Helene Jullien was forced all-in from the big blind for her last 5,000 on the bubble. Jonathan Guez opened to 24,000 from early position, and all other players folded.
Helene Jullien: Q♣8♠ 
Jonathan Guez: 9♣7♠
Jullien looked in good shape to prolong the bubble, and she was ahead after the 4♠2♥2♠ flop and 4♦ turn, but the 9♠ hit on the river, much to the watching crowd's delight.
Julien Gadanho opened to 20,000 under the gun and was called by Nolan Madene on the button, Jonathan Panepinto in the small blind, and Christophe Schild in the big blind.
All four players checked the 9♦9♥2♣ flop, but on the 7♥ turn, Schild moved all in for 25,000. Everybody called.
On the 5♥ river, Panepinto shoved as well for 100,000. Gadanho folded, but Madene snap-called with 2♥2♦ for a full house. “I knew it,” replied Panepinto instantly as he tabled A♥Q♥ for the nut flush.
Schild showed K♥8♥ for the second-best flush, and Madene sent both opponents to the rail to reach 1,500,000 chips.
Suat Ajdini was all-in for 70,000 and at risk against Florian Chabert.
Suat Ajdini: A♥K♥
Florian Chabert: K♠10♠
Ajdini looked in good shape, but Chabert hit the turn on the 6♠6♦8♠10♦4♦ runout, while Ajdini bricked it.
Alban Vormese was getting up out of his chair, and his chips were being moved to Neil Guellal, after Vormese's 7♦7♠ came unstuck against Guellal's A♠Q♣ on Q♦2♠2♦Q♥6♠.
Christophe Benete opened to 6,000 from the cutoff, and Jimmy Metzger defended the big blind.
On the A♦8♥2♠ flop, Metzger check-called versus a continuation bet of 4,500 from Benete.
The same pattern followed on the 7♣ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 12,500 from Benete.
The 10♥ river completed the runout, and Metzger checked once more.
Benete pulled the top of his Olympique Marseille training jersey up over his mouth and rested his head with his hand under his chin, before moving all in with the covering stack.
Metzger had around 57,000 behind and looked pained. Suddenly he flicked in a calling chip after a relatively brief period of thought.
Benete tabled A♠7♥ for two pair, and Metzger was well behind with Q♥2♥ for fifth pair deuces.
Gregoire Gradat was all-in for around 60,000, and at risk against Louis Berard.
Gregoire Gradat: A♣7♣
Louis Berard: A♠J♥
Gradat was crushed, and he wished the table good luck after he bricked the Q♣4♥4♠9♥8♥ runout, Berard's jack kicker playing with his ace-high.
Kamalle Belaidouni opened to 4,000 from the hijack, and was met with a three-bet to 12,000 from Regis Baeriswyl in the hijack.
Action folded back to Belaidouni, who asked to see Baeriswyl's stack, before four-bet jamming with the covering stack.
Baeriswyl, who had around 33,000 behind, had a final peek at his cards, shrugged his shoulders and made the call.
Regis Baeriswyl: 8♥8♦
Kamalle Belaidouni: A♣J♣
It was a fair fight, and Baeriswyl remained ahead after the 10♣7♥3♦ flop.
The 7♣ turn paired the board and gave Belaidouni the flush draw, and he hit the 9♣ river to send Baeriswyl to the rail.
