Ante: 12,000
Jean-Louis Etchepare moved all-in for 60,000 from under the gun and he was called by Romain Hamouche in the small blind.
Jean-Louis Etchepare: K♠9♠
Romain Hamouche: J♦J♣
Etchepare flopped top pair on K♦A♦3♣. But after the 2♥ turn, Hamouche hit the J♠ river to send Etchepare to the rail.
Action folded to Victor Dubrulle in middle position who moved all in for 93,000. David Hu made the call in the cutoff.
Action folded to Nicolas Tytgat in the small blind, who produced a three-bet to 130,000. Hu called.
On the 7♥J♠5♣ flop, Tytgat led out with a bet of 75,000, and after some thought, Hu called.
The 7♣ rolled off on the turn and Tytgat checked. Hu slid out a bet of 225,000, and after some deliberation, Tytgat folded.
Victor Dubrulle: J♥6♥
David Hu: A♠A♣
Although Dubrulle had top pair jacks he was behind Hu's aces, and was now drawing to a jack. The 9♣ river saw him heading for the exits in 115th place (€2,750).
Tytgat was down to 325,000 after the hand but appeared to have doubled-up a short time later.
Andrew Hawkins opened to 22,000 from the cutoff, then Mourad Amokrane three-bet all-in for 134,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Hawkins snap-called.
Mourad Amokrane: K♦K♣
Andrew Hawkins: A♥J♦
Amokrane hit a set on a board of 6♠10♦7♦5♠K♥ to double up.
Valentin Havasy opened to 21,000 from middle position and was faced with a three-bet to 75,000 by Nicolas Dumont in the next seat. Action folded back to Havasy, who called.
The 5♠3♦6♦ flop was checked through by both players.
On the 7♠ turn, Havasy led out with a bet of 60,000, and Dumont made the quick call.
The 2♠ river completed the board and was checked through. Havasy revealed 9♥9♣ for a set of nines and Dumont mucked.
Kader Slila moved all-in for 114,000 from middle position, then everybody folded to Florian Lebaigue in the big blind. "A premium please" he said, before quickly making the call.
Kader Slila: A♦J♦
Florian Lebaigue: A♥K♥
Already in the lead, Lebaigue found the perfect flop with 8♥A♣9♥. The 8♣K♦ runout didn't change anything and Slila was eliminated.
