The pot stood at 75,000 with two players looking at a flop of 10♠9♦6♦.
Kevin Bouttier, in the hijack, checked the action to the cutoff. The cutoff bet out 55,000 and Bouttier moved all in for 76,000. The big blind called.
Kevin Bouttier: Q♦J♦
Cutoff: A♣K♣
Bouttier was currently behind the ace high of his opponent but had a monster draw. The J♣ turn gave Bouttier top pair and the 3♦ river improved him to a flush, earning him the full double up.

Raphael Kroll in the small blind opened to 18,000, then Charles Lahmeri shoved for approximately 130,000 from the big blind. Kroll went deep into the tank, and eventually called.
Charles Lahmeri: A♣5♥
Raphael Kroll: K♣Q♣
Kroll was lucky enough to flop two pair on J♦J♠K♦9♣7♠ to send Lahmeri to the rail. "He hits everything" a player said while Kroll was scooping the pot and reaching 690,000.

The cutoff opened to 14,000 and Mustapha Kanit three-bet to 47,000; nearing a quarter of his stack.
The action folded back around to the cutoff who elected to move all in, putting Kanit to the test for the remainder of his stack. Kanit chose to snap-fold.

Johnny Tabourin raised to 14,000 from the button, Frederic Pistenon three-bet jammed for his last 85,000, from the small blind, and Tabourin made the call.

Johnny Tabourin: A♥8♠
Pistenon was behind, however, the 9♦6♦9♣ flop gave him a flush draw. The 6♣ turn was no help, but the 5♦ river improved him to a flush and he doubled up.
