Ange Besnainou opened to 3,000 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 12,000 by Fabien Houvenaghel in middle position. Action folded back to Besnainou, who called, leaving himself about 13,000 behind.
On the 10♥Q♣8♦ flop, Besnainou checked to his opponent, who swiftly moved all in, with Besnainou making the quick call to put himself at risk.
Ange Besnainou: 8♣8♠
Fabien Houvenaghel: A♣A♦
Besnainou was in great shape with a set of eights against Houvenaghel's rockets, and no unlikely escape was provided by the 10♠ turn or K♠ river, with Besnainou exclaiming "Yes!" and pumping his fist as the king landed to confirm his double-up.

Around 30,000 was already in the middle on a board of 7♣A♥4♠2♣.
It appeared likely Nicolas Nabet had then bet 13,000 on the turn, Marc Sen had moved all in for 31,000 and Mohammed Aissani had called Sen's all-in, with the decision on Nabet. Nabet thought it through for a while before calling.
The 10♠ rolled off on the river to complete the board and both active players quickly checked.
Sen showed A♦10♦ for the rivered two pair, causing Nabet to chuck his A♠Q♥ on the table in disgust. Aissani showed A♣5♣ for a worse ace than both of his opponents, although he had plenty of draws on the turn.
Seeing Aissani's cards only seemed to annoy Nabet further, who was muttering to himself and cursing his misfortune for some time after his opponent raked in the pot.
Someone at the table remarked Sen was "bullet proof".

Vitalie Berdaga opened to 2,100 from early position and was called by an opponent, before facing a three-bet to 9,200 by Jean Weber on the button. Only Berdaga called.
On the J♠8♠10♥ flop, Berdaga led out with a bet of 10,000. Weber pondered the spot for a moment, before moving all in for around 30,000. Berdaga made the quick call to put himself at risk.
Vitalie Berdaga: J♥10♠
Jean Weber: K♣K♣
Berdaga was ahead with two pair versus Weber's overpair kings, and seemed set for the double-up after the 9♥ turn.
However the K♥ rolled off on the river to give Weber a set of kings, and on confirming he was covered, Berdaga said his goodbyes to the table and departed.

Matthieu Hollaender opened to 3,200 under the gun and was called by Alexandre Amiel in middle position.
On the 2♠J♥9♦ flop, Hollaender continued with a bet of 2,200 and Amiel called.
The 4♣ rolled off on the turn, and Hollaender slowed down, checking to his opponent. Amiel slid out a bet of 4,100 and Hollaender called.
The 2♥ river completed the board, and Hollaender led out with a bet of 11,500, with Amiel swiftly calling.
Hollaender showed Q♣10♣ for queen-high, having missed his straight draw, while Amiel had K♠J♠ for a pair of jacks, sending him the pot.
