and Pardo shoved to put Auzoux all in for a bit under 100,000. Auzoux quickly called and a showdown was held.

Gregoire Auzoux: A♥10♦
Juan Pardo: J♣J♠

Pardo was ahead with his jacks, but would need to fade a lot of outs to eliminate Auzoux.

The J♦ turn improved Pardo to a set, but the K♥ river gave Auzoux a winning flush for the double up.

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Julien Sitbon had already four-bet shoved for his last 66,500 on the button against Simon Higgins, who called from the small blind to put Sitbon at risk.

Julien Sitbon: A♦J♣
Simon Higgins: K♠Q♦

The 5♣Q♣10♦ flop vaulted Sitbon into the lead with a pair of queens and Sitbon began getting up from his seat after the 3♥ fell on the turn.

However, the A♠ river paired Sitbon's ace for the double up and he sat back down.

Mikolaitis flopped top pair, with the 6♥10♦Q♥ landing.

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ihor Hula was heads-up from the big blind against Elias Gutierrez, who bet enough from the cutoff to put Hula all in for his last 60,000 on a completed board of 9♦J♥7♣A♠4♥.

Hula tanked for a while, but eventually decided to call and Gutierrez tabled A♣6♥ for a pair of aces. It was best against Hula's J♠10♥ for a pair of jacks and he was eliminated.
