Joining the action on a flop of , Tobias Peters bet 4,300 after Jerome Arnould had checked to him and the on the turn was checked through by both. The river saw Arnould bet 11,000 with 16,600 behind and that made the Dutchman suspicious, thus sliding the cards into the muck.
On a final board of small blind Frederik Jensen bet 14,700.
Artem Metalidi then raised him to 31,000 which seemed to visibly irritate Jensen. “You do realise I’m not playing the board, right?” Jensen told him. Metalidi said nothing.

Dietrich Moritz min-raised to 2,000 from under the gun and Robin Ylitalo three-bet to 5,800 from the button. Nikolas Teichert couldn't see the stack of the Swede, who then pulled it forward and caused the German to fold. Moritz moved all in for 21,000 and was snap-called by Ylitalo with .
