Over on Table 6, Viktoras Bielinis opened for 1,200 chips from under the gun and watched the action fold to Kamil Paluszkiewicz on the button. Paluszkiewicz three-bet to 3,800 and Bielinis made the call. The flop came down and Bielinis check-folded to a 7,000 continuation bet.
Table 13 saw Andrii Ratushnyi raise to 2,000 from early position and then call a re-raise to 4,400 from Henrik Hoglund on the button. Like the hand on Table 6 above, Ratushnyi check-folded when facing a 7,000 bet on the flop.
Finally, from the hijack, Matas Levanas opened with a raise to 1,700 and both Tom Blair (cutoff) and Diogo Borges (big blind) called.
Borges checked to Levanas on the flop, Levanas bet 2,700 and Blair instantly folded. Borges also folded, but it took him around 30-seconds to make that decision.
Levanas looks to be our chip leader at the moment and has 150,000 chips.

Unibet France sponsored player Charles Bonnet was all-in for his last 11,000 chips, his tournament hopes pinned to the in front of him. Bonnet needed to avoid a king or queen because Ramunas Granskas called the all-in bet with .
Sadly for Bonnet, the door card of the flop was a king and the fact there were two hearts present meant he was now drawing to a single non-heart three. The was the turn and this was followed onto the river by the and with that Bonnet was gone.
