Bastian Dupont opened the action with a raise to 4,000 from the cutoff. Fermin Lopez then made it 14,000 to go from the big blind, and Dupont stuck in a call.
He fired out a continuation-bet of 8,500 on the A♥K♣6♥ flop, and Dupont thought for a moment before calling, bringing the two players to the Q♥ turn.
Lopez slowed down with a check, and Dupont picked up the betting lead, setting his price at 22,000. Lopez thought for a few moments before calling, and the 7♥ river was dealt.
Action very quickly went check-check, and Lopez tabled A♦9♥ for a rivered flush. Dupont showed that his set of sixes with 6♣6♠ had been very unfortunately bested.
Action was picked up with both small blind Mario Boos and big blind Tunisianking committing 7,000 into the middle.
The Q♠J♣K♥ flop checked through, as did the 6♦ turn, bringing both players to the J♦ river. Boos checked for a third time, and Tunisianking fired out 10,500.
Boos looked his opponent up and down, and called after around a minute. Tunisianking could only produce 7♣2♦ for an airball, meaning Boos won the pot with Q♦7♦
Yves Abitbbol opened up the action with a raise to 4,500 from late position. His only customer was Hamza Dahbi, who called from the small blind.
Dahbi then checked over the 3♥J♠8♥ flop, and Abitbbol threw out a continuation-bet of 6,500. Dahbi called to see the 2♠ turn, before check-folding to a shove from Abitbbol.
Action was picked up with Walid Remanjon all in from under the gun preflop, covering his opponent Parham Ahoor, who was two seats to his left, and all in also.
Parham Ahoor: A♥J♠
Walid Remanjon: A♣K♦
The 3♦A♦10♣6♠7♦ runout gave both players top pair, but Remanjon's king kicker did indeed play, and Ahoor was sent to the rail.
Action was picked up on the turn, with the board reading A♥8♥K♥2♣ and 48,000 in the middle. Small blind Adrian Lipe checked over to middle position Remi Marrale, who moved all in for 38,500. Lipe snap-called.
Remi Marrale: K♦8♦
Adrian Lipe: Q♥10♥
It was flopped two pair under flopped nut flush, and Marrale couldn't boat up on the 6♠ river, sending him home with nothing but a bad beat story.
