Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Alexandre Landron moved all in from under the gun for 8,300 and Kostya Zaks three-bet to 15,000. Aurelie Reard took some time to consider her options before moving all in for around 60,000.

Action folded back to Zaks, who took some time to think the position through before moving the rest of his chips into the middle, around 50,000 in total.

Alexandre Landron: J♠9♠ All in
Kostya Zaks: K♥Q♦ All in
Aurelie Reard: 10♣10♥

Reard's pair of tens were ahead, and remained so after the A♠3♥4♥ flop and 7♦ turn. However the J♥ rolled off on the river to put Landron into the lead with a pair of jacks and hand him a triple up.

Reard had to console herself with winning the more substantial side pot with her pocket tens versus Zaks' king-high, sending him to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Aurelie Reard	80,000 28,000	28,000

Alexandre Landron	25,000 25,000	25,000

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player opened to 2,200 from early position and was called by the player in the next seat, Chuc Hoang on the button and Franck Jacon in the big blind.

On the J♥6♥5♦ flop, action was checked to Hoang, who put out a bet of 4,500, only to be faced with an all-in check-raise by Jacon to 14,500.

Both of the other opponents folded, and Hoang made the quick call after checking the amount of the all-in.

Franck Jacon: 8♥7♠ All in
Chuc Hoang: J♦9♦

Jacon had an up and down straight draw versus Hoang's top pair, and insufficient help arrived on the K♣ turn or 8♣ river, Hoang's pair of jacks taking the pot versus Jacon's pair of eights.
