An opponent was just getting up and leaving the table, after being busted by Henrik Juncker.
Juncker held 9♣9♥ and his opponent had K♦J♦ on a board of 3♣J♣9♠6♠5♣, Juncker's set of nines good against his opponent's top pair jacks.
Vincent Maison opened to 2,400 from early position and Panagiotis Arkeles defended his big blind.
The 10♦4♣3♣ flop was checked through by both players.
On the Q♦ turn, Arkeles checked to Maison, who fired out a bet of 8,000, leading to a swift fold from Arkeles.

Cedric Top opened to 2,000 under the gun and was faced with a three-bet to 6,300 from Stephane Brou in middle position. Action folded back to Top, who called.
On the 8♣8♦4♠ flop, Top check-called a bet of 5,000 from his opponent.
The 10♦ rolled off on the turn, and Top check-folded versus a bet of 13,000 from Brou.
Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Gheorge Fedorca all-in for 55,600 and at risk versus Jan Boubli.
Gheorge Fedorca: K♦K♣ 
Jan Boubli: A♣K♠
Fedorca's pocket kings were in good shape for a double-up and it was confirmed by the 7♦10♣5♠7♥8♥ runout.

The players have just been sent on a 75-minute dinner break, with play scheduled to get back underway at approximately 8:45 p.m. local time.
Around 20,000 was in the middle on a board of 4♦9♣K♦2♦ in a hand between Axel Gold-Dalg, playing with his brother as an assistant for eyesight issues, and Laurent Herledan.
Herledan checked to Gold-Dalg, who slid out a bet of 11,000. Hereldan responded with a check-jam for 43,500, almost precisely the same stack as his opponent, sending Gold-Dalg deep into the tank.
Gold-Dalg looked pained at times as he pondered his decision for around five minutes, puffing his cheeks and counting his chips. With the tension building, Gold-Dalg smiled and said "Now I would really like my eyes", sending the entire table into raptures.
After a couple more minutes, a table mate asked Gold-Dalg if the clock would help him make a decision, and Gold-Dalg confirmed it probably would.
The clock was called, and with about ten seconds remaining, Gold-Dalg announced fold while turning over K♣K♥ for top set.
Herledan was astounded and turned over 5♦6♦ for the turned flush, with the entire table sending Gold-Dalg their congratulations for a superb fold, including Hereledan.
