Sven Stok and Pavels Spirins were heads up on a turn of K♣7♠5♥9♥. Stok made a bet of 3,700 into the pot from the big blind of 4,500 and Spirins called from the hijack.
On the 2♥ river, Stok put in the rest of his stack, totaling 7,700. Spirins asked for a count but opted to fold once he was told what it was.
Fouad Rabahie and Brandon Leetz were heads up to the 9♥10♣J♥ flop with around 5,000 chips already in the middle.
Leetz checked from the big blind before Rabahie fired 2,600 from under the gun. Leetz called to the 9♦ turn, where both players checked.
Another round of checks followed the J♣ river, with Leetz turning over K♥Q♥ for a flopped straight. "What a beautiful flop" said Rabahie, as he slid his cards to the dealer.
Dan Laidlaw made a bet of 1,800 out of the big blind on a board that read J♣A♦J♥6♥. Thierry Mizrahi then called under the gun before Bernard Darmon made it 4,000 to go from middle position.
Both of his opponents called and the 5♣ river completed the board. It was checked to Darmon, who fired another 11,200 into the pot. Laidlaw then jammed all in, covering both other players.
Mizrahi tanked a bit before folding, while Darmon immediately slammed in a call. Laidlaw turned over A♣J♠ and Darmon showed A♥J♦ as both played the same full house.
They split the pot while Mizrahi claimed he folded pocket sixes for a lower full house.
Michael Kramer, under the gun, got his stack of little more than 30,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 6♥5♥6♦ against Fouad Rabahie in the big blind.
Michael Kramer: A♥A♣
Fouad Rabahie: 10♥6♠
Kramer's aces were no match against the flopped trips of Rabahie, who won yet another pot when the board ran out 9♠7♣.
Kramer sighed as he went to the exit, while Rabahie thanked the dealer for his good fortunes.
Robert Schulz opened to 800 from early position and was called by Conor Beresford from middle position. Fabrice Bigot three-bet to 2,800 from the button and saw both players call.
The 9♠6♠3♣ flop checked through to the 8♦ turn. Schulz led out for 3,000, and only Beresford called.
Schulz fired out another 5,000 on the 2♦ river, and after some brief deliberation, Beresford called.
Schulz tabled 6♥6♦ for a set of sixes.
"Absolutely milked," chuffed Beresford as he mucked his cards. "I thought you'd have been greedier."
However, a few moments later, Beresford was seen leaving his seat as his stack was collected by a player at his table.
Axel Hallay and Bernard Darmon were heads up on a completed board of 5♠Q♥7♥7♠6♥. Hallay checked out of the small blind to Darmon in the cutoff.
Darmon then fired 10,200 into a pot of 9,500. This sent Hallay into a short tank, but he ultimately decided to fold his hand and grant the pot to Darmon.
