*Denotes three-way deal
The players have been sent on their first 20-minute break of the day.
Action folded to Alex Sampirisi who opened to 250,000 from the button. Christophe Pommier three-bet to 550,000 from the small blind and Sampirisi called.
The players saw the 6?4?6? flop and Pommier checked. Sampirisi moved all in and Pommier called.
The cards were held face down for around 1-minute to wait for action on the other table, and then the players flipped their hands.
Christophe Pommier: A?6?
Alex Sampirisi: 5?5?
Pommier had flopped trips, and he only improved on the A? turn.
The 9? river secured Pommier the double up, just a few hands before the first break of the day.

Jan-Eric Schwippert opened to 200,000 from early position and Alex Sampirisi defended in the big blind.
On the A?K?J? flop, Samprisi check-called versus a bet of 100,000 from his opponent.
The turn brought the 6?, and Samprisi check-called again versus a bet of 600,000 from Schwippert, after a reasonable period of thought.
The 6? river completed the board. Schwippert fired out a bet of 1,700,000 when it was checked to him, and after around three minutes of thought, Samprisi made what appeared to be a crying call. He was shown the bad news when Schwippert showed A?A? for the nut full house.

Anton Kraous opened to 250,000 from the cutoff and Maciej Komorowski three-bet shoved for 710,000 from the small blind. Kraous called with a covering stack to put Komorowski at risk.
Maciej Komorowski: K?J?
Anton Kraous: 10?9?
Things looked grim for Komorowski after Kraous made top pair on the 2?10?6? flop but the Q? turn gave Komorowski plenty of additional outs. The J? river gave Komorowski a bigger pair to secure the double up through Kraous.
