Jeferson Zaminhan: K♠J♣
Michele Napoli: A♥Q♠
Zaminhan would need some help to survive, but the 10♦7♥10♣8♠8♣ runout kept Napoli ahead with his ace and Zaminhan was eliminated.

Following a middle position open raise to 8,000, Jerome Lopez called and Rami Awad moved all in for 84,000. The original raiser folded and Lopez made the call. Players flipped their cards, with Lopez at risk.
Jerome Lopez: Q♦J♦
Rami Awad: K♣K♦
The board ran out 7♣7♦8♠5♦7♠. Lopez picked up a flush draw on the turn but faded it on the river. Awad held with his pocket kings to near double his stack.
Lopez was eliminated from the tournament. He slammed the table and then threw his cards in frustration, which hit a neutral player in the face.
"Sorry!", said Lopez as he took his leave.
Players are dropping quickly, with 20 busted since the break.

Miklos Banyasz raised to 8,000 from middle position and was called by Gabriel De Medeiros on the button and Nicolas Nabet in the big blind.
All three players checked on the 2♦9♥3♠ flop and action checked to De Medeiros on the A♥ turn, who fired 13,000 into the middle. Only Banyasz called.
The Q♣ completed the board and Banyasz checked to De Medeiros again — prompting a 33,000 bet from De Medeiros. Banyasz decided to look him up after a bit of thought and De Medeiros turned over K♣J♠ for a bluff. Banyasz tabled A♠7♠ for a pair of aces and collected the pot.
