The 38 remaining players of Day 1b are on a 15-minute break.
Jean-François Gaye opened to 2,500 from the hijack, and was called by Nicolas Noguera in the cutoff. Kostyra Zaks in the small blind went into the tank, and decided to three-bet to 12,000. The big blind and Gaye folded, but Noguera immediately four-bet to 42,500.
Zaks counted his stack, and shoved for approximately 55,000. Noguera snap-called.
Kostya Zaks: A♥J♥
Nicolas Noguera: 8♥8♣
The dealer revealed that Gaye also had A♣J♠. Zaks still hit a jack on the flop, but it came with an eight on 8♦J♦6♣. The 9♠ turn and the Q♦ completed the board, and Zaks was eliminated.

Benjamin Souriau: 9♠9♣
David Spir: A♣J♠
On a board of 2♣8♣10♠8♠4♥, Souriau's nines held so he doubled up.

A few minutes after Cécile Ticherfatine arrived at the table, Adrien Amorella, in the hijack, found himself against the player in the big blind on a board of 4♥2♥7♥J♠.
The big blind bet 3,500, but Amorella raised to 8,000. After a few seconds, the big blind called.
The Q♠ completed the board and Amorella bet 50,000. The big blind went deep into the tank, counted his stack, analyzed the board, and eventually decided to fold, giving the pot to Amorella.

On the 9♠ river, Scher checked and Rouger led out for 4,600. Zaks folded, and so did Scher.
