Lukas Benkovic opened to 12,000 from early position and was three-bet to 33,000 by Cesar Garcia from the cutoff. It was folded back around to Benkovic, who announced he was all in for approximately 120,000 total. Garcia quickly called to put Benkovic at risk.
Lukas Benkovic: A♠K♠
Cesar Garcia: J♠J♥
It was a coinflip, but the board ran out J♣K♥9♣Q♥Q♠ — leaving Garcia best with jacks-full and eliminating Benkovic.
Mercedes Osti was all in preflop with a short stack and Adrien Guyon called with a big stack. Players flipped their cards.
Mercedes Osti: 8♣7♦

Rolando Carrera: A♣7♦
Cesar Garcia: J♠J♣
Carrera hit a pair on the 7♣3♣8♦ flop but improved no further on the K♦ turn and J♥ river as Garcia made a set to send Carrera to the rail.
Tobias Garp raised on the button, then called when Grigory Zima shoved for around 60,000 in the small blind.
Grigory Zima: 4♦4♥
Tobias Garp: K♣9♠
The 10♦A♥J♥ flop gave Garp a straight draw to go with his two overcards, and he hit one of his outs on the K♥ turn to take the lead.
The 3♦ river gave him the pot and sent Zima off to the payout desk.
Enrique Rodriguez opened to 12,000 from the hijack and was called by Luke Marsh in the big blind.

Both players checked on the 5♦ turn and then Marsh led out for 50,000 on the 4♣ river. Rodriguez let his hand go and Marsh added to his stack.
At another table, Marle Spragg was seen collecting the rest of Hussein Abud's chips. Abud held A♥K♥ and Spragg held J♥J♦ on a completed board of 2♣7♦8♣8♠3♥.
"So many big hands," Spragg said as she collected the pot.

Marius Kudzmanas: K♥K♠
The board ran out Q♦6♥ and Kudzmanas' kings sent Wood off to collect his payout.
Diogo Coelho had already opened from the hijack and just behind him, Oleksii Ievchenko shoved for his last 42,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Coelho, who called to put Ievchenko at risk.
Oleksii Ievchenko: K♠Q♠
Diogo Coelho: A♥9♦
Ievchenko would need some help, and the 5♠10♥J♣ flop gave him an open-ended straight draw in addition to his pair outs. It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 3♣ turn and 7♣ river bricked out for Ievchenko — eliminating him from the tournament.
