Marc Boyer got his last 13,000 into the middle and Danut Chisu was the one to put him at risk. The rest of the table was out of the way and the cards were already on their backs.
Marc Boyer: A♦7♣
Danut Chisu: J♥J♠
The board ran out 6♣5♣A♣3♦K♣ and Boyer flopped a pair of aces before the four-card flush put an exclamation mark on his small double.
Nível: 12
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 2,000
Mehdi Chaoui was involved in a pot worth 21,500 against Lucas Silva Rocha. The flop of 5♠7♦5♣ saw Chaoui check from under the gun to Rocha in the cutoff. Rocha put out a bet of 5,500 and Chaoui came up with a raise to 16,000. Rocha made the call and the 2♠ turn graced the felt.
Chaoui spent some time in the tank before deciding to bet 22,000 this time. Rocha quickly folded and Chaoui shipped a pot to bring him over the 100,000 mark.
Oliver Weis raised to 3,000 from the cutoff and Jon Kyte three-bet to 12,500 from the small blind. Weis fired back a four-bet to 22,000 and Kyte called to see a flop.
The flop was J♥5♥2♥ and Kyte check-called a 4,500 bet from Weis. The turn was 3♣.
Kyte checked again and called when Weis bet 14,500. The river fell 9♣ and Kyte checked again.
Weis shoved his last 61,000 and Kyte went into the tank for a few minutes before he called. Weis turned over A♥K♥ for the nut flush and Kyte flashed the before he tossed it into the muck.
Aviv Meiri opened from under the gun and Dominik Nitsche went all in for his last 6,000 chips. Meiri made the call and the cards were tabled.
Dominik Nitsche: A♦Q♦
Aviv Meiri: A♠A♥
It was looking grim for Nitsche's last four big blinds and the board sealed his fate on the turn, with 8♣9♥8♠5♣ and the meaningless J♦ being put in the middle of the table.
Nistche immediately reentered for the second time.
Walter Treccarichi and Alan Goasdoue were battling in a three-bet pot. Goasdoue was in the big blind and bet 14,000 into the 23,500 pot, on a flop of 6♥9♣9♠. Treccarichi made the call and the 2♠ appeared on the turn.
Goasdoue fired again for 23,000 and this time Treccarichi laid his hand down.
Goasdoue is nearing 200,000 chips and is among the big stacks in the field.
Action was heads up with 10,000 in the middle and K♣6♣5♠ on the board when Sylwester Fortuna bet 5,000 into a raise to 15,500 from Ken Demlakian. Fortuna called and the turn was 8♦.
Fortuna fired another 5,000 and Demlakian called. The river was 3♣.
Fortuna bet 5,000 once more and Demlakian shoved. It didn't take much thought for Fortuna to find a fold and Demlakian took the pot.
Nível: 11
Blinds: 1,000/1,500
Ante: 1,500
A completed board of 2♦3♣2♠8♥6♠ was already spread on Table 3. There were 37,000 chips in the middle and Florian Duta made a slight overbet of 40,000. Jean-Pierre Boulad was in the hijack and tanked for a while before announcing ''all in''.
Duta snap called the 29,000 chips he had left himself behind and tabled 8♠8♣ for the best possible full house. ''That's why I tanked,'' Boulad explained, as he showed his 6♦6♣ for the second-best full house.
The table was in awe of this big cooler, creating two stacks over 100 big blinds at the table.
