Younes Hammouchi opened to 2,400 from early position and was called by Miklos Banyasz in the small blind and Ivan Kalac in the big blind.
Action checked to Hammouchi on the K♠J♦7♦ flop and he bet 2,000. Banyasz then check-raised to 7,500 and Kalac got out of the way. Hammouchi called.
The 2♥ fell on the turn and Banyasz shoved for a bit over 10,000. Hammouchi called to put him at risk and hands were revealed.
Miklos Banyasz: K♥10♠
Younes Hammouchi: J♥10♦
The 9♦ river kept Banyasz in the lead with a pair of kings and he doubled up.
Luigi Pignataro raised from early position and Sergio Contreras reraised from the big blind. Pignataro moved all in for 40,800 and Contreras called to put Pignataro at risk.
Luigi Pignataro: A♠K♣
Sergio Contreras: Q♥Q♦
The board ran out 6♠7♥4♥10♦K♦. Contreras pocket queens held all the way to the river when Pignataro hit a pair of kings to scoop the pot and double up.
Vladislav Naumov raised to 2,600 from under the gun and action folded all the way around to Armin Rezaei in the big blind, who shoved for his short stack. Naumov called instantly and hands were revealed.
Armin Rezaei: 7♣7♠
Vladislav Naumov: A♦A♣
Rezaei had run into the preflop nuts, and the 10♠4♠9♣3♥9♦ runout was of no help to Rezaei — sending him out late in the evening.

Bohdanov Renat opened to 2,400 from middle position and was called by Michel Marcone on the button and Lucas Fauth in the big blind.
Action checked to Marcone on the 6♥2♠3♣ flop and he bet 4,200. Only Fauth called.
Fauth check-called a 6,000 bet from Marcone on the 8♥ turn, but check-folded on the 8♦ river after Marcone fired 10,000 into the middle.
Christopher Kondrat moved all in from early position with just 3,200 chips. He was called by several players, including Christian Carella in the small blind.
The flop came K♦2♥K♥ and all players checked it back. The turn was the 6♣ and Carella bet 10,300, which cleared out the pot and left just him and Kondrat to turn their cards.
Kondrat showed A♠K♠ for trip kings and Carella showed 2♦2♠ for a full house, deuces full of kings. He won the pot and Kondrat was eliminated from the tournament.
