Orpen Kisacikoglu and Joao Vieira were battling blind-on-blind on a completed board of 4♦4♠2♣10♠5♠. Kisacikoglu sat in the small blind and made a pot-sized bet of 58,500, leaving himself just one T-500 chip behind.
Vieira asked for a count and spent some minutes in the tank before eventually forfeiting his cards to the dealer, seeing Kisacikoglu chip back up to above a starting stack.
Jakob Miegel raised to 4,000 from early position, after which Daisuke Ogita three-bet to 9,500. The action then folded to Morgan Lemonnier in the big blind, who reraised to 26,000.
Miegel quickly got out of the way, but Ogita stuck around with a call. The 4♥5♥5♣ flop was spread, on which Lemonnier fiddled some with his chips before deciding to put them all in.
Ogita asked for a count, and after he heard the total was 72,000, he stuck in a call to put his opponent at risk.
Morgan Lemonnier: A♥K♣
Daisuke Ogita: K♥Q♥
Lemonnier still had the best hand, but the J♥ turn saw Ogita hit his flush. No fourth heart came on the board on the 7♦ river, spelling the end for Lemonnier's first bullet.
On a completed board of Q♥9♠7♠K♣2♠, Marcelo Bonanata checked from the big blind to Boris Kolev in early position. Kolev made a bet of 30,000 chips, almost twice the size of the pot.
Bonanata spent a while in the tank before coming up with a call. Kolev tabled Q♠10♠ for a rivered flush, and Bonanata's hand was added to the muck as Kolev shipped the pot.

Today begins the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT). Thousands have descended on Paris for a 12-day poker extravaganza.
After a successful kick-off last year, PokerStars has picked up some valuable lessons, ensuring an even better player experience this time around. The exciting news: the off-the-felt activities are making a comeback, promising a ton of fun beyond the poker tables. Here's what's in store for those making the trip to the French capital city.
The first and only break of Day 1 has arrived, seeing the players get 20 minutes of free time.
Daisuke Ogita and Yauheni Tsiareshchanka were heads up on a turn of 5♣Q♦6♦5♦. Ogita sat in the big blind and made a bet of 14,000 into the pot of 25,000 chips. Tsiareshchanka put in the call and the two went off to the 7♦ river.
Ogita threw 29,500 more in the middle, around half the stack of Tsiareshchanka. Tsiareshchanka thought it over for a good while before tossing in a calling chip, after which Ogita tabled A♦K♥ for the nut flush.
Tsiareshchanka could not beat that hand as his cards disappeared in the muck, leaving him with 20 big blinds.
