Tim Hanssen opened to 30,000 from early position, and received a call from Krzysztof Grubka in the hijack, before Jason Barton produced a three-bet to 110,000 from the cutoff. Hanssen got out of the way, but Grubka called.
On the 9♥6♦5♣ flop, Grubka quickly check-folded versus a bet of 130,000 from Barton.
Mallory Frere opened to 35,000 on the button, and Ka Ho defended in the big blind.
On the 8♠3♥2♣ flop, Ho checked to Frere, who jammed with the covering stack. Ho, who had around 174,000 behind, quickly called it off.
Ka Ho: J♠8♣ 
Mallory Frere: A♠9♥
Ho was well ahead with top pair, and he remained so after the 2♠ turn and 5♣ river.

A pot of 95,000 had developed on a flop of K♥J♦10♥, in a hand between Ranno Sootla on the button and Felix Schneiders in the big blind, with Schneiders check-calling a bet of 25,000 from Sootla.
The 5♥ hit on the turn, and Schneiders couldn't withstand a double-barrel of 80,000 from his opponent.
Samuel Bovy jammed for 155,000 from the cutoff, and was called by Jozef Cibicek after he asked for a count and a brief period of deliberation.
Samuel Bovy: K♠Q♥
Jozef Cibicek: 3♠3♣
Bovy needed some help, and gained further outs to the straight after the A♠10♣4♥ flop. The A♥ turn added some more, as he could now counterfeit Cibicek.
The river favored the Slovakian however, as he improved to a full house with the 3♦.
Level: 23
Blinds: 10,000/15,000
Ante: 15,000
The players have been sent on their first 20-minute break of the day.
