The player under the gun raised to 200 and was called by another player in middle position. Julien Dupre then squeezed to 1,200 from the cutoff and both his opponents called.
Action checked to Dupre on the 5♠J♦6♣ flop and he continued for 1,300. Both of his opponents didn't take long to fold in turn and Dupre, well-known for his streaming career in League of Legends, took down the pot uncontested.

The player first to act opened to 300 and was called by Laurence Stein in the cutoff for a heads-up pot.
Stein called a 500 bet from his opponent on the 8♣Q♠3♠ flop and then both players checked on the 5♥ turn.
The 2♥ completed the board and Stein's opponent check-called a 700 bet.
Stein turned over K♣Q♦ for a pair of queens and his opponent mucked — conceding the pot to Stein.

The France Poker Series (FPS) hosted by PokerStars has returned to the Casino Grand Cercle in Aix-Les-Bains, where competitors from near and far have gathered to take their shot at poker glory in the €1,100 Main Event over the next several days.
Last year, France's own Alban Juen overcame a 475-entry field and put on a dominating performance to take down his first second FPS title along with the $94,512 first-place prize. More recently, Juen continued his hot streak by winning an $1,100 Wynn Summer Classic event in Las Vegas for a career-best $380,767 back in May.
