Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Thibault Borniche in the under-the-gun position check-called a bet worth 3,900 by Bobby Simons on the K♦4♠4♥A♣ turn and then checked again the 10♥ on the river. Simons sized up to 13,800 and Borniche quickly grabbed calling chips before mulling it over for another few seconds.

Ultimately, the call followed within half a minute and Simons showed the 6♦4♦ for flopped trips to win the pot. He pulled further ahead of Abhinav Iyer, who can be found on the other side of the dealer on the very same table.

Dennis Stemmler defended out of the big blind and then jammed it in after the Q♣J♦5♠ flop to reveal the 10♥9♥ for the open-ended straight draw. Aristide Cochin had two of those outs blocked with the K♠K♣ and the overpair stayed ahead on the 9♣ turn as well as 2♥ river.

The turn was the 7♣ and river the K♣. Sturzeneker held and Blehaut was eliminated.
