2025 WSOP Europe
Players are heading on a 15-minute break.
The rest of the table was already getting up from their seats and heading off on break while Zdenek Zizka and Emilien Pitavy continued to tangle in a pot.
In a blind versus blind battle, Zizka bet 8,000 on a flop of 10♦J♦A♦ and Pitavy called. Zizka then bet 31,000 on the 7♣ turn, and Pitavy again called.
Zizka slowed down and checked the 5♠ river, and Pitavy bet 65,000. Zizka snap-folded.

A pot of at least 100,000 was in the middle, on a flop of 7♣2♦2♠, in a hand between Simon Fiala in middle position, Aleksandr Zubov in the cutoff, and Kestutis Jungevicius on the button.
Fiala checked, and Zubov fired out a bet of 25,000. Jungevicius raised to 55,000, before Fiala check-jammed to 102,000.
Zubov got out of the way, but Jungevicius called.
Simon Fiala: 7♥7♦
Kestutis Jungevicius: J♥J♠
Fiala had flopped the full house, and Jungevicius was down to two outs.
Unbelievably, it was instant service as the J♣ hit on the turn to put Jungevicius ahead, and there was no miracle one-outer on the K♥ river. A brutal beat for Fiala.

Marcin Kacprzak: A♥K♦
The A♣10♣5♣K♥2♣ board provided four clubs and Zawadowicz doubled with a flush.

The 9♣5♦4♦ flop was checked to Presiyan Tsvetanov on the button and he made it 10,000 to go. Aram Ali called while Josef Gulas folded. Both players checked the 2♦ turn and Ali bet the 6♥ river for 15,000.
With half a million in chips behind, Tsvetanov went into the tank for more than three minutes while agonising about the decision and then let go.

Alexander Fischl moved all in from under the gun for 16,000, and received calls from Emilien Pitavy and Mariusz Golinski in the blinds.
The active players checked the 6♠3♠2♦ flop and 3♦ turn to the 6♥ river, where Pitavy led out with a bet of 35,000, forcing Golinski to fold.
Pitavy tabled A♥7♦, playing the board two pair with ace-high, but Fischl had 10♥10♠ to keep him in it.

A pot of 62,000 had developed by the turn on a board of J♠J♦4♦5♠, in a hand between Martin Kabrhel under the gun, and Johannes Franz in middle position.
Throughout the entirety of this hand, Franz was rocking back and forth in his seat, one hand riffling chips, staring at Kabrhel, almost as if in a trance.
Franz took around forty seconds to check back the turn, body rocking the whole time, as the 2♥ hit on the river.
Kabrhel took around 30 seconds before firing out a bet of 36,000, and Franz, after around another 90 seconds of body movements, sent his hand to the muck, tapping the table. He asked Kabrhel to show one, but the Czech would not oblige him.

Alessio La Francesca opened from the hijack with Serkan Kuru calling out of the small blind and Seyed Dezfooli defending his big blind.
After it checked to La Francesca on the 2♦9♣Q♠ flop, he fired out a bet of 7,000. Kuru folded, but Dezfooli stuck around with a call.
The players checked a Q♦ turn to see the K♠ appear on the river. Dezfooli checked again, and La Francesca jammed, putting Dezfooli all in for his remaining 41,000. Dezfooli paused briefly before opting to fold and surrender the pot to La Francesca
