Amongst the latest casualties are Jean-Noel Thorel and Yake Wu. Both of them used their re-entry, so it is safe to say that was the last we will see of them for today. They will be able to register again tomorrow if they choose.
Orpen Kisacikoglu opened the action and called a three-bet by Dmitry Prusov who had position on him. No one else got involved and the pair went heads up to the flop.
On the 
board, Kisacikoglu check-raised Prusov's 6,000 continuation bet to 12,000. Prusov thought about his options and elected to move all in over the top for a total of 32,100. It was a quick call from the Turk and when the cards were flipped over, he had the best of it.
Dmitry Prusov: 
Orpen Kisacikoglu: 
It was top two pair versus an over pair but the 
turn changed everything, making Prusov top set and reducing Kisacikoglu's outs to zero. The 
river was inconsequential.
Kisacikoglu was left with 1,700 chips but lost those to Luc Greenwood in the very next hand.
Zorlu Er had lost a big portion of his impressive start and just recovered some chips when he sent Eric Lai to the rail.
Lai was all in for just 4,900 with the 
and Er had him dominated with 
. The board came 
and one seven was not enough for Lai to avoid the elimination.

With already 20,000 in the middle and the turn showing 
, Eric Bignon checked and Mikhail Soltanov moved all in for the last 10,400. Bignon reluctantly called and Soltanov immediately said "good call" before revealing his for a pair of jacks.
Bignon was ahead with 
and the 
river changed nothing anymore.
Andre Akkari from the under-the-gun position and Ludovic Geilich in late position created a big pot and headed to the 
river. Akkari had checked and faced a bet of 20,000 by Geilich, which ultimately forced a fold from the PokerStars ambassador.
With the arrival of Ryan Riess not long ago and Kristen Bicknell just now, it will get even tougher for the Brazilian to boost up his stack again.
Not long ago, Davidi Kitai had been down to one third of the starting stack after folding to a shove, but he has now moved back to more than he started with after winning a flip against Hrayr Grigoryan.
Davidi Kitai:
Hrayr Grigoryan: 
The board came 
and Kitai said "it's a new tournament", he doubled for 16,500.
Renato Minicuci got the last of his chips in with 
and was called by Eric Bignon who had 
. All in for his tournament life behind, but very much live, Minicuci lost ground when an ace fell on the flop and couldn't find any help on the turn or the river, sending his chips over to Bignon.
Table 21 broke and Zorlucan Er was no longer there. Winfred Yu showed up with a far bigger stack on his new table and confirmed he had sent Er to the rail when he raised with 
and flopped the nut straight in a three-way pot. Er went broke with 
for top pair only and will have to re-enter.
