Laurent Strouk opened the action from first position and got called by Bertrand Grospellier. The flop was 
and Strouk continued for 1,500. Grospellier flicked out the call as he sized his opponent up and they saw the 
land on the turn.
A bet of 2,500 from Strouk this time and again a call from the Team PokerStars Pro. The river 
completed the board and Strouk bet yet again, making it 4,500. Grospellier plucked some raising chips from his stack and threw out 16,600.
Strouk looked momentarily confused but didn’t take long to make the call. Grospellier showed 
for flopped trips, besting the 
that Strouk turned over in exasperation.

Andrius Bielskis kicked it off with a bet of 1,000 and picked up four callers including another late entrant, Rhys Jones, with position.
They got to the turn without any further action and with the board reading it was Jones who took the initiative when it was checked to him betting 3,600. Bielskis was the only player to hang around to see the river fall the 
and he checked it over to Jones to see what he would do.
Jones took a few moments before throwing out a chunky 8,200 bet. Bielskis didn’t look convinced and asked for the pot to be spread. A minute or so passed before he thought better of it and mucked his hand.

for the flush draw when Kwaysser put him all in. The queens of the Hungarian held up.
Mozaffarian was up to six digits already but then lost the all in against a short stack with versus for around 8,000 in chips.
