In a four-bet pot to the 
flop, the action was checked to Jonathan Durand and he made it 4,500 to go. His opponent then check-raised to 15,000 and Durand double-checked his cards, shrugged and shook the head. While doing so, he exposed the 
and they went into the muck as the entire table saw them for a few seconds.

With more than 100 tables of six-handed action in play, it is nearly impossible to determine the current chip leader. But one of the players to be up there on the leaderboard appears to be Aurelien Bourgeois, who has nearly three times the starting stack.
In the most recent hand, Bourgeois had a bet worth 5,600 on the 
river pair off and he tabled the 
for the top pair. Alberto Ramos Hernandez flashed 
after he had tossed in two blue T-5,000 chips.

A new record for the Winamax Poker Open €500 Main Event is already locked up and the question now remains whether or not the operator will also set a new overall record. The other popular live poker festival, SISMIX, had created a field of 2,036 entries in the last edition in 2019.
It is not out of reach that this will be surpassed here in Madrid as a long registration period on Day 1c as well as the entire turbo heat 1d are still available for poker enthusiasts from near and far to join upon.
Damien Lombard opened to 900 and was then three-bet to 3,000 by Mathieu Gomez on the button, which Lombard called. They headed to the 
flop on which Lombard check-called for 2,100. After the turn, Lombard checked once more and then called Gomez's bet of 10,300.
Lombard jammed the 
river with the bigger stack for an effective 22,000 and that sent Gomez deep into the tank. More than two minutes passed and Gomez elected to fold, dropping below half the starting stack.

Short stack: 
Ibrahim Kiriakus:
The 
board brought no help to the short stack and Kiriakus won the pot while Lelandais shook her head.
