The board read 
with around 63,000 in the middle.
John Forsman had checked in the early position and Potito Martire had bet 44,800 in the mid-position. Forsman had dived deep into the tank while trying to figure out what to do. The clock was called on him by another player on the table and the floor came over. The dealer explained the situation and the floor gave Forsman 30 seconds to take the decision.
After twenty-five seconds, the floor started counting down and declared Forsman's hand dead. Forsman slowly pushed his cards over the line to see the pot being awarded to Martire.

: 600/1,200, 200 ante
The board read 
with a pot containing around 16,000 already. Espen Uhlen Jorstad had checked in the small blind and Michal Wilczynski was considering what to do in the big blind. After a while, Wilczynski opted to also check. Jorstad tabled 
for the pair of jacks and improved to two pair on the river and that was enough to scoop up the pot.
"I wish I could sit as straight as you! Not all slumped over like I normally do!" Clint Sammut exclaimed for Jorstad to respond with a laugh.
