Ido Aboudi and Pablo Melogno were heads-up on a 8♥9♥4♥ flop with over 200,000 already in the middle. Aboudi checked from the cutoff and Melogno bet 55,000 on the button. Aboudi called.
Both players checked on the K♠ turn and then Aboudi bet a meager 40,000 on the J♠ river. Melogno called and Aboudi tabled A♥J♦ for a rivered pair of jacks, which got a muck from Melogno to award Aboudi the pot.

On the secondary table, Samuel Fournier in the hijack opened to 40,000. He received a call by Mehdi Chaoui, who was in the big blind.
Chaoui checked on the flop 3♠10♦8♦ and Fournier decided to check back to find the 6♣ on the turn, where he bet 40,000. Chaoui check-called and saw the 6♠ land on the river.
After Chaoui checked, Fournier bet an extra 45,000. Chaoui seemed to be in a tough spot, as he utilized a few time banks to make a decision. "Can I speak French?" he asked to get information from Fournier. "No," answered the dealer. A few seconds later, Chaoui folded.

Mihai Niste opened to 40,000 from middle position and was called by Andre Akkari in the small blind. Agostino Ascone then shoved for 160,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Niste, but a call from Akkari to put Ascone at risk.
Agostino Ascone: 6♣6♥
Andre Akkari: 4♠4♣
The 2♣J♣J♥ flop left Ascone with a commanding lead in the hand, but the 4♦ turn vaulted Akkari into the lead with a full house, which left Ascone fuming. The 4♥ improved Akkari to unnecessary quads and Ascone was eliminated in brutal fashion.

Action was heads up with around 300,000 with a full board of K♠3♦4♥2♦4♣ when Gustavo Oliveira bet 225,000 and Carl Shaw shoved with more from the next seat over.
Oliveira went deep into the tank and used four time banks before he tossed out a chip to call. Shaw turned over 9♦4♠, good enough to beat Oliveira's K♣7♦ and send him out of the tournament.
Meanwhile, a string of eliminations has left the tournament with 54 players.
