Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Michel Leibgorin raised to 1,200 from middle position and was called by Olivier Paris in the small blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♠6♥4♥ and Leibgorin continued for 1,500. Paris check-raised to 4,000 but Leibgorin quickly three-bet to 9,500 to make Paris fold.

"Oh, my friend!" Leibgorin joked. "Stop attacking me," Paris answered. "It's only the second time," Leibgorin added while taking the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Clement Michaud Axel Bayout Nicolas Antouard

At a very friendly table, Idir Haiche opened to 1,200 from under the gun and was called five times.

The dealer fanned a flop of 5♣J♣Q♥ and after several checks, Clément Michaud in the hijack bet 2,000. Abdulaziz Khdir in the cutoff called, as well as Haiche and François Rognon in middle position.

Rognon led out for 4,000 on the J♥ and was called by Michaud and Khdir to see the 2♦ river that both Rognon and Michaud checked.

Khdir bet 8,000, Rognon folded but Michaud eventually made the call with 7♥5♥ for two pair. Khdir only had 10♠9♦ so Michaud scooped the pot, only two days after he won the Mystery Bounty ring.

Hervé Gouzil opened to 1,200 from the cutoff and was called by Michael Birchler in the big blind.

In the next hand, Gouzil raised to 1,200 but Ange Besnainou to his left three-bet to 4,300 to make Gouzil fold.

While Omar Lakhdari was taking his seat, Gouzil then raised for the third time to 1,200 from middle position. Michael Birchler now on the button three-bet to 4,500 and Gouzil called.

Both players checked a flop of Q♣8♠7♣ but Gouzil bet 4,000 on the 2♦ turn. Birchler raised to 15,000 and Gouzil folded.
