Mathias Marza limped from earlier position, then called after Julien Mariani in the hijack raised to 1,900.
Both of them checked the 8♠J♠K♥ flop leading to the 3♣ turn where Mariani bet 2,300. Maria check-called.
The 2♥ river was revealed and Marza led out for 6,000. Mariani went into the tank and called. But his cards went into the muck when Marza flipped over K♠2♠ for two pair.
Michel Leibgorin opened to 900 from middle position. After the button called, Julien Combier in the small blind three-bet to 3,900. Leibgorin quickly called, but the button folded.
Combier continued for 3,200 on the 10♥6♦10♣ flop, then fired a second barrel of 6,300 on the K♥ turn. Leibgorin called, then check-raised the turn to 15,300.
Facing this raise, Combier went deep into the tank, talking to Leibgorin to try to find his hand. "You have a set?" he asked for example.
Combier eventually folded. "Good read", Leibgorin said, revealing 7♣5♣ for a bluff.
Djamel Ouaret opened to 800 from under the gun, and he was called by Mathieu Di Meglio in the cutoff and by Sami Bechahed and PMU Team Pro Jérémy Surinach in the blinds.
Ouaret continued for 1,700 on the 5♠J♣10♥. Both Di Meglio and Surinach called.
On the 8♣ turn however, Surinach and Ouaret checked and let Di Meglio bet 5,300. Oaret was the only one to make the call.
Di Meglio sized up on the 6♦ river, betting 18,000. Ouaret went into the tank, but eventually check-folded.
