Pierre went all-in preflop for 3,200,000 with Ah 6d against Viktor Fryda's Ad Td. However, the board of 5s 7d 8h 6h Qc allowed Neuville to survive, and he loudly celebrates with his rail.

Guyon instantly called with Ax Kx, but surely wasn't pleased to see his opponent's aces. The board of Ax 8x 3x Qx 5x ensured a massive double up for Fryda. Guyon sacrificed his last 4bb with Tx 6x from the bb and ran into an opponent's Ax Kx. The board of Tx Ax 7x 3x 7x ultimately dashed Adrien's hopes of a victory and he takes home 7,000€.

14:20 Leo Colin doubles up
