Oleg Ustinovich raised to 40,000 from middle position and Julien Sitbon called in the big blind.
The flop came Q♣Q♦Q♠. Sitbon checked to the raiser and Ustinovich bet 35,000, which Sitbon called.
The turn was the 7♥. Sitbon checked again and Ustinovich pushed over a stack of blues worth 110,000. Sitbon once again made the call.
The river was the 6♥ and both players checked to showdown. Sitbon showed A♦7♣ for a full house, queens full of sevens. Ustinovich turned over 8♠8♣ for a higher full house, queens full of eights. He took the pot and left a dent in Sitbon's stack.

Hula went into the tank, before ultimately deciding to fold.

Bart Lybaert: A♠5♥
Eros Calderone: A♦J♠
The board ran out 5♦K♣9♦3♠K♦. Lybaert paired up his five to win the pot and double his stack. He survived another round and made it to the bubble.

The pot stood at approximately 400,000 with two players looking at a full board that read A♣3♠J♥8♣K♠.
Ahmed Karrim, in the big blind, checked the action to Antoine Labat, in middle position. Labat moved all in, putting Karrim to the test for, what looked to be, his last 460,000.
Karrim spent a considerable amount of time in the tank before making the call. Labat tabled 8♥8♦, which was way out in front of the A♥Q♠ of Karrim.
With Karrim's departure, the remaining 14 players are now playing hand for hand until the bubble is burst.
