Action was picked up with all the cards on their backs on the flop of 4♠2♦9♠. Quan Zhou was all in and at risk. Jean-Noel Thorel had him covered but only just.

Quan Zhou: K♠7♠ All in
Jean-Noel Thorel: 10♠10♥

Thorel need to fade a spade or a king, which he did on the 4♣ turn. However the K♥ river gave Zhou a crucial double up.

The very next hand, Nacho Barbero opened from early position. Action folded around to Thorel who raised to 28,000, leaving 1,000 behind.

Barbero called and said, "you are running bad so I'll call you."

The flop of 6♣3♠10♣ saw Barbero go all in, Thorel made the call.

Jean-Noel Thorel: A♥8♠ All in
Nacho Barbero: K♥5♥

Barbero said "see, you are running bad" as the 5♠ rolled off on the turn. The 10♥ confirmed that Thorel was sent to the rail and he rebought shortly afterwards.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nacho Barbero	950,000 950,000	950,000
