With two players seeing a board of 7♥J♣10♥J♠5♣ and roughly 200,000 in the middle, Casimir Seire bet 12,000 from the big blind and Timur Vardanian raised to 200,000. Seire made the call.
Vardanian showed down K♣J♥ for trip jacks to take down a sizable pot.
Fabrice Bigot opened in early position to 25,000 before action was on Nathan Tetart in late position, who flat-called, and the remaining players folded.
The 2♦7♣10♥ flop quickly checked through to a Q♣ turn. Bigot checked again and Tetart went into the tank for about 30 seconds before putting out a bet of 32,000. Bigot stuck around and the 5♥ rolled off on the river.
Bigot checked for the last time and Tetart didn't wait long before putting in almost a pot-sized bet of 125,000. Bigot thought it over but folded before burning a time bank.
Tetart dragged the pot and is currently sitting second in chips.
Thomas Santerne raised to 25,000 in the cutoff and Raoul Refos called from the small blind. David Kaufmann then shoved all in from the big blind for 210,000 and Santerne called.
Refos then reshoved for 317,000 and turned over K♦K♥ without realizing Santerne hadn't called yet. The floor was called over and Santerne was given the decision whether to commit the chips, and he called to put both opponents at risk.
David Kaufmann: Q♥J♥
Raoul Refos: K♦K♥
Thomas Santerne: 8♦8♣
"You called even when you know he has kings? I'm confused by that call. Unless he knows something," tablemate Mario Trattou said as they saw the board fall J♠2♠3♥10♠7♥. Refos' kings stayed in front and Kaufmann busted, while Santerne handed over a double up.
"Unlucky bro," Trattou told Santerne after the hand.
"It's the game," Santerne replied, taking the beat in stride.
"Are you going to start doing cartwheels now? You were so excited to show those kings. That shit might work at Dusk Till Dawn, but not here in Cyprus. Don't go raising every hand now that you have chips," Trattou joked with Refos as the two players shared a laugh.
Seyedali Hosseinirami opened to 24,000 in early position and Jose Gonzalez Sanchez three-bet to 70,000 on the button. Giovani Torre then three-bet jammed a stack of around 500,000 from the small blind and Hosseinirami folded before Sanchez called.
Giovani Torre: A♦K♣
Jose Gonzalez Sanchez: A♥K♥
"I have two flush draws," Torre joked when he saw he was being freerolled.
The board ran out 5♠5♥A♦5♦7♦ and both players split the pot with fives full of aces.
Toru Ida was all in for his last 100,000 from the hijack, Volodymyr Kotlyk shoved for 265,000 in the small blind, and Ricardo Tannoury in middle position had them both covered and at risk.
Toru Ida: A♣Q♦
Volodymyr Kotlyk: A♦Q♣
Ricardo Tannoury: J♦J♣
Tablemate Siarhei Chudapal admitted he also had ace-queen as Ida and Kotlyk awaited their fate on the board, which came 3♦8♥2♠K♦9♣.
Tannoury's jacks stayed in front and both opponents were sent to the rail as the massive pot was pushed to Tannoury.
"Ace-queen, ace-queen, ace-queen. You're a lucky man," Chudapal told him.
Yannick Schumacher opened to 25,000 from under the gun and received a call from Priit Parmasto on the button.
Both players checked the K♣5♥2♠ flop leading to the A♣ on the turn. Schumacher bet 55,000 and Parmasto called.
Schumacher bet again on the 7♠ river for 120,000 and this time it was enough to force a fold from Parmasto.
Marc Foggin opened in middle position to 30,000 and got called from Thomas Santerne in the cutoff and from Mario Trattou in the big blind.
The 6♠4♠4♥ flop landed and action quickly checked through to a 3♣ turn. It was checked over to Foggin who took a moment and then put out a bet of 60,000. Santerne folded but Trattou called.
The 2♠ rolled off on the river and the action slowed back down and checked through. Trattou tabled K♦6♦ for top pair and Santerne mucked.
Milos Skrbic was all in for his last 218,000 from the cutoff and up against Ivan Deyra in early position.
Milos Skrbic: J♦10♦
Ivan Deyra: A♣Q♥
Deyra hit top pair on the 3♥4♦Q♦ flop, while Skrbic picked up a flush draw. The 8♣ turn also gave Skrbic a straight draw, and he hit the 7♦ on the river to complete his flush and stay alive, leaving Deyra on an extreme short stack.
Heads-up on a flop of J♥9♣2♠, Andrei Vavilonskii bet 32,000 from the button before Nathan Tetart raised to 90,000 in the big blind.
Vavilonskii called to see the 2♣ fall on the turn. Tetart then slowed down and checked.
Dario Sammartino walked by the table while the hand was in progress and Bart Lybaert held up his drink glass.
"How many," Sammartino asked.
"Three. I'm counting them," tablemate Andrea Dato replied.
"Ah, so not every hour," Sammartino added as the three players shared a laugh.
Vavilonskii then fired out a bet of 90,000 and Tetart quickly folded.
A pot of around 250,000 was already in the middle as Shuang Luo and Giovani Torre went heads-up to the 6♣5♣J♥ flop.
Torre, in the big blind, then led out for 75,000 and Luo called. The turn came the 10♠ and Torre slowed down and checked.
Luo then fired out 102,000 and Torre didn't spend too much time before tanking.
Chip leader Jose Gonzalez Sanchez was late arriving back from dinner break and returned to see his massive stack greatly reduced by a color up. "What is this," he joked with the dealer as he finally took his seat.
