The remaining 46 players are heading for a 15-minute break.
Level 10
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Hugo Loustau raised to 6,000 in the hijack, which both the small blind player and Johan Goslings, in the big blind, called.
The dealer spread a flop of 5♣K♣K♠, and action checked to Loustau. The preflop aggressor continued with a bet of 5,000, which the small blind called, before Goslings check-raised to 15,000. Loustau called, and the small blind player folded.
Goslings continued with a bet of 26,000 on the Q♦ turn, which again Loustau called.
The river 2♠ slowed the action down, and once both players had checked, Goslings flipped over K♦3♥. His trip kings enough to claim the pot as Loustau returned his cards to the dealer face down.

The action was joined on Table One as Mark McKenzie had moved all in for his remaining stack of 40,000. Despite a couple of his tablemates looking interested, everybody elected to fold.
One table over, it was the same story for Samuel Goodman, who moved all in for 45,000. The player in the big blind spent some time in the tank, but ultimately chose to fold, seeing Goodman take down the pot unchallenged.

Ionut Dinu raised to 4,000 on the button, which only Kenny Burke called, defending his big blind.
The dealer spread a J♦A♦10♣ flop, which Burke checked, in flow. Dinu continued for 2,500 before seeing Burke spring the trap, check-raising to 7,500.
Dinu took some time before making a decision, ultimately choosing to return his cards to the dealer and surrender the pot to Burke.
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Stefano Frisolo raised to 7,000 from under the gun before seeing Matteo Condemi move all in for 26,500. Action folded back to Frisolo, who made the call.
Matteo Condemi: 9♣9♦ 
Stefano Frisolo: A♠A♣
There was no help for Condemi on the K♣4♥J♦ flop, but the 9♥ saw him take the lead, improving to a set.
The river 5♦ was no help to Frisolo, who took the bad beat well, as he sent half his stack across the table.

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 35th episode, Connor talks with No Filter Poker Series founder Mounir Tajiou about growing up in Sweden, working as a high court judge, playing professional soccer, making a deep run in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and the new No Filter Poker Series, which values fun at the table over poker strategy.
We also hear from 1998 Main Event champion Scotty Nguyen, reigning WSOP champ Michael Mizrachi and Finnish poker legend Juha Helppi about their involvement with the No Filter Poker tour.
