Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Mickael Faurot opened to 1,500 from the button, and both Sofiane Drissi in the small blind and Jean-Paul Charbit in the big blind called.

All three of them checked all the way through a board of 10♠5♠K♦4♥J♦. Drissi was supposed to reveal his cards first, but he sent his cards into the muck. Charbit had A♣9♠, but it wasn't enough to win as Faurot had 2♦2♥.

On the next hand, Charbit limped so Stéphanie Hague only had to check her option.

Both of them checked the J♦4♦6♣ flop. But on the 4♥ turn, Charbit bet 1,800. Hague called, but checked back and mucked on the 10♠ river after Charbit showed K♣6♥ for two pair.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mickael Faurot	115,000 115,000	115,000
Stéphanie Hague	25,500 24,500	24,500

The 10♠7♠Q♥ flop and 4♣ turn were checked through by both players.

On the 10♥ river, Cousin led out with a bet of 3,600, only to be met with a raise to 12,000 from Berdugo. After some thought, Cousin folded.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Around 11,000 was in the middle on a board of Q♠6♦7♥K♣ and action was checked to Eric Lamaze, who fired out a bet of 5,000. Both Rony Halimi and Cid Ghillain called.

On the 10♥ river, Ghillain led out with a bet of 16,000. Halimi folded and after some thought, Lamaze called.

Ghillain showed 9♦8♣ for the rivered ten-high straight, and Lamaze mucked his hand. Ghillain slammed the table in celebration as he raked in the pot.
