Four players saw a flop of 9♣3♦2♣, with 10,400 in the middle. Action was checked to preflop raiser Vivien Dumont in middle position, who fired out a bet of 6,000. Only Theo Milion in the small blind called.
The 10♣ turn was checked to the 4♣ river, bringing one-card flush possibilities, and Milioni led out with a bet of 11,000.
Dumont took quite a bit of time, checking his cards on at least five occasions, before making the call.
Milioni smiled wryly and turned over 5♦4♦, for the rivered pair of fours, and it took Dumont a good twenty seconds to realise his 10♦9♥ for two pair was good.
In a button versus big blind spot, a pot of 32,000 had developed on a completed board of 8♠7♥8♦8♣2♣, in a hand between Dan Allouche and Alexandre Hubin.
The all-in triangle and 52,500 chips were in front of Allouche on the button, and Hubin was in the tank.
After around 90 seconds, after a blow of the cheeks, Hubin open-folded 6♥6♠.

The players have been sent on their second 20-minute break of the day.
Thibaut Gerbain opened to 2,300 from the cutoff, and Valentin Albert called on the button.
On the Q♦10♠9♦ flop, Gerbain check-called in the face of a bet of 2,100 from Albert.
The same pattern followed on the 9♣ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 8,000 from Albert.
The 10♦ river led to a double-paired board, and Gerbain checked once more. Albert slid out a bet of 20,000, and Gerbain check-jammed for around 48,000.
Albert folded quickly enough, flashing the Q♣, and although it was in French beyond the level of this reporter, it appeared likely Gerbain was lamenting his opponent's decision as he discussed the hand with his opponent, although he did not show.
Samy Hazon opened to 2,000 from the cutoff, before being faced with a three-bet to 6,000 from Sam Jakubowicz on the button. Action folded back to Hazon, who called.
The flop came Q♦Q♣8♥, and Hazon wasted little time in check-folding versus a bet of 3,000 from Jakubowicz.
David Narboni, Sebastien Guidez and Steven Riguet had each put in 6,500 preflop from the cutoff, button and small blind respectively, to see a flop of K♦8♦5♣.
Action was checked to Narboni, who slid out a bet of 5,000. Guidez called, but Riguet check-jammed for 52,500.
Narboni, who had 13,500 behind, took quite a bit of time to think but decided to wait for another spot, while Guidez also quickly folded.
Riguet showed 8♣8♥ for a set of eights and raked in the pot.
Adrien Decramer is also at the table, and is sporting a very healthy 188,000 stack.
