Jonathan Bonnin was getting out of his seat after busting to chip-leader Hassan Sey.
Bonnin had K♠J♠, which was good enough for top pair on the K♥4♦4♥7♦3♥ board, but Sey had him pipped with A♦K♠.
Sey moves towards the seven-figure mark.

Samy Barka opened to 5,000 under the gun, and received calls from two players and Michel Angerant in the big blind.
On the K♥Q♦9♣ flop, action was checked to Barka, who fired out a bet of 5,500. Only Angerant stuck around for the Q♣ turn, which paired the board and was checked through to the 5♦ river.
There Angerant led out with a bet of 22,000. Barka eyed him suspiciously for a while, and ultimately made the call.
Angerant tabled A♠Q♠ for the turned trip queens, which usurped Barka's A♥K♦ for flopped top pair kings.

Around 36,000 had found its way into the middle on a completed board of Q♠5♦3♥9♦4♦, in a hand between Alexander Ovechkin and Michelle Gross.
Ovechkin jammed the river with the covering stack, and Gross, who had around 35,000 behind, went deep into thought. After around three minutes, the clock was called.
Gross seemed unable to make a decision, and as time was almost out she reluctantly sent her cards to the muck.

Irish Open 2025 runner-up Umberto Ruggeri opened to 6,000 from the cutoff, and received a call from Miguel Coussement in the big blind,
Coussement check-called a bet of 11,500 from Ruggeri on the A♠7♦5♦ flop, leading to the 9♣ turn.
Here Coussement changed approach, leading out with a bet of 13,000. Ruggeri seemed slightly perplexed by the change in tact, and took quite a while before he made the call.
The 6♥ river completed the board, bringing one-card straight possibilities. Coussement took around 90 seconds before firing out a bet of 70,000.
Ruggeri sighed and sat back in his chair, before he ultimately sent his cards to the dealer after about two minutes of thought.

Dionke Ba opened to 6,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet jam to 33,000 from Eric Denizart. Action folded back to Ba, who called after a brief period of thought.
Eric Denizart: J♥J♠ 
Dionke Ba: 4♠4♥
Denizart had Ba crushed, and he ended up with the higher flush after the four heart K♥Q♥Q♣A♥6♥ runout sent him the double-up.
