Down to 120,000, Maria Lampropulos shoved from under the gun. Then everybody folded to Marius Kudzmanas in the small blind, who raised all in and made the big blind fold.
Maria Lampropulos: A♠8♦
Marius Kudzmanas: 9♣9♠
Lampropulos didn't find the ace she needed to stay in the tournament on the J♠4♦10♣K♠5♠ board. Finishing 33th, she takes €21,000. After her elimination, the table broke.

Ruggeri called and the 4♥ fell on the river. He then led out with another 55,000 and Guyon called. Ruggeri showed him A♠7♦ for the nut flush and Guyon mucked.

: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Vincent Meli opened for 50,000 chips from the hijack and was three-bet by Sebastian Schulze in the cutoff, for a total of 125,000.
Meli made the call once the action folded back to him, and a 5♥2♠8♣ flop fanned out. Meli checked and Schulze followed suit, after which they did the same on the 5♠ turn.
The players followed the same recipe on the 6♣ river, and Meli tabled A♠J♠ for ace-high. Schulze also played ace-high but had the better kicker with his A♥Q♥, which won him the small pot.

Marle Spragg, Adrien Guyon, and Preben Stokkan built a pot of around 300,000 as they headed to the river on a board of 4♦7♦9♦J♠4♥.
Stokkan was in the hijack and bet 225,000. Guyon folded the button, but Spragg moved all in from the small blind. Stokkan, with around 250,000 remaining, snap-folded and Spragg took the pot to climb above 2,000,000.

Tobias Garp had just moved to a new table to take the place of the departed Vlado Banicevic and three-bet to 125,000 on the button his first hand after Mark Helou raised to 45,000 in the hijack.
Helou called and they saw a flop of A♣10♣8♦. Garp then bet 40,000 and Helou moved all in for 520,000. Garp called.
Mark Helou: A♥K♦
Tobias Garp: A♦Q♦
Both players had top pair, but Helou was ahead with his king-kicker as the board ran out 8♣10♠, earning him a double up.
"Not kamikaze to go all in. At this stage in the tournament I prefer playing it safe," Helou said.

On a board of J♣A♠A♥J♥3♣, Farrell bet 20,000 from the cutoff on the flop and Maria Lampropulos called from the big blind, then both players checked on the turn and the river. Lampropulos showed K♥8♥ for a simple king-high, while Farrell had Q♣Q♠.
On the next hand, Farrell opened from the hijack, but everybody folded, so he won the blinds and flipped over K♣10♣.
He raised again from middle position one hand later, and Cesar Garcia defended from the big blind. But after Farrell bet on the 3♥Q♥10♣ flop, Garcia quickly check-folded. Probably for the best, as Farrell showed A♠A♦.
Farrell finally folded preflop on the next hand. "Running bad" he laughed in front of his 1,900,000 chips.

Sebastian Schulze raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and Mark Helou called from the button. Vlado Banicevic then jammed all in for 280,000 from the big blind.
Schulze asked for a count and rejammed thereafter, after which Helou folded his K♣10♣ face-up.
Vlado Banicevic: K♥Q♣
Sebastian Schulze: 7♣7♦
Banicevic flopped a gutshot on 3♠A♦10♦, but no further help arrived on the 9♣2♣ runout. He was eliminated from the Main Event, while Schulze chipped back up to nearly one million chips.
"I would've won if I called," Helou noted. "But I'm not that crazy, not yet."

On the feature table, Govert Metaal opened to 40,000 from the cutoff, then Lukas Rose three-bet all in for 155,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Metaal made the call.
Lukas Rose: A♥7♦
Govert Metaal: K♦8♦
Rose was on the edge of elimination after Metaal hit a pair on the 9♣8♥2♥ flop. The turn 5♣ and the river 3♣ didn't bring any help for Rose, who was eliminated.
