In a pot of 84,000, Youness Barakat got his stack of 155,000 in against Filip Lovric on a 7♦J♠9♥ flop, and was at risk.
Youness Barakat: A♦K♠10♠9♣ 
Filip Lovric: K♥K♣Q♥10♦
Lovric's kings remained the best hand as the J♣4♠ runout improved neither player.
Barakat bit the dust for the second time today, but was openly debating when the best time for a reentry would be, so he is sure to return.

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 35th episode, Connor talks with No Filter Poker Series founder Mounir Tajiou about growing up in Sweden, working as a high court judge, playing professional soccer, making a deep run in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and the new No Filter Poker Series, which values fun at the table over poker strategy.
We also hear from 1998 Main Event champion Scotty Nguyen, reigning WSOP champ Michael Mizrachi and Finnish poker legend Juha Helppi about their involvement with the No Filter Poker tour.
The 34 remaining players have been sent on their 60-minute dinner break.
The tournament will resume at 9 p.m. local time.
Lauri Varonen got his last 70,000 in on a [ash9sth] flop, and was up against chipleader "Gypsy Baron".
Lauri Varonen: J♥10♣8♥8♠
"Gypsy Baron": A♣K♥8♣2♥
Varonen did not improve his pair of tens on the 5♦3♦ runout, sending him to the rail as "Gypsy Baron" crossed the million mark.
After several limps, "NoNeedMoney" made it 24,000 to go in the big blind. Youness Barakat and Jeremy Trojand called to the 3♣7♦9♣ flop, where "NoNeedMoney" bet out for 50,000.
Barakat raised the pot, folding out Trojand, and "NoNeedMoney" quickly called all in for 141,500. "I hope I get even [with you]," "NoNeedMoney" told Barakat, who had recently taken a big pot from him.
"NoNeedMoney": 10♦10♣9♠8♣
Youness Barakat: Q♠Q♥3♥3♦
"NoNeedMoney"'s flush came in on the A♣ turn, and the 4♣ river failed to pair the board, deciding the pot in Steinfeuer's favor.
Martin Nielsen checked to "Gypsy Baron" on a completed board of 7♠10♦5♠2♠6♦. "Gypsy Baron" fired a pot-sized bet of 180,000, which sent Nielsen into the tank.
Eventually, Nielsen flicked in a reluctant call. "Gypsy Baron" showed A♠Q♥7♣3♠ for the nut flush, and Nielsen groaned as he mucked his hand and lost the big pot.
Leonid Yanovski open-raised to 12,000 in early position. Bharath Janardhan three-bet to 40,000 in the next seat over, and Yanovski made it 126,000 to go in response.
"Okay, let's go," Janardhan said as he slammed in a tower of T-25,000 chips. Yanovski quickly called all in for 180,000, revealing the cards.
Leonid Yanovski: A♣K♣J♠7♣
Bharath Janardhan: A♠Q♥Q♣10♠
Yanovski flopped multiple draws on 6♦10♣8♣, but none of his outs came in on the 8♥ turn or 3♦ river. Yanovski grimaced as he moved his chips over to his neighbor, then took his exit for the second time today.
