Nível 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Alessandro Adinolfo opened to 2,500 from early position before Charles Whitehouse three-bet to 8,000 from the hijack. Reigning FPS Main Event champion Mateusz Moolhuizen was forced all-in from the big blind for crumbs and he would be against two players, as Adinolfo called.

Adinolfo check-called for 6,000 on the K♣Q♠9♦ flop before the 8♠ turn checked through to the K♥ river. Adinolfo chucked out 5,000 and Whitehouse folded.

Adinolfo tabled A♣Q♦ for kings and queens to take the side pot. Moolhuizen, who was blind, first flipped over the 3♦, which was then followed by the 6♥, marking his departure.

Nível 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Remy Mougel moved all in for around 28,000 from the small blind and Fowzi Baroukh called in the big blind, while the rest of the table got out of the way.

Remy Mougel: K♣Q♣ All in
Fowzi Baroukh: A♦A♣

Mougel had run into Baroukh's aces as the 4♦6♣K♠ flop gave him some hope with top pair. The 6♠ turn took away some of his outs, while the 9♦ fell on the river to send him to the rail.

"Must be nice to hear all in when you have aces," a tablemate said to Baroukh.

"I was trying to get that gentleman in. Of course I was calling," Baroukh replied, pointing across the table to another player that had initially opened the pot.

"This is a murder table. Aces, kings, queens," another tablemate added.

Nível 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The early position player limped in before Ivan Barbuto raised to 3,700 from middle position. Mohamed El Berrak called from the hijack before Axel Bayout jammed as the bigger stack from the button. The blinds, the early position player and Barbuto folded but El Berrak decided to commit his stack of 31,500.

Mohamed El Berrak: 10♠10♣ All in
Axel Bayout: J♠J♦

Barbuto lamented his fold after seeing the K♥Q♥6♥ flop, saying he had A♥Qx. El Berrak remained behind and couldn't catch up on the 2♣ turn and 9♥ river.

As the hand wrapped up, a big pot between Fabrice Bigot and Maya Geller was brewing on Table 25.

With around 30,000 in the pot and the 10♣6♥4♥ flop on display, Bigot bet 11,000 from the big blind. Geller, the wife of poker legend Patrik Antonius, raised to 25,000, leaving herself with around 20,000 behind. Bigot went deep into the tank, staring at Geller to pick up any reads. Eventually, Bigot released his hand, and Geller took in the pot.
