Banicevic Chips Up in Showdown
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Three ways to the 
flop, Francky Magliocco checked and Vlado Banicevic made it 25,000 to go. Jean Cristiani called from one seat over and Magliocco folded.
The 
turn was checked and Banicevic then bet the 
river for what appeared to be 120,000. Cristiani flicked in calling chips and Banicevic tabled the 
for a full house to win the pot.

Veksler Eliminated by Mantor
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
In a battle of the blinds between two shorter stacks, Didrik Mantor raised to 40,000 off a stack of around 340,000 and then instantly called the shove by Pavel Veksler for what appeared to be approximately 235,000.
Pavel Veksler: 
Didrik Mantor: 
The 
flop gave Veksler the top pair and some more outs to stave off the elimination. However, the turn and 
river delivered no further help and that spelled the end for Veksler in 54th place.

Martini Eliminated by Colillas
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Over on the featured table, Julien Martini opened to 20,000 from early position and Ramon Colillas three-bet to 62,000 in the big blind. Martini shoved for 189,000, and Colillas snap-called.
Julien Martini:
Ramon Colillas:
It was "the sickest and classic-est of all races," as Joe Stapleton put it on stream. The two players gave each other a fist-bump as they awaited the runout.
The dealer spread the 
flop and Colillas vaulted ahead. Needing a queen to stay alive, the 
and 
completed the board to eliminate Martini as Colillas improved to a boat, and the PokerStars Ambassador scooped the pot to get over the million mark.

Lovgren Out; Romero Doubles
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Alejandro Romero raised to 21,000 from middle position and Eric Sfez three-bet to 61,000 from the button before Sofia Lovgren four-bet jammed with her last 183,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Romero shoved his 189,000 into the middle, which sent Sfez into the tank. After a few moments of talking out the possibilities, Sfez folded and action was heads-up with Lovgren at risk.
Sofia Lovgren: 
Alejandro Romero:
The board ran out 
and the queens held to eliminate Lovgren from the tournament.

Grieco Wins a Showdown Pot
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Another rather vivid celebration by Nicola Grieco indicated that he may have won a large pot. However, on the tail end of a duel with Charles-Henri Garnero, he had just been paid off a bet worth 70,000 on the 
river.
Grieco rolled over the 
for a full house and Garnero mucked.

Guenni Eliminated by Foggin
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
From an early position, Mikael Guenni jammed for what appeared to be eight blinds and it folded all the way to Marc Foggin in the big blind.
"How much is it?" the Brit inquired and Guenni instantly replied "around 80,000" before he started to cut down the T-5,000 chips. While he did so, Foggin flicked in calling chips and they turned the cards over.
Mikael Guenni:
Marc Foggin: 
The 
flop was a tease for Guenni with the bottom pair and nut flush draw. However, the turn and the river were both blanks to knock out the Frenchman.
