2022 EPT London Main Event champion Ian Hamilton was in the hijack in a heads-up pot against Samuel Ju on the button on a flop of 6♥7♠3♥.
Hamilton bet 2,000 on the flop and Ju called. Hamilton then checked on the 9♠ turn and Ju bet 3,000. Hamilton laid it down.
Adel Naoun opened to 2,000 in middle position, Recep Aydemir called as the next player to act, and the button also called. Max Neugebauer three-bet jammed in the small blind and Naoun reshoved before Aydemir also reshoved with both players covered, prompting a fold from the button.
Max Neugebauer: Q♦J♦
Adel Naoun: A♥6♥
Recep Aydemir: 9♥9♦
Aydemir's nines were able to hold for a scoop as the board ran out 7♥2♠3♦8♠10♠ to earn him a double elimination.
Marc Fischer was all in for around 40,000 and Jean-Vincent Lehut was the one to put him at risk. The rest of the table was out of the way and the cards were already turned up.
Marc Fischer: 9♠9♣
Jean-Vincent Lehut: A♦K♥
The board ran out 4♠3♠Q♠K♣K♦ and Lehut made three kings to send Fischer and his nines to the rail.
