Maxime Cartier in the cutoff with 18,400 and Amjad Wandoren on the button with 40,000 were both at risk against Hugo Vernhes in the big blind who had them covered.
Maxime Cartier: 8♥8♣ 
Amjad Wandoren: 8♠8♦
Hugo Vernhes: A♥K♦
Vernhes hit a full house on 4♥4♣K♥4♠7♠, so both of his opponents were sent to the rail.
French actor Nicolas Duvauchelle limped from under the gun, so Artur Lemos in the cutoff raised to 4,000. Duvauchelle made the call.
After they checked the 7♣K♠Q♠ flop, Duvauchelle checked the 6♣ turn. Lemos bet 3,000 and Duvauchelle snap-called.
Both players checked the 8♣ river so Duvauchelle flipped over Q♦10♥ for a pair to take the pot.
Level: 8
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 1,000
Heads-up on a flop of 2♠10♠7♠, Clement Lafont on the button bet 2,000 and Julien Sitbon in the big blind check-called.
Both players checked the J♠ turn leading to the 9♥ river. Sitbon led out for 2,000, so Lafont went into the tank while laughing.
He eventually folded K♦K♣ face up.
Level: 7
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
After both Sarah Ramirez in the hijack and Loumick Labaye in the cutoff checked a flop of 4♣5♦J♣, Ramirez checked the 10♣ turn. Labaye bet 2,600 and was called.
Ramirez checked again the J♠ river and saw Labaye bet 7,000. It didn't take long for the Queen's Squad ambassador to muck her cards.
The action was picked up on a board of 9♥7♥A♣2♦Q♥ after Theo Castella in the small blind bet 6,500. Yannis Bidard in the big blind raised to 17,500, so Castella went deep into the tank.
Castella eventually made the call with A♦5♦ for top pair. He caught Bidard bluffing with J♠10♥ and scooped the pot.
Level: 6
Blinds: 300/700
Ante: 700
