Around 15,000 was in the pot in a blind versus blind battle and the flop showing Q♦6♠8♥. Jonathan Khalifa then led out for 7,200 and Daniele Sacchi raised to 17,200.
"You don't have queens for sure. I don't put you on eights or sixes," Khalifa said before moving all in. Sacchi quickly called for around 40,000.
Daniele Sacchi: A♣Q♣
Jonathan Khalifa: K♣K♥
"Ace-queen? That's exactly the hand I put you on," Khalifa said. The board ran out 4♦4♣ and Sacchi couldn't improve against Khalifa's kings and was sent to the rail.
"Can I have a big hand, too? Or does it only work for you?" a tablemate joked with the suddenly big-stacked Khalifa after the hand.
Stephen Nahm opened to 1,800 from under the gun and was called by Enis Rouissi from the hijack.
Rouissi, who finished in fourth at EPT Paris' FPS Main Event, called a bet of 2,000 on the 9♥8♠4♠ flop.
The 7♥ turn checked through to the 8♦ river, where Nahm check-called a bet of 2,500.
Rouissi turned over A♠9♣ and Nahm mucked his hand.
Alexandre Barbaranelli was all in for his last 10,000 with A♥8♦ and was at risk to the J♠10♠ held by Nicolas Nabet.
Nabet made two pair on the Q♠J♣10♥ flop and improved to a flush after the 7♠ turn and 5♠ river to send out his opponent.
Heads-up on a board of 6♠5♥7♥9♣, Jorge Duarte Carvalho bet 10,000 from early position and Patrick Clarke called on the button.
The river came the 8♥ and Duarte Carvalho moved all in for 27,000. Clarke spent around two minutes in the tank before folding.
Duarte Carvalho showed him 10♥10♠ as he took the pot.
Team PokerStars Pro Sam Grafton has recently joined the field.
Mats Ullereng opened to 1,600 from under the gun and was called by Benjamin Bellaiche from early position. Jean Ploch three-bet to 4,600 from the hijack and was called by both players.
The J♥8♠4♠ flop checked through to the 7♦ turn. Ullereng bet 7,000 and only Bellaiche called.
Ullereng checked on the 6♥ river and snap-called when his opponent fired out 7,500.
Bellaiche immediately tapped the table, turning over Q♠10♠ for a missed flush draw. Ullereng turned over 10♣10♦ to claim the pot.
Sebastien Maestrati had a raise of 7,000 in front of him from the small blind before Ilan Cohen moved all in for 34,000 in early position. Maestrati called.
Ilan Cohen: A♣K♣
Sebastien Maestrati: J♣J♠
Cohen couldn't look and lowered his head toward the ground as the dealer spread out the 6♠5♦Q♠3♦9♣ board. He finally peeked at the cards and realized he hadn't connected against Maestrati's jacks, sending him to the rail.
A big pot was brewing on Table 25, with around 55,000 in the middle on the 5♣4♠2♣5♠ board.
Alexandre Renoux and Vahe Ter-Khachatryan checked from early and middle position before Abd El Mannan Qasem bet 10,000. Both opponents called.
Fireworks failed to ignite on the K♦ river as the action was checked through to showdown. Qasem tabled A♦A♥ and took in the pot.
As the hand played out, POwer Path winner Gerard Carbo joined the table for Bullet #2 following his elimination before the break.
Diana Kalietina raised to 1,700 on the button, Benjamin Bruneteaux moved all in for 9,000 in the big blind, and Kalietina called.
Benjamin Bruneteaux: 3♦3♣
Diana Kalietina: A♦8♥
The K♦4♥Q♠ flop kept Bruneteaux in the lead, while the turn came the 3♠ to give him a set. The river was the 7♦ and Bruneteaux doubled up.
Eusebiu Jalba was the chip leader at this table with 80,000. Ramon Colillas and Fintan Hand were seated nearby, as was Marle Spragg.
