Cards went on their backs on Table 152 with Nicolas Vayssieres in the cutoff and the small blind at risk against Francisco Benitez in middle position.
Nicolas Vayssieres:?A?A?
Small Blind: 7?7?
Francisco Benitez: Q?Q?
The board of 2?4?J?10?6? didn't change anything, so Vayssieres almost tripled up while the small blind was eliminated.

A player in early position opened to 13,000, and he was called by Jérémy Saderne on the button and Arnaud Enselme in the big blind.
On a flop of J?2?7?, Enselme moved all-in for 12,000. The early-position player folded, but Saderne called.
Arnaud Enselme: K?2?
Jérémy Saderne: A?10?
"Not like that Jérémy," Enselme said when the A? turn landed on the feld. The J? river completed the board and Enselme went to the payout desk.

Dennis Li: K?J?
Hijack: J?J?
The dealer fanned a board of 3?9?5?2?4?, and the hijack seemed more than happy to win the hand. Li kept a smile on his face as he was eliminated.

Players were standing up next to Table 160 as there was an all-in and call situation between Gabriel Andrade in middle position and the player to his right.
Early-position player: A?K?
Gabriel Andrade: K?K?
On a board of 6?4?6?J?A?, Andrade thought he lost at first when he saw the ace on the river. But he quickly realized that he had hit a flush at the same time and that he won the pot.
Both stacks were counted, and as the early-position player had a slightly smaller stack, he was eliminated.

Alexander Kristoff opened to 8,000 from early position and Robert Burlacu three-bet to 30,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Kristoff who shoved all in, and Burlacu called off his last few thousand chips.
Robert Burlacu: A?9?
Alexander Kristoff: K?K?
Burlacu's situation went from bad to worse on the 5?K?4? flop as Kristoff improved to top set. It was running straight or flush cards that Burlacu needed but instead he got running nines as the 9? turn and 9? river improved him to trips, but gave Kristoff a full house.

Ren Lin shoved all in for 20,000 from the cutoff and Joel Kogan made the call from the small blind.
Ren Lin: A?7?
Joel Kogan: K?K?
Lin needed some help and picked up a slither of it on the J?4?5? flop with plenty of backdoor draws.
A 3? on the turn did add some outs as now any four would completed Lin's straight, but the 2? river was a brick which meant Lin was felted.
