Andrei Konopelko had made a raise from the cutoff when Michael Wang three-bet to 6,500 on the button. Konopelko called to the 7♣7♦4♣ flop, where he check-called Wang's bet of 3,500.
Konopelko checked again on the 5♦ turn, after which Wang continued firing. He bet 7,000, this time seeing his opponent fold as he raked in the pot.

Hadi Ahangar, Nicanor Sula, and Jaroslaw Lipien had all gone all in preflop. All players were short, but Lipien covered both Sula and Ahangar.
Hadi Ahangar: A♠Q♥
Nicanor Sula: J♦10♦
Jaroslaw Lipien: 6♦6♣
Lipien's sixes held against the four overcards when the 3♠3♦5♦9♣5♣ runout helped neither Ahangar nor Sula. Lipien knocked out two players but still ended up with a below-average stack.

Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
The action was picked up on a turn of 2♦2♣7♠5♠ with 31,000 already in the middle. Lucien Cohen checked from the big blind to Gregoire Auzoux in the hijack, who made a bet of 15,000, (around half his stack) after which Cohen quickly jammed all in. A snap-call followed from his fellow Frenchman, and the cards were tabled.
Gregoire Auzoux: A♠Q♠
Lucien Cohen: 9♠2♥
The big blind special of the "Ratman" had flopped trips. Auzoux needed a spade to double up, but the A♣ river did not bring one and he said his goodbyes to the table.
