The players are now on a 75-minute dinner break and play will resume around 9:15 p.m. CET. Late registration will close once the break is over.
Corentin Alves opened to 2,800 from early position and was called by Steven Smith on the button and David Ash in the big blind.
Action checked to Smith on the flop and he bet 3,600. Both players called. The turn checked through to the river.
Ash bet 11,000 before Alves moved all-in for around 30,000. Smith got out of the way and Ash made a quick call.
Alves turned over his for a set of kings while Ash exposed his for a flopped middle set. The table erupted as Alves raked in a needed double.

Remy Hordan and Marcel Pospisil had all their chips in the middle in a pre-flop cooler scenario. Hordan was all-in and at risk with pocket kings while his opponent had pocket-aces.
The kings failed to connect on the flop and Hordan exited the tournament room after the runout.

In the latest PokerNews Podcast, Sarah Herring, Chad Holloway, and Jesse Fullen talk about cheating and murder in the poker world. Regarding the former, Alex Foxen shook the community by leveling cheating allegations against Ali Imsirovic, and for the latter, well a former poker pro is in hot water facing third-degree murder charges in Minnesota.
They also talk about Phil Ivey and Jake Schindler victories at Super High Roller Bowl Europe, remember the Ante Up Poker Cast and All-American Dave, preview upcoming stops, and offer predictions for the $25K PokerGO Tour Heads-Up Showdown.
Finally, Chad talks with crypto enthusiast Wesley Flan, who took up poker just four months ago but is already making headlines on Hustler Casino Live, including one session where he spun up his $10,000 starting stack up to $190,000 thanks in no small part to a set-over-set hand against Garrett Adelstein.
