There was a table with multiple open seats and the tournament staff was quickly trying to balance out the tables. While a hand was playing out between Dominik Nitsche and Eric Baldwin, Ema Zajmovic joined the table to the left of Charles La Boissonniere. She greeted her fellow Canadian Mike Leah across the table but then began a conversation with La Boissonniere in French, their native tongue.

On a flop that read {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, Eric Baldwin check-called a bet of 75,000 from Nitsche and the {q-Clubs} landed on the turn. Baldwin checked again and Nitsche fired another bet of 225,000. Baldwin still called and the {k-Spades} completed the board. Both players knuckled the table and Baldwin turned over {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for the best hand.

As the hand was finishing, another Canadian Philippe D'Auteuil also took a seat with a fresh stack of 1,000,000 chips. He joined Zajmovic and La Boissonniere in the French conversation and also greeted Leah. Matt Stout looked across the table at Leah who just shrugged his shoulders as he could not keep up to the French conversation going on and everyone had a laugh.

There was also a three-way all in a couple tables over that saw John Krpan shove all in for 555,000. John Racener also moved all in for 470,000 and Mykhailo Gutyi called with the bigger stack in the big blind. Racener was in the lead with {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}, followed by Gutyi with {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Krpan with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. The board ran out {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Racener held on for a triple up while Krpan was ousted by Gutyi.
