Jason Barton opened from under the gun to 1,200. Luigi Macaluso called in middle position before Eric Rabut raised to 2,500. Thierry Oldak then made it 7,000 from the cutoff.
Barton and Macaluso got out of the way before Rabut moved all-in for around 38,000. After a few minutes in the tank, Oldak gave his cards back to the dealer.
Action was picked up with Yacine El Benlyazid all in and at risk versus the covering stack of Lucien Cohen in the middle positions. El Benlyazid was at risk for around 17,500.
Yacine El Benlyazid: 7♥7♦
Lucien Cohen: K♣Q♥
The K♥K♠5♣ flop propelled Cohen into the lead, but the tables were turned on the 7♣ turn, drawing gasps from the table. The 2♣ was inconsequential and El Benlyazid secured a double up.

Rudolf Kosa opened from middle position to 1,000. capriccio1 defended the big blind. He check-called a bet of 700 on the A♣2♦A♠ flop from Kosa.
The 5♥ turn and 4♦ river were checked down. capriccio1 had the winner with A♥7♠ and Kosa's 9♦7♦ was no good at showdown.
Redwan Ferman opened to 2,000 from early position. Xavier Lyu called in the big blind. He checked the monotone 4♠A♠K♠ flop to Ferman who fired a bet of 1,300. Lyu check-raised to 3,000 before Ferman moved all-in for around 16,000 more. Lyu called.
Redwan Ferman: Q♥J♠
Xavier Lyu: A♦J♥
The 7♣ turn and K♣ river changed nothing other than Ferman's seat becoming open.
Seamus Cahill opened from the button to 1,200. Thomas Saminadin then three-bet to 4,500 from the small blind. Redwan Ferman, undeterred by the action in front of him, four-bet to 16,000.
Cahill folded his hand after some thought. Saminadin tanked for a moment before declaring all-in for around 47,500. Ferman then went deep into the tank before folding.
Stephane Neves limped for 1,000. Rudolf Kosa raised to 3,000 from middle position. Only Neves called.
Neves checked the 10♣7♦6♣ flop to Kosa, who bet 3,000. Neves quickly check-raised to 13,000. Kosa took a moment to evaluate his options and his cards before relinquishing them to the dealer.
