Fabian Niederreiter opened to 2,500 and Ryan Plant then three-bet jammed for 18,200 in the next seat. The initial raiser asked for a count and called.
Ryan Plant: K♥Q♥
Fabian Niederreiter: A♣Q♣
The board ran out J♥10♣9♦4♣J♦ and Plant doubled with the flopped straight.
With some 17,000 in the middle to the 10♥9♣7♥ flop, Stephane Guelpa checked in middle position. Peter Jorgne bet 6,500 in the cutoff only to get check-raised to 21,000. Jorgne then pushed all-in and Guelpa called.
Stephane Guelpa: 9♥8♥
Peter Jorgne: 7♦7♠
Jorgne was ahead with a set of sevens and whispered "no heart". That request was granted on the 2♠ turn and 3♦ river before the stacks were counted. Jorgne's 116,700 covered as Guelpa only had around 102,000 and last year's runner-up soared to one of the biggest stacks in the room.
Georgi Sandev and Lars Tungel were heads up on a flop of 7♦10♠10♦. With around 8,000 chips in the middle, Tungel had checked and Sandev had made a bet of 2,100. Tungel then raised to 8,100, after which Sandev jammed all in for 27,100.
Tungel thought about it for a bit but eventually flicked in a call to put Sandev at risk.
Georgi Sandev: K♦K♣
Lars Tungel: K♠7♠
Tungel's two pair was in deep trouble against Sandev's higher two pair. The A♠ turn did nothing for either player, and the K♥ river saw Sandev make a full house to secure his double-up, surpassing Tungel in chips.
Level: 10
Blinds: 600/1,200

Earlier today, 2023 EPT Barcelona Main Event champ Simon Wiciak was unveiled as the latest addition to PokerStars Team Pro, and his stack is in good shape ahead of Day 2 as he just picked up a pot to hit the 80,000 mark.
Iurii Kondrat opened to 2,400 from the button and saw Yuto Suzuki called from the small blind. Wiciak squeezed to 12,000 from the big blind and only Kondrat called.
Wiciak then folded out his opponent with a bet of 8,500 on the A♣J♦10♦ flop.
[Removed:554] open-jammed for the last 12,800 on the button and Aleksandr Shevliakov in the small blind asked for an exact count, then tossed in a single chip for the call. Bernard Darmon in the big blind folded.
[Removed:554]: Q♥10♣
Aleksandr Shevliakov: A♦A♠
[Removed:555] earned a lot of equity on the 7♣3♣2♣ flop and 10♦ turn, but the 6♠ river was a blank to send the Dutchman to the rail.
Jovan Kenjic had previously chopped with Jan Kesänen when his queen-jack was dominated by the A♦Q♦ of Jan Kesänen. He now three-bet jammed for 21.300 and Samuel Prieto Roldan quickly called.
Jovan Kenjic: Q♦J♦
Samuel Prieto Roldan: 10♠10♦
The pocket pair remained ahead on the 8♣5♠4♥8♥7♦ runout and Kenjic grabbed his belongings.
"Good luck tomorrow," another player at the table remarked.
Ben Heath raised to 2,400 as first to act and Endrit Geci made it 7,200 to go on the button. After Heath made sure he knew what his opponent's stack was, he put in the call.
Both players went on to check on the Q♦7♦9♠ flop before Heath check-called Geci's bet of 6,000 chips on the 9♦ turn.
The 7♥ river then completed the board and Heath checked once more. Geci now bet 17,000 chips, around half his stack. Heath flicked in a quick call and Geci showed A♦K♦ for a flush.
Heath's cards swiftly hit the muck and he paid Geci his dues.
Diogo Coelho opened to 2,400 from under the gun and was called by Govert Metaal and Dinesh Alt from late position and the big blind respectively.
Coelho continued for 2,200 on the K♥6♦3♥ flop and only Metaal called.
The 8♥ turn checked through to the Q♣ river. Coelho sized up to 11,500 and Metaal made a quick fold.
Roman Hrabec opened in late position and then called a three-bet to 7,500 in the hijack by Peter Jorgne, which led them to the Q♣3♣2♦ flop. Hrabec check-raised from 8,000 to 22,000 only for Jorgne to make it 43,000 to go. The call by Hrabec followed and he then led the Q♥ turn for 23,500.
Jorgne glanced over from the other side of the table and inquired about the bet size and how much his opponent had behind before coming along.
Hrabec sized down even further and bet just 15,000 on the A♥ river. Jorgne gave it a few seconds before moving all-in and Hrabec instantly chuckled.
"Nice aces," Hrabec appeared to whisper before sending the cards into the muck with a grin on the face.
