With already around 10,000 chips in the middle, Pierre Neuville threw in a 7,500-bet from first position on the turn.
The board was 
and he was up against Justin Smith to his left and Jordi Urlings in the small blind. Smith thanked for a moment before making the call, Urlings quickly folded.
The 
appeared on the river and Neuville checked to his neighbor. Smith went all in for 11,500 and Neuville folded.
There's a lot of action on table 4. Ben Heath, Caitlin Hall and Vladimir Troyanovskiy are the most notables names at that table. Four-way, five-way or even six-way to the flop isn't an exception.
In one of the last hands before the break, Christophe Larquemin raised to 450 from first position, Karzan Hamarash, to his left, made the call. Ben Heath raised it up to 1,650 and Caitlin Hall threw in a four-bet to 3,700.
Larquemin called, Hamarash got out of the way and Heath paid to see the 
flop.
Larquemin front-bet 3,250, which both, Heath and Hall, called. The turncard was the 
and now it was checked to Hall. She threw in a bet of 5,800, leaving her with only 7,600 behind.
Larquemin folded and it was up to Heath. He check-raised to 15,000 and Hall went in the tank.
She thought about it for several minutes but eventually folded her hand.
In the next hand, she bet 600 on the 
flop and Michael Ho was her only opponent. He called and both checked the 
turn. The 
landed on the river and Hall checked to Ho.
He put out a 1,600-bet and Hall tanked again. "I wish I hadn't acted so tilted", she said. "That would have made my river decision a lot easier."
After a couple of minutes she threw in a 5,000-chip to call and Ho snap mucked his hand, boosting Hall's stack up to 12,000.
The table of Fabrice Soulier has seen the addition of Aleksandar Spadijer and Vlado Banicevic, and both players from Montenegro have been able to increase their stacks already. So did Soulier, who just lost a small pot to Sven Magirius.
Soulier raised to 350 and Magirius called, as did Luca Giovannone in the big blind. On the 
flop, Giovannone checked and Soulier bet 575. Only Magirius called and the fell on the turn. and Soulier checked. Magirius bet 1,100 and that ended the hand right there.
[Removed:155] raised from early position and Yung Hwang as well as Nariman Yaghmai called. On the flop, Yaghmai checked and Brand bet 300, receiving calls from Hwang and Yaghmai. The 
turn and 
river were both checked and Yaghmai showed the 
, Brand had that beat with 
and Hwang mucked.
Shortly after, Ghanim Dashti raised to 300, Hwang called and Dmitry Yurasov three-bet to 1,200 in the cutoff. Dashti four-bet to 2,500 and Hwang folded, Yurasov called. On the 
flop, Dashti bet and Yurasov quickly folded.
On the four-way flop of 
, Konstantinos Nanos bet 475 and Jorryt van Hoof called. One opponent folded and Jens Luebbe in the big blind also called. The 
on the turn was checked by all three remaining players. On the 
turn, the dealer motioned that Luebbe had checked, but the German clarified that wasn't the case.
Luebbe then bet 3,500 and that forced folds from Nanos and van Hoof.
Vladimir Troyanovskiy just lost a bunch of chips to his neighbor. He called a 6,650-bet on the river, but couldn't beat his opponents flush. He is down to a little more than one-third of the starting stack.
So far, Caitlin Hall is the only female in the field today. Hall is at the same table as Troyanovskiy and not doing great either. She almost lost half of her initial 30,000 chips.
She's chatting a lot with Ben Heath, who sits to her right. Heath hasn't been involved in much action so far.
Charlie Carrel threw in a single 5,000-chip on the river, with the board reading 
. He was up against Tibor Nagygyorgy and the qualifier from Hungary needed some time to think about his river action.
He eventually decided to call but immediately regretted his choice. Carrel showed 
for a full house and that bested the 
Nagygyorgy was holding.
On the next hand, Carrel helped out Viatcheslav Buldygin with some math. The Russian was in first position and playing with his chips. "You know 3x is 450, right?", Carrel asked Buldygin.
He then indeed raised to 450, which got him the blinds and antes.
On the five-way flop of , the action checked to Mahmood Rasheed and he bet 1,750. Martin Kozlov raised to 4,800 from the cutoff and the other players including Stephen Zesinger folded, Rasheed called.
On the turn, Rasheed checked and Kozlov bet 7,500, Rasheed check-raised to 35,000 and Kozlov called all in.
Kozlov:
Rasheed: 
The Irishman had been running over the table previously and also made quads, but this time he would see the same fate against him, as the 
river made Kozlov quads. The Aussie, who won a bracelet at the 2016 World Series of Poker, doubled for 26,900 and put a major dent into Rasheed's stack.
Koray Aldemir has sat down at the table of Brian Altman, Adrian Mateos and Nick Petrangelo while Viatcheslav Buldygin faces Charlie Carrel and Paul Newey.
Furthermore, the first player has lost the entire stack and that unfortunate honor belongs to Norwegian qualifier Johnnie Saksvik.
