Action folded around to Nicola Grieco who called in the small blind. Thomas Middleton raised to 9,000 in the big blind and Grieco called.
He quickly check-called a bet of 7,500 on the Q♥J♠Q♣ flop. On the A♦ turn he checked again. Middleton sized up to 35,000 and Grieco folded.
Mark Teltscher and Vitalijs Korhs were heads up to the A♠2♠5♣ flop, with a bet and call of 11,000 exchanged between the two.
The 3♣ turn saw both players check, while the 9♠ river saw another pair of checks. Teltscher turned over A♠Q♦ for top pair, taking down the pot as Korhs mucked.
Hossein Ensan opened the button to 6,000. Jack O'Neill called in the small blind before Georgi Sandev raised all in for 64,000. Ensan folded and O'Neill said "first mystery gamble" before putting in the call.
Georgi Sandev: A♦5♦ 
Jack O'Neill: Q♦10♣
Sandev flopped a wheel draw on the 2♠10♥4♦ and hit on the 3♥ turn. The inconsequential Q♠ was dealt on the river and Sandev chipped up.
Sonny Franco opened from middle position to 6,000. Romain Lewis called in the hijack and Andrii Nikitin defended the big blind.
He checked the 4♠8♠4♦ flop to Franco who bet 7,000. Lewis called and Nikitin folded. Franco barrelled again on the J♣ turn for 11,000 and Lewis called again. The 6♦ river checked around and Franco showed 10♣8♣ but was bested by Lewis's A♦8♦.

The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Monte Carlo is fast approaching, kicking off on April 24. The EPT has been visiting Monte Carlo for years, and this year's edition has the potential to be the most memorable yet, with a large number of participants expected. The exclusive principality on the Mediterranean Sea is sure to attract poker players from far and wide this spring.
However, as always, EPTs are not just about poker. The EPT will provide a full range of activities for players and their guests, ensuring that there is always something to do, whether you are at the poker table or not.
The remaining 165 players have been sent on a 25-minute break.
It seemed promising for Rizzo Mendonca when he was auto all in from the big blind and his K♣J♦ held up against [Removed:548]'s K♥4♥ and Kasper Henri's K♥4♥. His stack was back up to 10,000.
However, in the very next hand, he went all-in again, this time against Ian Hamilton's open raise.
Rizzo Mendonca: K♣7♠
Ian Hamilton: A♠6♦
Unfortunately for Mendonca, the board 2♠J♥10♠6♥4♦ didn't improve his hand, and he was sent to the rail.
