Dominique Franchi open shoved for 37,000 from middle position and Marcelo Manfredini called in the small blind. He had Franchi well covered as players turned their cards.
Dominique Franchi: K♣K♥
Marcelo Manfredini: Q♣10♣
The board ran out A♠2♠J♣7♥J♠. Franchi held with his pocket kings for a much needed double up as the bubble fast approaches.
Bernard Mendy raised to 11,000 from under the gun and earned two callers in David Tous Rosich from the next seat and Alessandro Adinolfo.
The flop came 5♦3♥2♦ and it checked to Adinolfo, who bet 15,000. Mendy called only for Tous Rosich to check-shove for around 150,000. Adinolfo then also called all-in and Mendy vaulted out of his chair, exclaiming "ah putain," then folding.
Alessandro Adinolfo: 4♥4♠
David Tous Rosich: Q♥Q♠
The 8♦ turn and K♠ river completed the board for Adinolfo to bust.
"You win?" Tous Rosich asked and Mendy replied "of course I win, king-high flush draw."
Romain Lewis jammed for about 44,000 in early position, and the action folded around to Mats Ullereng in the big blind as he dropped a chip to make the call.
Romain Lewis: J♥10♥
Mats Ullereng: A♦K♥
Lewis was a small underdog but the Q♠10♠6♥ flop gave him the lead with a pair of tens. It was short-lived though as the A♥ fell on the turn, and Lewis couldn't complete his flush draw as the Q♣ paired the board on the river.
Marcelo Manfredini opened to 12,000 from middle position and was called by Nikola Sekler from the hijack. Kondah Abdelhadi and Parker Talbot called from the blinds.
Talbot led out for 12,000 on the 7♠6♠2♦ flop and only Manfredini called. Talbot sized up to 23,000 on the 2♠ turn and was called once more.
The Q♠ completed the board and action checked through to showdown.
Talbot had 10♦6♦, but was bested by his opponent's A♦Q♥.
"Bad River!" shouted Talbot.
Level: 17
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
Maxime Garin open shoved for 45,000 from early position. Action folded around to Mourad Amokrane, who made the call in the big blind. Players flipped their cards, with Garin at risk.
Maxime Garin: 9♠8♠
Mourad Amokrane: A♠K♦
The board ran out J♦8♣A♦7♠K♣. Amokrane paired his ace on the flop and made two pair with the king on the river. He won the pot and Garin was eliminated from the tournament.
Dara O'Kearney raised 10,000 in the hijack and called the 28,000 shove from Jaume Niell Alomar on the button.
Jaume Niell Alomar: K♥Q♣
Dara O'Kearney: K♦9♦
The K♠6♦2♣ flop was looking promising for Alomar but the 9♣ turn gave O'Kearney two pair to take the lead. The 8♠ river was a brick as Alomar tapped the table and said good luck to the players.
On a flop of K♥Q♠3♦, Vincent Daynes bet 6,000 and subsequently called a check-raise to 18,000 by Andrea Zigrossi in the blinds. They checked the J♠ on the turn and the 7♦ fell on the river. Zigrossi bet 30,000 after some consideration and Daynes folded his A♥J♥ face-up.
The same table also features Sho Homma, who appears to be one of the biggest stacks in the room right now.
Fabrice Fort opened to 16,000 from middle position and was called by Ismail Kalkan from the button.
Fort continued for 20,000 on the A♦5♠2♠ flop. Kalkan then started to reel off a speech but folded.
The following hand, Fort opened again and called when Renji Mao jammed for around 70,000.
Fort had A♣K♣ and was up against 10♠10♣. Fort became the favorite after the K♥3♠6♣ flop and held out to scoop in consecutive pots after the 7♠ turn and A♦ river.
In a three-bet pot to the Q♥9♣9♦ flop, Thomas Saminadin checked and then called a bet of 18,000 by Diogo Machado. They checked the 7♥ turn and Saminadin bet the J♠ river for 15,000. Machado called and was shown the 6♣6♥ by Saminadin, which he had beat with the 10♥10♠.
