Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Stephane Gabarre: K♠J♠

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Following an open raise, Salomon Azria called 120,000 from middle position and Tsugunari Toma three-bet to 400,000 from the button. The original raiser folded and Azria made the call.

The flop came 8♠10♠9♣. Azria checked and Toma continued for 330,000, which Azria called. The turn was the 6♦ and both players checked.

The river came the A♠ and both players checked again to showdown. Azria had 4♠4♣ and Toma flipped over 5♣5♥. The two player high-fived each other as Toma scooped the pot.

Generally, the action has been slow, with many pots taken down with a raise, reraise, or postflop bet.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tsugunari Toma	3,900,000 900,000	900,000
Salomon Azria	2,200,000 -900,000	-900,000
