Masa Kagawa Eliminated in 5th Place (€354,500)

From under the gun, Tobias Reinkemeier raised to 80,000. In the next seat, Justin Bonomo reraised to 190,000 and then play folded to Masa Kagawa in the big blind. He reraised all in for 660,000 total. Reinkemeier took his time and thought. Then, he five-bet shoved all in for 1.58 million. Bonomo didn't go away. First, he wanted a count. Then, he tanked for a little bit and called, creating a three-way all-in pot.

Reinkemeier: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Bonomo: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Kagawa: {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

Kagawa was plenty live with his two overcards against both of his opponents' pocket jacks. The board ran out {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Kagawa whiffed. Bonomo and Reinkemeier both held the best hand and chopped Kagawa out of the tournament.

Daniel Negreanu Eliminated in 6th Place (€310,000)

Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu was eliminated in sixth place, taking home €310,000 for his finish. Negreanu was all in with {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} against the pocket tens for chip-leading Justin Bonomo. The dealer flopped a ten to give Bonomo a set and he easily held from there to send Negreanu to the rail.

Jonathan Duhamel Eliminated in 7th Place; Bubbles €100,000 Super High Roller

From the hijack seat, Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raised to 60,000. Fellow Team Pro and 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel reraised all in from the small blind. After Daniel Negreanu folded his big blind, Grospellier snap-called and tabled the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Duhamel was seen shaking his head as he turned over the {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}.

The flop came down {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} and left Duhamel needing a lot of help on the turn and river. After the {4-Hearts} landed on the turn, Duhamel was officially drawing dead. The river blanked off and Duhamel headed to the rail in seventh place — the tournament's official bubble boy. Everyone remaining is now guaranteed €310,000.
