Sunny Cocquempot moved all in from the hijack for 2,300,000 and Leo Choquelle called in the cutoff with the covering stack. The rest of the table folded and players flipped their cards.
Sunny Cocquempot: A♣K♣
Leo Choquelle: A♠Q♠
Choquelle was dominated and Cocquempot picked up a flush draw on the 2♥10♣9♣ flop to further damage Choquelle's chances. The turn came the 5♠ and river the 4♥. Cocquempot held and doubled up his stack.
Nolan Madene in the hijack opened to 500,000, the chip leader Jean-Côme Haye on the button three-bet to 1,475,000, then Raphael Davidou in the big blind four-bet all-in for 5,360,000. Madene quickly folded, but Haye eventually made the call.
Raphael Davidou: A♣Q♥
Jean-Côme Haye: J♠J♣
Haye stood up to film the action, only to see that Davidou flopped top pair on 5♠A♣8♣4♦6♦ to double up.
On the next hand, Haye raised to 525,000 from the cutoff. Mathis Livolant in the big blind jammed for 1,245,000 and Haye quickly called.
Mathis Livolant: A♠10♣
Jean-Côme Haye: Q♥8♥
Despite finding a flush draw on 3♠9♥J♣6♥, Haye saw Livolant double up after the A♦ river to lose his chip lead.
Action folded around to Victor Marques, who moved all in from the small blind with a short stack of 1,100,000. Victor Rials got the count and then made the call in the big blind. Marques was at risk as players flipped their cards.
Victor Marques: J♦10♥
Victor Rials: Q♣8♦
Rials got a perfect runout on the Q♦8♥K♦2♥Q♥ board, hitting two pair on the flop and a full house on the river. He won the pot and Marques was eliminated in 27th place.
