Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Three-way on a flop of 4♠2♦10♣, Omar Lakhdari in the small blind bet 2,400, Philippe Ktorza in the big blind folded and Anthony Mercier in middle position called.

On the 7♦ turn, Lakhdari asked for 8,600. Mercier called once again to see the 7♣ river where Lakhdari checked.

Mercier took this opportunity to bet 13,800. Lakhdari went into the tank, counted his stack and pushed his pile of blue chips forward. Within a fraction of a second, "all-in and call" was heard and both players flipped over their cards, with Lakhdari at risk for a little bit less than 60,000 chips.

Omar Lakhdari: A♦4♦ All in
Anthony Mercier: 4♥4♣

Lakhdari had two pair and a missed flush draw, but Mercier had a full house so he scooped this big pot while Lakhdari was eliminated.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

After Mathias Marza limped from middle position, Julien Mariani in the cutoff raised to 2,100. He was called by the big blind and Marza completed.

Mariani made a continuation bet of 2,100 on the 10♦5♣J♠ flop and Marza was the only one to check-call.

Then on the Q♥ turn, the 6-max French champion fired a second barrel of 7,500. However Marza check-raised to 20,000, so Mariani went deep into the tank.

"You have eight-nine or king-nine?" he asked. "I can't have ace-king?" Marza answered. "Impossible" added Mariani, who moved all-in for a total of approximately 30,000. Marza snap-called.

Julien Mariani: J♥J♦ All in
Mathias Marza: K♦9♥

Mariani ran into Marza's straight and didn't find any help with the 2♦ river.
