PokerNews caught the action as Kenny Hallaert, in middle position, and Yoann Cook, on the button, were both all in and at risk against Igor Zolotukhin, in the cutoff.
Kenny Hallaert: 6♣6♠
Yoann Cook: A♠K♦
Igor Zolotukhin: 8♥8♠
The board ran out 4♥K♥2♣4♦3♠; Cook paired his king on the flop to eliminate Hallaert and stay alive, winning a big pot in the process.
In a three-bet pot to the 5♣4♦2♦ flop, Fabrice Fort and Georgios Karakousis got the stacks into the middle with near identical stack sizes.
Fabrice Fort: Q♥Q♦
Georgios Karakousis: 3♠3♥
The 9♦ turn and 5♥ river brought no change and the stacks were counted. Fort doubled for 29,100 to leave former EPT London Main Event runner-up Karakousis short. His last few blinds vanished shortly after, before the table broke.
On a heads-up flop of J♠6♠5♣, Pierre Moreira bet 2,700 from under the gun and chip leader Benjamin Gros called on the button. The same action repeated on the 8♥ turn for 6,500 and on the A♥ river for 17,500, albeit Gros only came along very reluctantly on the final bet.
Moreira rolled over the J♦J♥ for a flopped set of jacks to win a healthy pot, putting a dent into the big stack of Gros.
Jack Hardcastle raised to 2,400 from under the gun and Ali Rahmouni three-bet to 8,100 from the small blind. Hardcastle then four-bet all in and Rahmouni called for 35,500. Players flipped their cards, with Rahmouni at risk.
Ali Rahmouni: A♦K♦
Jack Hardcastle: A♠Q♣
The board ran out 7♦9♥4♦10♥7♥. Rahmouni held with his ace-king high and the sevens on board to win the pot.
Loris Andre raised to 2,500 from early position, receiving one call from Maria Konnikova, in middle position.
The 4♣K♦3♦ flop checked through to the 5♣ on the turn.
Andre made a delayed continuation bet of 3,000, which prompted a swift fold from Konnikova.
Two players saw the A♣K♥2♠10♥ turn and Fabian Rolli checked before Andreia-Elena Coman fired a bet of 6,600 into the pot of about 11,000. Rolli thought about it for a few moments and made the call.
The 8♦ completed the board and Rolli checked once more before being faced with a bet of 8,500. This time he tanked for about 30 seconds before passing his cards back to the dealer.
Paul-Adrian Covaciu raised to 2,200 from late position, Marle Spragg called on the button, and Paul-Adrian Covaciu called in the big blind.
The flop came 7♣9♥4♠. Fryda checked and Covaciu bet 3,500, which both Spragg and Fryda called. The turn was the J♦ and all three players checked.
The river came the 6♦. Fryda led out for 12,800, which was enough that Covaciu and Spragg folded to give him the pot.
Spain's Jokin Mugica Barandiaran four-bet all-in and was called two ways by the table big stacks Antoine Rahal and Giuseppe Zarbo. It was then Rahal who isolated on the Q♦9♦5♣ flop and Zarbo folded.
Jokin Mugica Barandiaran: K♠K♥
Antoine Rahal: A♥Q♣
The overpair held on the 4♠ turn as well as 6♦ river for Mugica Barandiaran to triple up and surpass both opponents.
Ashley Crepiat raised to 3,000 from middle position. Jacques Guenni called in the small blind.
The 2♥5♥8♦ flop checked through to the K♠ on the turn. Guenni check-called a bet of 2,500 from Crepiat.
The 7♦ river saw a repeat of the action, this time Crepiat sized up to 5,500. Upon being called, Crepiat tabled K♥J♥ for a pair of kings good enough to win this pot.
With some 16,000 in the middle to the Q♣2♣2♦A♥10♣ river, Mathieu Choffardet announced all-in. Daniel Smiljkovic beat him into the pot as he instantly called to put his last 16,400 over the line.
Choffardet was caught on a move with the 4♦3♦ and Smiljkovic doubled with K♦2♠ for trip deuces.
