Hossein Ensan raised his button to 210,000. Johan Espholm fired a three-bet to 690,000 in the small blind, which Ensan called.
Espholm spent some time in thought on the subsequent 10♦9♦J♥ flop before he moved all in for about 1,400,000. Ensan snap-called, putting his neighbor at risk.
Johan Espholm: K♠K♦10♣3♦ 
Hossein Ensan: A♣Q♠J♣10♠
Ensan's two pair was ahead. Espholm needed help, but none arrived on the 8♥A♠ runout, improving Ensan to aces and jacks to officially eliminate Espholm.

Big blind Aki Vihikainen pushed his last 405,000 into a pot of 800,000 on the A♣3♣4♥ flop. Andras Nemeth swiftly called under the gun, putting Vihikainen at risk of becoming the final table bubble.
Aki Vihikainen: Q♣6♣5♦4♦
Andras Nemeth: A♠J♦9♦9♣
Nemeth's pair of aces was in the lead, and Vihikainen stood up as the 3♦2♦ runout completed the board.
Nemeth then pointed out that Vihikainen had made straight on the river, and he quickly sat back to down to rake in the pot.

In a multi-way limped pot to the 4♦5♦9♥ flop, Harry Casagrande led out for 300,000 in the small blind. Big blind Aku Joentausta raised to 1,000,000, forcing the other players out of the pot.
Casagrande weighed his options before he jammed all in for 1,805,000, and Joentausta immediately called with the covering stack.
Harry Casagrande: 10♥6♦3♦2♥
Aku Joentausta: K♥9♠9♣7♦
Casagrande missed his draws on the 8♣ turn, and the 9♦ river graced Joentausta with quads to burst the final table bubble in style.
Casagrande said his goodbyes to the table as his nine former opponents converged on the final table.

Aki Vihikainen raised to 240,000 in the small blind. Stanislav Zegal was in the big blind and three-bet to 720,000, which Vihikainen called.
Vihikainen's remaining 580,000 flew in on the 8♥4♣Q♣ flop, putting him at risk of becoming the first elimination of the final table.
Aki Vihikainen: A♦J♠10♣9♠
Stanislav Zegal: A♠A♥9♦2♥
The 3♣ was of no help to Vihikainen, and the A♣ river brought the last ace in the deck to secure the pot in favor of Zegal's rockets, eliminating his neighbor in ninth.

Stanislav Zegal limped in from early position. It folded to Andras Nemeth in the cutoff, who raised to 360,000 in the cutoff. Zegal quickly came along, after which the duo checked through the Q♣5♠6♠ flop and Q♥ turn.
Zegal put in his third check on the 10♠ river, but Nemeth fired a bet of 725,000. Zegal confirmed the amount, raised his eyebrows, and tossed in a call.
"Full house," Nemeth declared as he tabled A♥10♦10♣2♥. Zegal's cards hit the muck in defeat, and the pot was shipped Nemeth's way.
