From early position, Anton Suarez made it 160,000 to go and only Sergio Carro Marin called from the big blind.

Both players checked all the way to the river on a runout of 5♣A♠2♠Q♥9♦ before Marin bet 250,000. Suarez quickly called and was shown ten-high by Marin with 10♣8♠. Suarez tabled K♥Q♦ for second pair, and the pot went over to him.

Marc Foggin raised to 135,000 in middle position and was called by Sebastian Ionita in the cutoff and Youssef Zereg in the big blind.

Action checked to Ionita on the 10♥9♥2♠ flop and he bet 175,000. Only Foggin called and the two players checked the 6♥ turn.

Foggin also checked the 4♠ river, Ionita bet 650,000, and Foggin folded as the players headed off on break.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

From under the gun, Thomas Eychenne raised to 120,000 and only Joao Webber called out of the big blind.

Webber and Eychenne checked the 7♣10♣5♥ flop to see the 10♥ drop on the turn. Webber led out for 350,000, and Eychenne continued with a call.

A 7♦ river saw Webber overbet for 1,200,000. Eychenne tanked for quite some time and was visibly distressed by the spot he was in. In the end, Eychenne chose to call.

Webber showed a bluff with Q♣8♦, and Eychenne took down the pot with 9♣9♠ for just a pair of nines (two pair with the tens on the board).

Thomas Eychenne	4,550,000 1,730,000	1,730,000
