Michael Rodrigues opened to 10,000 from under the gun. He was called by Fabien Motte in middle position, but David Gomes in the next seat three-bet to 25,000. Both Rodrigues and Motte called.
On a flop of 9♠A♦2♠, Gomes continued for 35,000 and everybody check-folded.
On the next hand, Motte raised to 12,000, and Rodrigues defended from the big blind.
Both of them checked the 4♥J♦J♠ flop and the 9♥ turn. But on the K♥ river, Motte bet 15,000. Rodrigues check-called with K♣7♣ and won with two pair against A♣10♦.

After Alexandre Le Vaillant opened to 8,000 from under the gun, the player to his left and both players in the blinds called.
All four of them checked the A♥8♦A♣ flop, but on the 5♠ turn, Khelifa led out for 11,000. Alice Sicconi in the big blind folded, but Le Vaillant called, as well as the fourth player.
The 4♥ river landed on the felt and Khelifa fired a second barrel of 17,000. Le Vaillant raised to 60,000 to make his neighbor fold.
Khalifa eventually called but couldn't do much against Le Vaillant's full house with 8♥8♣.
