Yannis Benzerraouia from under the gun, and an opponent on the button had each put in 6.500 preflop to see the board of K♣6♥3♠.
Benzerraouia checked to his opponent, who slid out a bet of 5,500, but snap-folded in the face of a check-jam to around 100,000 from Benzerraouia.
Frederic Bebon opened to 4,500 from the button, and Illane Matti called in the big blind.
The Q♦10♠6♠ flop was checked to the J♥ turn, where Matti led out with a bet of 4,300. Bebon quickly called.
The A♠ hit on the river, and was quickly checked through. Despite the fact there had been no action, Matti sent his hand straight into the muck first to act.
"No showdown value", quipped a table mate, teasing Matti. Bebon certainly wasn't complaining, and didn't show his cards.

Narcis Vilaire opened to 2,800 under the gun, and Baptiste Pouvereau three-bet to 9,300 in the next seat. Action folded back to Vilaire, who reached for chips and four-bet to 19,300.
Pouvereau thought it through for a bit, before five-bet jamming with the covering stack. Vilaire, who had around 70,000 behind, snap-folded.
2023 Winamax Grand Finale runner-up Omar Lakhdari opened to 3,500 under the gun, and received a customer in Doo Jin Bourqui on the button.
The Q♦8♥7♣ flop was checked to the Q♠ turn, where Lakhdari check-called a bet of 6,200 from his opponent.
The 8♦ was quickly knuckled and Lakhdari found his 3♠3♥ had been counterfeited by Bourqui's A♣9♣.
A big pot of 75,000 had developed on a completed board of Q♥J♠5♥Q♦10♠, in a hand between Jean-Charles Remaud on the button and Essersi Salah in the small blind.
Salah had put out a bet of 20,000, and Remaud was mulling things over. He spent around two minutes peering at the board and his opponent, then said "I can't pass" and called with 5♣5♠ for the full house.
Salah tabled Q♣J♦ for the higher full house, and complimented Remaud effuzely on not going broke.
