Heads-up on a flop of J♦8♣10♣ with roughly 36,000 in the pot, the cutoff bet 15,000 and Marius Conan in the big blind decided to check-call.
On the 3♠ turn, Conan checked and saw his opponent bet 100,000, more than Conan's stack.
Conan went into the tank and eventually chose to fold.

Next to the feature table, Winamax Poker Tour finalist Florian Vachez opened to 6,000 from the cutoff. Rudy Moreno on the button, the small blind and Karim El Rharbaoui with a big stack in the big blind called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 8♦8♥Q♦ where Vachez continued for 6,000. Moreno was the only one to call to find the 9♦ turn where both players checked.
Vachez then Moreno checked again the 7♦. "It never wins," Vachez said while flipping over 5♣5♦. He was right as Moreno scooped the pot with Q♠J♠.
