Francois Vincenti opened 1,000 under the gun and Adam Hendrix three-bet 2,700 next to act. Gilbert Diaz was in the big blind and made the call before Vincenti four-bet to 8,000. Hendrix only took a few seconds before folding, and Diaz made the call.
The flop came J♣8♣6♦, and Diaz checked before Vincenti announced all-in. Diaz had 5,800 remaining and thought about it for a few moments before sigh-folding.
PokerStars ambassador Alejandro Lococo is no more after bluffing into the rivered full house of Jorge Cantos.
With the board showing J♦J♣3♣9♣5♣, Lococo moved all in for around 30,000 with A♥3♥ before getting snap-called by Cantos holding 5♠5♦ for fives full of jacks.
Matthew Khouri raised from the hijack to 1,100 and received a call from Lawrence Bury in the big blind.
The dealer revealed a flop of 9♠Q♦Q♥, where Bury took the lead, betting 1,400. Khouri thought about it for a few seconds and called to find the A♠ on the turn.
This time, Bury took a long moment to make a decision, and he checked. Khouri took this opportunity to bet 5,200, an action that made Bury fold.
With about 4,500 in the middle, the turn read 10♠3♣2♥J♥. Jerome Lopez checked to Lucas Silva who put out a bet of 3,000.
After a few seconds, Silva dropped a small stack of blue chips for a raise to 30,000. Silva went deep into the tank eying his stack of about 20,000 and eventually tossed his cards towards the dealer.
Jens-Florian Muller opened to 1,200 first-to-act and was called by Alexandre Le Vaillant in the small blind and Gerardus Englebert in the big blind.
Le Vaillant checked to Englebert on the Q♣J♦5♦ flop and he bet 1,500. Both Le Vaillant and Muller called.
The 7♣ fell on the turn and it was checked to Muller, who bet 3,800. Le Vaillant called all in for his last 3,000 and Englebert called as well.
Englebert then check-called a 10,000 bet from Muller on the 7♠ river and Muller showed 5♥5♣ for fives-full of sevens. Englebert held the J♠10♥ and Le Vaillant mucked — eliminating him from contention.
Defending champion Giuliano Bendinelli just took his seat in the tournament.
Rafael Marcondes was all in for his final few chips against PokerStars ambassador Sam Grafton.
Rafael Marcondes: K♦4♦
Sam Grafton: K♥8♠
Grafton had his opponent dominated but the flop of 3♦9♦5♥ gave Marcondes plenty of hope with a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, the board finished out J♥Q♠ and he was eliminated.
Janne Nevalainen raised to 1,200 on the button before Andreas Berggren three-bet to 3,600 in the small blind. Nevalainen called and they went heads-up to the 8♦2♠8♣ flop.
Berggren led out for 3,800 and Nevalainen called. The turn came the 10♠ and Berggren fired another 9,000 into the middle.
Nevalainen again called to see the 3♣ fall on the river. Berggren then moved all in and Nevalainen snap-called for his last 15,700, showing 10♣10♦ for a full house.
Berggren's cards quickly hit the muck as Nevalainen doubled up.
David Baker raised from the hijack to 1,000 and was three-bet to 3,000 by Hala Karam in the cutoff. The player on the button called, as well as Baker.
On the flop 6♠9♥5♣, Baker checked to let Karam bet 4,000. The button folded, but Baker called.
The 8♠ came on the turn, but both players checked. On the river 10♣, Baker chose the biggest sizing possible, as he went all-in for 11,500. Karam went into the tank and took a minute to make a decision.
"Do you show if I fold?" she asked.
"No," answered Baker. Karam eventually folded.
