Starting from 11:30 p.m., the party at Club Theatero will close out the night.

On the first hand of the day, Poker Society member and streamer Adèle "areliannn" Valour opened to 500 from the button and received a walk.
A few hands later, Serge Reocreux mistakenly limped from the button, so Brice Lafon in the big blind only had to check his option.
The flop was 2♦Q♦7♣ and Reocreux bet 500. Lafon check-called, then both players quickly checked the 4♣ turn.
On the 7♦ river, Lafon led out for 1,200 and made Reocreux fold. Lafon flipped over 7♠5♦ for trips and scooped the pot.
