Jorden Verbraeken: J♣J♦

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On the feature table, Florence Mazet opened to 4,000 from the hijack and was called by the cutoff and by Gus Hansen in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♦Q♠A♦, and Mazet continued for 4,000. The cutoff folded, but Hansen check-called.

The turn was the 3♦. Mazet fired a second barrel of 12,000, and Hansen check-raised all-in for 37,500. Mazet snap-called.

Gus Hansen: A♠3♣ All in
Florence Mazet: K♦Q♣

Hansen was in the lead with two pair. But Mazet hit a flush with the 5♦ river to eliminate Hansen.

Level 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The action was caught as the small blind was all in and at risk for their last 23,500, against Serge Gielbartowicz, on the button.

Small Blind: A♥K♦ All in
Serge Gielbartowicz: A♣K♠

The hand looked overwhelmingly likely to be a chopped pot until the first four cards landed 3♠3♣A♠9♠ giving Gielbartowicz a flush draw. The 5♠ river completed that draw and Gielbartowicz sent his opponent to the rail.

The hijack raised to 3,200 and Rachid El Yaacoubi three-bet to 7,500 from the small blind. The hijack moved all in and El Yaacoubi snap-called.

Hijack: 10♥10♦ All in
Rachid El Yaacoubi: K♥K♦

Ollie Garland

Level 10 : Blinds 700/1,400, 1,400 ante

The pot stood at approximately 20,000 with two players looking at a board of J♦J♠Q♦4♥.

Big Blind: Q♥9♠ All in
Edgaras Genovilis: J♥7♥

The big blinds hero call ran into the trips of Genovilis and they were sent to the rail.
