Andriy Lyubovetskiy open-raised to 2,600 in early position. Arthur Conan upped the ante to 10,200 on the button, which Lyubovetskiy four-bet to 23,600.

Not to be outdone, Conan reraised again, this time putting in 46,000. Lyubovetskiy went deep into the tank, but he gave up on the pot and mucked his cards when the clock was called on him.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Rodrigo Selouan opened to 2,500 from under the gun, which Sylwia Studniarz called from the button, enticing the big blind to join in too.

Both the big blind and Selouan folded on the 2♥K♦7♦ flop, and Studniarz bet 3,000. The big blind folded, but Selouan check-raised to 14,000, which Studniarz called.

Selouan continued with a bet of 35,000 on the 10♣ turn, and, undeterred, Studniarz stuck around.

The dealer added the 3♠ river to the board, and Selouan went for it all, moving all in for roughly 115,000. Crucially, the bet was for slightly more than Studniarz's remaining stack.

After taking some time to consider the situation, Studniarz announced she was folding, but took a picture of the board before the dealer pulled all the cards in.

Rodrigo Selouan	224,300 104,300	104,300
Sylwia Studniarz	112,000 49,700	49,700

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Suwei Yang opened to 2,500, and Fabian Bartuschk flat-called. Jean Chicheportiche then three-bet to 11,600, prompting Yang to move all in for 52,000.

Bartuschk quickly moved out of the way before Chicheportiche called with the covering stack.

Suwei Yang: Q♠Q♥ All in
Jean Chicheportiche: K♠K♣

Yang did not improve on the 2♠8♦4♦10♥6♥ runout, and he tapped the table before exiting the tournament area.

On another table, Will Kassouf was spotted with a stack of two and a half times the average, putting him among the leaders in the room.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Andrej Tekel opened to 2,500, gathering calls from Nikolakis Panagiotis in the hijack and Diana Kalietina in the big blind.

All three players checked on the 7♥8♠6♥ flop, prompting Kalietina to lead out for 5,500 on the 6♦ turn. Tekel folded, but Panagiotis called.

The river brought the A♦, and when Kalietina checked, Panagiotis put a bet of 13,000 into the middle. Kalietina called without hesitation and beat J♣10♣ with her A♥4♦.

Andrej Tekel	98,500 35,700	35,700

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The board was dealt up until the turn and read K♣4♦6♠9♠ when Blaz Zerjav checked from the hijack. Renzo Pedrotti then bet 35,000 into the 70,000 pot, sending Zerjav into thought.

After a few minutes, Zerjav surrendered his cards to the dealer. Pedrotti was awarded the pot, and he flipped over the J♥ while raking in the chips.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tom-Aksel Bedell raised to 2,500 in middle position, and Franck Makaci responded with a three-bet to 6,500 in the cutoff. Thomas Rauhut cold-called in the small blind, enticing Bedell to follow suit.

Both Rauhut and Bedell checked to Makaci on the 7♥2♦K♦ flop, who bet another 6,500. Rauhut folded immediately, and Bedell didn't waste much time in returning his own cards to the dealer.

Franck Makaci	120,500 120,500	120,500

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was caught on a 6♠3♠9♦ flop. Sylwia Studniarz checked from the big blind, prompting Rodrigo Selouan to add 12,000 to the 30,000 pot from middle position.

Studniarz responded with a raise to 30,000, which Selouan quickly called. The 8♦ turn saw Studniarz quickly move all in for 71,700. Selouan asked for a count, but folded his hand upon hearing the correct number.

Studniarz then tabled A♠J♠ for a flush draw, and Selouan admitted he had folded a pocket pair.
