Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The player in the hijack opened to 3,000 and Thomas Pandelis three-bet to 9,000 from the small blind. Action folded back to the initial raiser, who called.

The hijack called a 6,000 bet from Pandelis on the Q♦9♦6♥ flop and then both players checked on the 9♣ turn.

The 3♣ completed the board and Pandelis put a stack of chips into the middle, which was enough to put his opponent all in for their last 36,000.

The hijack tanked a while, but eventually opted to lay his hand down and Pandelis collected the pot without showing.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Loris Corbelli and Guillermo Gordo were heads-up on a completed board of Q♥10♦9♠2♥5♦ with over 50,000 already in the middle.

Corbelli checked from under the gun and Gordo fired 75,000 into the middle from directly behind, sending Corbelli deep into the tank.

The clock was eventually called and Corbelli stuck in a single chip to indicate a call.

Gordo tabled K♥J♦ for a flopped straight and Corbelli sent his hand into the muck to send the massive pot Gordo's way.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player in middle position raised to 3,000 and Simon Wiciak called on the button for a heads-up pot.

Wiciak's opponent check-called a 2,500 bet from Wiciak on the 7♠9♠6♠ flop and then both players checked down on the 9♦ turn and 8♠ river.

Wiciak's opponent turned over Ax8x for nines and eights, but Wiciak turned over Q♠J♣ for a queen-high flush to claim the pot.

Wiciak, who won the 2023 EPT Barcelona Main Event, has had a stellar day so far and is currently sitting with about 210,000 in chips.

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

Michel Molenaar shoved for his last 12,300 from the cutoff and just behind him, Loris Corbelli called on the button to put Molenaar at risk. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Michel Molenaar: 6♣6♦ All in
Loris Corbelli: Q♠10♠

The 3♥J♥5♣ flop and K♠ turn kept Molenaar ahead with his sixes, but the A♣ river filled Corbelli's straight draw to eliminate Molenaar.

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

Jason Metz opened to 3,000 first to act and just behind him, Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 10,000. Action folded back around to Metz, who announced he was all in, which was enough to put Thorel all in for approximately 30,000 total. Thorel called and hands were revealed.

Jean-Noel Thorel: 10♣10♠ All in
Jason Metz: A♣A♥

Thorel would need some help to keep his main event going, but the 4♦6♣6♥9♦5♦ runout came clean for Metz, who collected the rest of Thorel's chips.
