After just a few minutes, Paul Runcan in the cutoff already had an "all-in" card in front of him as he shoved for 23,600 on a board of 8♠5♠5♥J♦9♠ with already 60,000 in the pot.
The player to his right went deep into the tank, and a discussion started between both players.
Clearly unhappy, the hijack player eventually found a fold, and Runcan already has almost twice the starting stack.

Maximilien Scher opened to 400 from the cutoff and was called by Cedric Lellouche on the button, while Marc Sen and Nicolas Copit in the blinds also called.
The A♣4♦2♦ flop was checked through by all players.
On the 9♣ turn, Sen checked and Copit put out a bet of 700. Only Lellouche called.
The Q♠ river completed the board and, after some thought, Copit fired out a bet of 1,600. Lellouche thought it through for a moment and called.
Copit showed A♠3♠ for a pair of aces and Lellouche mucked.

On a flop of A♥3♦9♦, three players checked to find the J♦ turn.
From the small blind, Jacques Guenni bet 800 and made the big blind fold, but the under-the-gun player made the call.
The 7♠ completed the board and Guenni continued for 700. His opponent called once again but mucked his cards after Guenni flipped over A♣9♣ for two pair.
