Tony Tran
Tony Tran

Three ways to the {k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades} turn, the action checked to Maxime Petitprez and he bet 11,500. Tony Tran check-raised to 33,000 and was called by Miguel Martinez with Petitprez also coming along.

All three players checked the {q-Hearts} on the river and Tran's {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a set of nines won a very healthy pot.

Leo Margets moved all-in from middle position for 27,500 before Daewoong Song shoved on the button. The blinds folded, leaving Margets at risk.

Margets was well behind until the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop, making broadway to take the lead. The {10-Hearts} turn {10-Hearts} brought some chop outs, but the {k-Diamonds} river was safe for Margets to double her stack.

Addamo went into the tank for several minutes before making the call. Rocco showed {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for full house to secure the double up as Addamo showed {10-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a straight.

Alexandra Botez was all in for the last of her short stack in a three-bet pot against Ignacio Benitez and Thomas Eychenne.

Benitez bet on the flop of {3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Eychenne jammed for around 60,000 to get a fold out of the Platinum Pass winner.

Alexandra Botez: {k-}{q-}
Thomas Eychenne: {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Botez had been out-flopped but she picked up some outs with a straight draw on the {j-Clubs} turn. Nonetheless, the {5-Diamonds} river bricked off and Eychenne scooped the pot as the popular chess streamer was eliminated, while Benitez revealed he had folded the best hand.
