Julien Sitbon kicked things off from under the gun with a raise to 16,000 and picked up a caller in Frederik Reinert in middle position.
Both players checked through the 3♣10♠J♥ flop.
On the 8♦ turn, Sitbon bet 32,000, and Reinert made the call.
The river brought the 2♥, and both players checked. Sitbon showed A♦2♦ for a pair of deuces, while Reinert held 4♣4♠ for a pair of fours, which was enough to take down the pot.

With over 40 new entries during the break, the players are now in the middle of a full redraw. Play will resume shortly.
100 players are now heading into the first 15-minute break of the day. Late registration is still open until the break ends, after which the official numbers will be confirmed.
Jovan Kenjic was all in for 182,500 and got called by Hossein Ensan.
Jovan Kenjic: 7♣7♥
Hossein Ensan: A♣A♥
It was a tough spot, but not impossible for Kenjic to find help on the board to secure the double-up. However, it ran out Q♠2♦2♣9♥4♠, leaving Kenjic with no improvement and sending him to the rail, while Ensan added to his stack.
Vladas Tamasauskas opened from the cutoff with a raise to 12,000. Action folded to Roman Hrabec, who glanced at his cards and made a three bet to over 350,000, putting Tamasauskas all in for his remaining stack. Tamasauskas made the call and the cards went on their backs.
Vladas Tamasauskas: A♦Q♠
Roman Hrabec: A♣K♦
Tamasauskas was hoping for some help from the board, but it ran out 5♣6♠K♠6♦4♦, giving Hrabec a pair of kings and eliminating Tamasauskas.
The cards were on their backs for Michael Moncek in the big blind and Ole Schemion in middle position. Moncek had some emotional support from Martin Kabrhel at the neighboring table.
Michael Moncek: A♣J♣
Ole Schemion: A♦9♣
Despite being ahead preflop, the board ran out K♠9♥3♦Q♣K♥, giving Schemion two pair and sending Moncek to a re entry.
Kabrhel could be heard with his usual “Not like that!” chants, while also hoping Moncek would end up at his table since there was an empty seat right next to him. That is exactly what happened, and Moncek is now back in the tournament seated beside Kabrhel.
The pot stood at around 75,000 and the board showed 4♠10♠10♣4♦. Marcos Skerl in the big blind bet 28,000 and was called by Juho Suutari under the gun.
The A♥ river completed the board and Skerl fired another bet of 77,000. Suutari thought it over before making the call, only to be shown Q♠10♥ by Skerl for a full house. Suutari’s cards went into the muck, leaving him with crumbs.
