After two checks, Naoun bet 11,000 on the 6♥ turn and managed to make everybody fold.

Button: A♦A♣
Gold-Dalg started to stand up to leave, but the 9♣10♦K♣ flop gave him a straight draw, which was completed thanks to the J♣7♥ runout.

Not long after he joined the tournament, WSOP bracelet winner Elie Nakache called from the hijack after a player in early position opened to 3,000 and was called once.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♣J♦7♠ where everybody checked to Nakache, who bet 3,000. The early-position player check-raised to 8,000, making the third player fold, but Nakache eventually made the call.
The 6♦ turn was checked by both players, then the early-position player bet 12,500 on the 5♣ river. Nakache raised all-in and made his opponent immediately fold. The table broke after this hand.

Olivier Piana in the cutoff opened to 2,600 and faced the button and the big blind who both called.
All three players checked the Q♦Q♥3♠ flop and the 6♠ turn to find the J♠ river where the big blind bet 3,000. Piana raised to 9,000 and was called by the button, while the big blind folded.
Without any hesitation, Piana flipped over Q♣Q♠ for quads to take the pot against his neighbor's flush with A♠7♠.

Sabry Ferhaoui was under the gun when he opened to 3,000. Lorenzo Arduini to his left called, as well as Ut Tam Vo in the hijack, the button and the big blind.
Ferhaoui continued for 8,000 on the 8♣A♣4♥ flop, but Vo was on the only one to call.
They both checked the 3♠ turn, and the K♦ didn't bring more action so Ferhaoui flipped over A♦Q♥ for top pair. Vo sent his cards into the muck.
