Mathieu Choffardet raised to 12,000 from the hijack and the big blind defended.
The K♥3♣10♥ flop saw the big blind check-call a bet of 11,000 from Choffardet.
The 2♠ prompted the big blind to play in flow. Choffardet bet again, this time sizing up to 59,000, earning a fold from the big blind.
The small blind limped in and Theorphile Garnerin jammed from the big blind for 71,000. The small blind thought for some time before calling off the bet for his tournament life.
Small Blind: A♦7♦ 
Theorphile Garnerin: 3♥3♣
The first four cards fell 9♠A♠8♦K♦; the small blind paired their ace and had a nut flush draw for insurance, leaving Garnerin to just one out. The river fell the 3♠, giving Garnerin a set and sending the small blind to the rail, much to the shock of the whole table.
2023 Winamax Poker Tour winner Sebastien Lesoif in the big blinds decided to bet a full pile of blue chips for a total of 100,000 on a board of 3♣5♣4♦5♠7♠.
Almost 100,000 chips were already in the pot, so the player in the cutoff had a tough decision to make. But he eventually chose to fold.
Lesoif flipped over 10♣9♣ for a missed flush draw and scooped the pot to reach 400,000 chips.

The under-the-gun player raised to 8,000, the button three-bet to 16,000 and Dan Chikly cold-called in the big blind. The original raiser also called.
The action checked to the button who continued for 28,000 on the 6♠2♦4♠ flop. Only Chikly called.
The J♦ turn checked through to the A♥ on the river. Chikly took the lead for a sizeable bet of 122,000. The button thought for some time before making the fold.
Thomas Cuaz limped in on the button, the small blind completed and the big blind checked their option.
The action checked to Cuaz who bet out 3,000 on the Q♣J♣K♥ flop. Only the small blind called.
The 3♠ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Cuaz sized up to 10,000.
The 6♣ river checked to a showdown. The small blind showed Q♠10♥ for second pair, while Cuaz raked in this pot with K♠3♦ for two pair.
Cards went on their backs on Table 11 with Farid Azarkan in the small blind at risk for 35,000 against Hicham Giri in the big blind.
Farid Azarkan: A♥8♦
Hicham Giri: 8♥8♣
Azarkan could only count on an ace, but he didn't find any help on Q♥Q♠5♠J♦3♠.
Level: 16
Blinds: 2,000/4,000

In the 831st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by Nikki Limo, who is filling in for Mike Holtz, at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about her time as the Loose Cannon on the PokerStars Big Game. The first two episodes recently dropped featuring Limo squaring off against Phil Hellmuth, Alex Keating, Arden Cho, Lex Veldhuis, and Jennifer Tilly.
Limo discusses how she got cast for the show, what happened when she played "Two Truths and a Bluff," and then Kyna & Chad surprise her by offering up some bluffs of their own. Limo also delves into a big hand that she played against the "Poker Brat" that went poker viral.
The crew then talked about the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) being less than a week away, and take a look at some of the "Best Without a Bracelet" including Maria Ho, Seth Davies, and Bin Weng, just to name a few. Plus, will Phil Ivey be at the 2024 WSOP? Find out what the hosts think in this episode.
From there, they take a look at Jessica Vierling winning the WSOP Commerce $1,700 Main Event for $328,273, plus all the big winners from the Triton Montenegro including Mike Watson, Igor Yaroshevskyy, Adrian Mateos, and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau, who all won seven-figure scores!
Finally, Kyna and Nikki play a game of #PokerThrift in which they have to guess whether or not Chad bought some random poker items he found in secondhand stores in Las Vegas. Oh, and there's a preview of Raminder Singh's appearance on PokerNews' Life Outside Poker show hosted by Connor Richards.
