Alexis Andre opened 3,000 in the hijack before Victor Fryda three-bet 12,000 in the small blind. Soraya Estrada was in the big blind and paused for a moment before shoving her stack of 17,500 across the line. Andre quickly got out of the way, while Fryda dropped a chip across the line to make the call.

Soraya Estrada: 8♠8♥
Victor Fryda: Q♣Q♦

Estrada was dominated but the 8♦6♠3♣ flop gave her the lead with a set of eights. The J♥ turn and 4♦ river meant she could remain seated as she pulled in the double-up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jacques Guenni was all-in for 24,000 in the small blind, up against Parker Talbot from under the gun and Scott Margereson two seats over.

Jacques Guenni: A♦K♣
Parker Talbot: 10♣10♦
Scott Margereson: 10♥10♠

Guenni got there on the K♦J♣8♠2♦2♠ runout to leave both big name pros on fumes.

Margereson jammed for the last 6,000 the next hand and Jean Bros isolated with a reshove, Talbot folded in the big blind.

Scott Margereson: Q♥10♥
Jean Bros: A♠J♦

The 10♦8♣6♣A♦2♥ board knocked out Margereson, who received a "Hey, good luck in 1b buddy," from Talbot.

Only a few minutes later, Talbot would follow Margereson to the rail and pondered whether he'd jump into Day 1a of the High Roller or the second flight of the €1,100 FPS Main Event.

Thierry Vasseur open raised from late position and picked up calls from the button and small blind before Zhongxian Li made a three-bet. Vasseur quickly moved all in for around 112,000. Li was the only player to make the call.

Thierry Vasseur: K♦K♠
Zhongxian Li: A♠A♣

The board ran out 2♣5♠7♥5♥3♠. Vasseur had pocket kings but ran it into aces. Li held to near-double his stack and pull himself up towards the top of the pack. Following a count, Vasseur left the table.
