Anas Tadini was almost all in blind but a mere 3,000 chips or so preflop and then tossed in the rest on a flop of 
. He was eventually called by an opponent with 
and then surprisingly flipped over his 
for trips. The

Frederic Hebette raised to 400 and received three callers including Quentin Lecomte in the big blind. After a flop of 
, all four players checked the player in the small blind then bet the 
turn for 525. Lecomte was the single caller and the river completed the board.
