After an open by the player under the gun, former Winamax Team Pro and staff member Aurélien "Guignol" Guiglini defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the 6♠J♦6♦ flop, leading to the 7♦ turn where Guignol led out for 2,500. His opponent called.
Guiglini fired a second barrel of 5,000 on the A♥ river, but the under-the-gun player raised to 20,000. Guiglini went into the tank, eventually called and won the hand as his opponent directly sent his cards into the muck.
Elie Cemachovic raised to 1,200 from the button, receiving a call from the small blind. The big blind squeezed to 5,500 and only Cemachovic called.
The 6♦8♠3♥ flop saw the big blind continue for 7,000. Cemachovic called.
The J♠ turn saw the big blind bet again, this time for 14,000. Cemachovic elected to raise to, what looked to be, 35,500. The big blind was forced to fold. As Cemachovic raked in the pot he showed 6♥6♠ for a flopped set.
Marius Conan opened to 1,000 from the hijack and was called by the cutoff. However Moulay Driss Toujri on the button three-bet to make the blinds fold.
The action came back to Conan who four-bet to 11,500. Toujri called.
Conan continued for 2,500 on the 2♦4♦6♦ flop and received a call, then both players checked the A♥.
On the 6♣ river, Conan bet 5,000. Toujri eventually called but couldn't do much against Conan's A♦A♠.
