Charles Revil opened to 17,000 from the cutoff, and called a three-bet to 45,000 from Nuno Bellinger on the button.
The flop came 8♠6♦4♦, and Revil took quite a bit of time before check-folding to a bet of 35,000 from Bellinger.

A player opened under the gun, and received calls from Jean-Michel Sanchez and Joackim Arhab, before Jonathan Firmin produced a three-bet to 42,000 from the small blind.
Yohann Lambret was in the big blind, and he took some time for thought before producing a cold four-bet to 118,000, leaving himself around 190,000 behind.
The opener, Sanchez and Arhab got out of the way in short order, but Firmin took quite a bit of time before folding.
Lambret blew out his cheeks and raked in a nice stack of dead money.

Joackim Arhab opened to 12,000 from early position, and Marie Viana three-bet jammed for 112,500 from the cutoff.
Action folded back to Arhab, who pondered the spot. He had around 320,000 behind, and while he mused it over Viana picked up the all-in triangle and held it up to a friend on the rail to let him know she was risking all the biscuits.
She also had a wooden turtle card protector, and picked it up and started twirling it in her fingers while she waited for Arhab to make his decision.
Arhab, another OM fan, looked at his stack again, and had a peek at his cards for a final time, before moving a 100,000 stack into the middle.
Marie Viana: A♦J♦
Joackim Arhab: 9♦9♣
It was off to the races, but the jack was in the window on the J♣8♦3♣ flop, leaving Arhab on a two-outer, and Viana improved further on the J♠ turn.
Arhab could not find an unlikely escape on the 7♦ river.
Xavier Gady was all-in for 56,500 and at risk versus Michael Ghennoume.
Xavier Gady: K♥Q♠
Michael Ghennoume: A♥J♣
Gady was behind, but help arrived on the Q♥10♥4♦ flop, although Ghennoume picked up a gutshot.
Much to Gady's delight, the 3♠ turn and 6♣ river were bricks to send him the double-up.
A pot of 52,000 had developed by the river, in a button versus big blind spot between Tony Cultrera and Cecile Cazajus.
The board read K♠J♣6♥Q♠8♠, and Cazajus confidently led out with a bet of 35,000. Cultrera took a bit of time, before sending his cards to the dealer.
Level: 18
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
