173 players remain in the Main Event for 170 places in the money. They are on a 20-minute break.
Adrien Guyon raised to 10,000 from the cutoff, and was called by Alexis Ibarrola in the big blind.
Guyon continued with a bet of 7,000 on a flop of Q♣4♠9♥, but Ibarrola check-raised to 18,000. Guyon made the call.
The 3♦ came on the turn, but both players checked to find the K♥ on the river.
Guyon led out for 29,000, and Ibarrola check-called with Q♦8♠ for top pair. Guyon only had A♠4♥.
Jean-Claude Ruche raised to 10,000 from the hijack, then saw El Mostafa Belkhayate moving all-in on the button for 44,000.
Ruche talked a little bit to Belkhayate, and called.
El Mostafa Belkhayate: A♣Q♥
Jean-Claude Ruche: K♣10♣
The dealer fanned a board of J♥6♦3♦2♣5♣, and Belkhayate secured a double up.
Truquens raised to 12,000 from under the gun, then Christophe Pollet three-bet from the button to 70,000 to force his opponent to go all-in. The blinds folded, and Truquens called for his last 40,000 chips.
Truquens: A♠A♦
Christophe Pollet: A♣A♥
Both players smiled when they flipped over their cards. But Truquens' smile disappeared when the dealer fanned a flop of Q♣10♣6♣ which gave a flush draw to Pollet.
The turn 3♥ didn't change anything, but the 4♣ completed the flush, leading to Truquens' elimination.
In a blind versus blind situation between Abdelkarim Barkallah and Nicola Pezzullo, all the chips went in the middle on a flop of 10♦Q♦4♦, with Abdelkarim Barkallah slightly covered for a little bit more than 200,000 chips.
Abdelkarim Barkallah: A♠Q♣
Nicola Pezzullo: 7♦6♦
Barkallah hit top pair, but Pezzullo flopped a flush. Barkallah could still hope for a full house after the turn Q♠, but the 7♣ didn't change anything and he was eliminated.
Level: 16
Blinds: 2,000/5,000
Ante: 5,000
Paul François Tedeschi with the biggest stack of the table raised to 8,000 from middle position, then everybody folded to Paul Navarro who three-bet to 26,000 from the big blind.
Tedeschi took his time and called to find a flop of 5♣5♦8♣. Navarro continued with a bet of 16,000 and put Tedeschi deep in the tank.
For more than a minute, PFT looked at the board, and eventually raised to 100,000. Navarro immediately folded.
