Pieter De Necker three-bet to 180,000 in the cutoff and Tamas Balogh called in the hijack.

Martial Blangenwitsch raised to 65,000 on the button before Alessio Di Cesare moved all in for 285,000 in the small blind. Philippe Riminucci reshoved for 500,000 in the big blind and Blangenwitsch snap-called.

Alessio Di Cesare: A♦Q♥ All in

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

It started slowly when Luca Moschitta raised from the cutoff to 50,000 and was called by Alessandro Merelli, who was in the small blind.

On the 4♣A♦6♥ flop, Merelli check-called the bet of 35,000 from Moschitta.

Merelli checked the 7♥ turn after a brief stare down and Moschitta also took some time to consider before betting 110,000. Merelli went all-in and Moschitta didn't appear pleased, but eventually called.

Luca Moschitta: A♣10♥ All in
Alessandro Merelli: 4♥4♠

With Merelli's flopped set, there was no help left for Moschitta as the river showed the K♦.

Brice Guido opened from early position to 50,000 and was called by Deborah Nizard from the cutoff. Jason Rocha then went all-in from the small blind with 280,000, and Eusebiu Jalba simply called from the big blind. Guido and Nizard didn't trust the call and both folded.
