A pot of around 18,000 had developed in a three-way hand between Jaime Lozano Diaz, Callum Gordon and Uwe Behrendt, with the flop reading 10♣8♣7♠.
Action was checked to Diaz, who fired out a bet of 10,000. Gordon check-jammed for around 28,500, Behrendt moved his stack of 31,000 into the middle, and Diaz called with the covering stack.
Callum Gordon: 9♣9♥ 
Uwe Behrendt: J♥J♣
Jaime Lozano Diaz: A♠10♠
In a cooler, Behrendt was ahead with his overpair jacks, while Gordon had an up and down to go with his pair of nines, and Diaz had top pair.
The K♣ turn and K♦ river were bricks, sending Behrendt a chunky pot with two pair, kings and jacks.

Johannes-Herald Stephan opened under the gun to 2,500, and received calls from a player in middle position, along with Harry Sandford on the button, and the blinds, including Charly Maitre in the small blind.
The A♣10♠5♦ flop was checked through to the 6♥ turn, where Maitre led out with a bet of 3,000. Only Stephan and Sandford called.
The J♣ river completed the board, and Maitre fired out a bet of 12,000. Stephan folded, but after some consideration Sandford jammed for 45,600.
Maitre got a count but let his hand go in relatively swift order.

Julien Stropoli opened to 3,500 from the cutoff, and received calls from Alexander Maskell and Jaime Lozano Diaz in the blinds.
The J♣10♦6♣ flop was checked through to the 6♦ turn, where Maskell led out with a bet of 5,000. Only Stropoli called.
The 3♥ river completed the board, and Maskell continued with a downsized bet of 5,000, which proved enough to force Stropoli to fold.
