Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Alex Keating opened the action with a raise to 5,000 from middle position and Dan Laidlaw responded with a shove for around 40,000 from the next seat. It folded back to Keating who asked for a count, but then called before an exact amount was given.

Dan Laidlaw: A♥K♦
Alex Keating: 10♦10♣

The flip went to Keating thanks to a board of Q♣5♣4♥8♣3♦ and he then jokingly mentioned "I won five out of five flips today, my mum would have 500k now, I am playing so bad".

Timo Kamphues replied "I have never seen you lose a flip" before they carried on with more table chatter.

Picking up the action on the river with a completed board of 10♠7♣K♥Q♥3♠ and around 80,000 in the pot. Gabriel Rymar moved all in for around 110,000 in the big blind.

Padraig O'Neill snap-called in the cutoff and Rymar showed A♥5♥ for a bluff. O'Neill turned over A♦J♥ for the nut straight to win the massive pot and send Rymar to the rail.

Alex Kulev also departed the tournament room at nearly the same time from an adjacent table.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Aliaksandr Yarosh raised to 5,500 from under the gun on a table with, among others, Bryn Kenney and several of the larger stacks in the Main Event. [Removed:471] made it 16,000 to go from the next seat over and Yarosh obliged with a call.

Yarosh check-called a 12,500 continuation-bet on the J♣10♥6♣ flop before the 9♦ turn and 7♥ river were checked through.

Yarosh showed A♣K♠ for the winning hand as [Removed:526] tabled A♠Q♦ for a lesser ace-high.

One hand later, [Removed:526] opened to 5,000 from under the gun and got Bryn Kenney and Ihar Soika to come along with him. The trio went on to check the flop of 7♣K♠10♣ before [Removed:526] fired 15,000 on the 9♥ turn.

Kenney made the call while Soika got out of the way. The 9♣ river was then checked again and [Removed:526] tabled K♥10♥ for two pair. Kenney's cards hit the muck as he fell to a stack of 30 big blinds.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The mobile camera crew was at the table of the 2023 EPT Paris Main Event runner-up Peter Jorgne, who fired a bet of 25,000 out of the big blind with the turn showing A♦7♥3♦A♠. Ehsan Amiri called on the button and the duo headed to the 8♠ river.

Jorgne opted to check and Amiri cut out a bet worth 50,000. That was enough to win the pot uncontested, as the Swede mulled it over for a half a minute to then fold.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 5♠4♥6♣, Jerry Odeen bet 15,000 from the big blind, Louis Karam shoved the button, and Odeen called for his last 51,000.

Jerry Odeen: K♥7♠
Louis Karam: 10♣10♠

Karam was ahead with his pocket tens, while Odeen was on a straight draw. The 4♠ fell on the turn, but the 3♣ river gave Odeen his straight as Karam slammed the table in frustration before taking a photo of the board.

Soika Beats Countinho in Showdown

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On the tail end of a K♣K♥Q♣5♣6♥ board, Ihar Soika bet 20,500 in the small blind. Fellow big stack Sergio Coutinho called in the big blind but quickly mucked his cards when Soika revealed the K♠8♠ for flopped trip kings.

Both players are among the current chip leaders and Soika may very well surpass half a million in chips if he continues the hot run for the day.

Joao Sydenstricker opened to 5,000, Aleksejs Ponakovs called, and action folded to Daan Mulders on the button.

He reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 18,000. Sydenstricker folded, but Ponakovs reached for more chips and produced a four-bet to 34,000.

The preflop action wasn't done there yet, as Mulders was not to be taken off his hand, reaching for chips and putting out a bet of 55,000. Ponakovs called.

On the 7♠9♥6♥ flop, Ponakovs moved all in and Mulders called off his remaining 55,000, with Mulders at risk.

Daan Mulders: Q♥Q♣
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♥J♥

Mulders was ahead with his overpair of queens but Ponakovs had plenty of outs with his flush draw.

The 7♥ rolled off on the turn to complete Ponakovs' flush, leaving Mulders drawing to a queen, and that did not arrive on the 6♠ river, sending him to the exit.

Heads-up on a flop of J♣Q♠2♣, David McConachie bet 11,000 from the big blind and Yanfeng Wang called in the hijack.

The turn was the 8♥ and McConachie moved all in. Wang thought about it for around 20 seconds before calling for 50,000 more.

McConcahie showed J♠J♥ for a set and Wang turned over A♣Q♣ for top pair and the nut flush draw. The river was the A♦ and Wang could only make a no-good two pair as McConachie sent him to the rail.

"I thought he was going to be drawing dead when he called. I wasn't expecting that," McConachie said as he stacked up the pot.
