With around 20,000 in the middle, two players were looking at a full board of 3♦6♦7♣K♥3♣.
Alexane Najchaus, in the big blind, checked. Arthur Lacroix, in the hijack, checked back. Najchaus rolled over K♦9♥ for a turned pair of kings, securing her this pot.
Alexandre Vollet raised to 7,000 from the button, receiving calls from Abel Pruchon and Bruno Fuentes, in the respective blinds.
All three players checked the 3♠9♣K♥ flop through to the 10♠ on the turn. Both the blinds checked again and Vollet placed a delayed continuation bet of 13,000. Pruchon responded with a raise to 38,000 and Fuentes quickly folded. Vollet soon followed suit.
Daniel Pereira limped from the small blind, and his friend Jordan Dumas checked his option from the big blind.
They both checked the 7♥3♠6♦ flop and checked the 6♣ turn leading to the 3♥ river where Pereira Henriques checked again.
"Pot" announced Dumas, puttingg 10,500 in front of him. Pereira Henriques went into the tank and called. "Full !" Dumas screamed while slamming 5♣3♦ on the table. His reaction made everybody laugh at the table.
Hugo Loustau opened to 6,000 from the hijack, then Thony Sjoelund to his left three-bet all-in for 9,000. Loustau didn't wait to call.
Thony Sjoelund: Q♠10♣ 
Hugo Loustau: K♣J♦
The board of 5♥7♥3♣6♦A♠ didn't help Sjoelund, who was eliminated.
The pot had grown to approximately 50,000 with two players looking at a board of 10♥4♠J♥6♦.
Kiryl Vatayeu, in the big blind, checked the action to Fabrice Ferrando, on the button. Ferrando bet out 32,000 and Vatayeu moved all in for 118,000. Ferrando went deep into the tank, finally choosing to fold.

Late registration for Day 1a closed at the end of Level 13. A total of 212 entries were recorded in this first flight of the 2024 WPO Bratislava Main Event, which is slightly fewer than last year's 239 entrants.
The day will end when 35 players remain, and they will all be in the money.
Maksym Ronshym, on the button, raised to 7,000 and Alexandre Vollet, in the small blind, three-bet to 17,500.
The action fell on Quentin Descotte, in the big blind, who cold four-bet to 39,000. Ronshym made a quick fold, while Vollet went deep into the tank. Vollet thought for some time before sliding his cards into the muck.
An all-in and call situation occurred on Table 52. On a flop of 9♦K♣6♣ with 49,000 in the pot, Nicolas Dion in the big blind was at risk for 47,000 against Julien Sitbon on the button.
Nicolas Dion: A♦9♠
Julien Sitbon: K♦10♦
The 5♦3♠ runout completed the board and Dion was eliminated by Sitbon, who has now more than 300,000 chips.
The pot stood at approximately 110,000 with two players navigating a full board of J♠2♥4♥Q♣7♥.
Dylan Cechowski, in the big blind, checked the action to Victor Fryda, who was under the gun. Fryda placed a near pot-sized bet of 100,000, sending Cechowski into the tank.
Cechowski, agonised by his decision, thought for nearly four minutes before finally laying down his hand. Fryda was quick to show A♥4♦ having turned his pair of fours into a bluff.
