Two-time WSOP-C ring winner Christophe Bouziane opened to 4,500 from middle position, then called after Caroline Galloni D'Istria shoved for 22,500.
Caroline Galloni D'Istria: A♥K♥
Christophe Bouziane: A♦J♥
On a board of 8♦7♠3♠4♠5♠, there was no surprise and Galloni D'Istria doubled up.
Thomas Santerne opened to 4,000 from the hijack and Said Abdel Attey defended his big blind.
The 8♠A♦6♠ flop was checked through by both players.
The 8♦ rolled off on the turn, and Attey led out with a bet of 6,000. Santerne called.
The J♠ river completed the board and was checked by both players.
Attey showed 9♠7♦ for nine-high, having missed his straight draw, and Santerne showed K♥10♠ for king-high, which was good enough to scoop the pot.
A player opened to 4,000 under the gun and was met with a three-bet to 12,000 by Valentin Havasy in the next seat.
Action folded to Meddi Ferrah in middle position, who moved all in for 82,000. The opener folded and, after asking for a count, Havasy called.

Valentin Havasy: J♣J♥
Ferrah was behind in a race and no help arrived on the Q♠9♥7♦4♠5♣ runout, Havasy scooping a chunky pot and sending Ferrah to the rail.
David Hu in the hijack bet 3,500 on a flop of 6♦Q♥6♣ and received a call by Tomislav Pavanic in the big blind.

The 4♠ river brought no more action, and Pavanic flipped over K♦5♣ for two pair. Hu didn't have a better hand, so Pavanic scooped the pot.

The A♣ turn slowed down the action and was checked by both players.
The 6♥ river completed the board and Periaux again checked. Fournier thought his next move over before firing out an overbet of 36,000, leading to a prompt fold from Periaux.
Axel Santoni opened 4,000 from the button and was called by the small blind, but David Spir in the big blind three-bet to 16,000. Santoni was the only one to call.
On a board of 10♠K♦2♣4♠, Spir continued for 17,000, then fired a second barrel of 27,000.
