Picking up the action on a flop of 8♣7♥6♣, Axel Gold-Dalg in the hijack bet 22,000, but Heni Mokni in the small blind check-raised to 76,000.
Gold-Dalg, after some deliberation, three-bet to 180,000. Mokni responded with a four-bet to 285,000. Gold-Dalg eventually made the call.
When the 10♥ turn appeared, Mokni bet 122,000. Gold-Dalg seemed annoyed by this card and folded, remarking that the 10♥ turn was "the only card [he] didn’t want."
Thanks to this pot, Mokni joins Sonny Franco on top of the chip counts with 1,330,000 chips.

On a board of A♠A♣Q♣6♠4♦ with roughly 150,000 in the pot, Adrien Guyon bet 68,000 from under the gun, but Pierre Basile in the big blind raised all-in with the biggest stack of the table.
Guyon went deep into the tank. "I hate asking that but will you show me your cards if I fold?" Guyon asked. Basile didn't answer.
After a minute, Guyon called himself the clock. And before the end of the 30 seconds countdown, he folded A♥6♥ face up. Basile revealed the 5♥.
