Benny Glaser: 7♦7♥
Natasha Mercier: K♠Q♦
Glaser survived the flip as the board ran out 3♣9♠J♦6♠5♠ to earn him a double.
Action was picked up on the river of a board showing 2♣5♥A♠10♦6♣ and 118,000,000 alreadty sitting in the middle.
Peter Chien checked holding A♥8♣ in the small blind, while Bernhard Binder fired a bet of 65,000,000 with 4♦3♥ in the big blind.

Faraz Jaka: 9♦9♠
Leonard Maue: 10♥10♣
Jaka was in trouble and got no help from the 4♠A♣3♣ flop. However, the 9♥ turn gave him the lead with a set. But it was incredibly short-lived as the 10♠ landed on the river to give Maue a better set as the poker coach was sent to the rail.
William Blais opened to 6,000,000 from under the gun, and Benny Glaser three-bet to 13,500,000 in the cutoff while leaving a single 500,000 chip behind.

Charles Hook: Q♠Q♥
Jean-Noel Thorel: A♠K♥
