The flop was
. Lacay led out for 75,000. After a bit of a think, Behling raised to 160,000. Lacay moved all in and Behling quickly called. Lacay
Behling
Disaster for Lacay, his aces cracked by Behling's set of eights. No help for the Frenchman on the
turn or the 
river and he made a quiet exit in 8th place, earning €32,843 for his efforts.
Sergey Shcherbatskiy limped in under the gun and it foled around to small blind Minieri, who also limped. Behling checked his big blind, and they saw a
flop. It checked around to Shcherbatskiy who bet 20,000, but an unconvinced Minieri called instantly, and after a reasonable pause, Behling called too. All three checked the 
turn, and Minieri checked the 
river too -- at which point Behling bet an unexpected 50,000, and both Shcherbatskiy and Minieri laid it down. Curious.
Benelli checked the
flop -- and then laid it down when Behling fired out 40,000.
Benellil open-shoved for his remaining 111,000 and Minieri called on the button. It was a race situation, Benelli's
up against Minieri's 
. The flop was a sweat-tastic
, Benelli's overpair still holding, but Minieri hot on his heels with two overs and the nut flush draw. Minieri hit that flush when the 
arrived on the turn, rendering the river card, the , meaningless. Benelli graciously shook his fellow countryman's hand on his way out and wished him good luck. He'll take home €45,746 for his finish here in Warsaw.
Down to 6.
