The action was caught as Benjamin Chalot, in middle position, had a wager of 2,200 laying in front of him, while Jimmy Saft, in the cutoff, had raised to 6,200. Chalot chose to call.
The K♥6♠7♠ flop saw Chalot check and then fold to a continuation bet of 5,000 from Saft.
Cedric Ghanassia opened the action with a raise to 1,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Sajad Abud in the small blind. He jammed for his last 7,500 and Ghanassia asked for a count, then called after about thirty seconds.
Sajad Abud: J♣10♣
Cedric Ghanassia: Q♠J♠
Thanks to a board of A♦A♠K♥A♣6♥, the queen played to knock out Abud.
In a duel hijack versus button, the flop showed A♣8♥7♣ and Wei Huang bet 1,800 for Jean-Pierre Boulad to call. The same action repeated on the J♦ turn for 3,500 and Huang then bet the 6♥ river for 11,000 with 15,000 behind.
Boulad went into the tank for a minute before he called but couldn't beat the 8♣8♠ for a flopped set by Huang.
Victor Gomez raised to 1,000 from the cutoff and Ricardo De Andrade defended in the big blind.
De Andrade check-called a bet of 1,200 from Gomez on the 6♠7♠5♦ flop.
The 9♣ turn checked through to the 7♥ on the river. De Andrade led out for 5,200 and Gomez didn't take long to toss in the call. De Andrade tabled A♠3♥ for ace high, while Gomez won this pot with Q♠9♠ for top pair.
Jakub Michalak raised for Luca Moschitta to call and Razvan Popa then three-bet to 2,400, earning calls from both Michalak and Moschitta. On a flop of 8♥6♥2♥, the action checked to Popa and he bet 3,000. Michalak folded and Moschitta check-raised to 7,100 for Popa to quickly call.
That led them to the 3♥ turn on which Moschitta check-jammed for 11,000 and Popa called, having bet 5,500.
Luca Moschitta: K♥9♥
Razvan Popa: 10♥10♦
The river was an insignificant 8♣ and Moschitta doubled.
One hand later, Popa opened and Francois Vincenti three-bet to 3,500 off a shorter stack. Popa four-bet to 8,000 and called Vincenti's shove.
Francois Vincenti: J♣J♠
Razvan Popa: K♠K♥
The A♦9♥8♣2♣10♠ board brought no help and Vincenti departed right before the break.
Following a middle position open raise to 900, Paraskevas Tsokaridid called, then Carlo Savinelli three-bet to 3,300 from the button. Geoffrey Quenechen called in the small blind and Tsokaridid also called.
The flop came 6♦6♥3♦ and all three players checked. The turn was the A♦. Quenechen bet 5,000 and Savinelli called. The river was the 5♥ and both players checked. Quenechen showed K♦K♣ for pocket kings and Savinelli had A♥Q♣ for top pair.
Following an open raise, Kartik Ved three-bet to 3,000 from the button and Georgios Karakousis four-bet all in for 12,000 from the small blind. Ved called and players flipped their cards, with Karakousis at risk.
Kartik Ved: A♥K♠
Georgios Karakousis: 9♦9♠
The board ran out 4♦7♠4♠7♥10♠. Karakousis held with his pocket nines to win the pot and double up his stack.
The players have now been sent on their second 20-minute break of the day.
