Santiago Nadal opened from hijack and Martin Zamani defended in the big blind.
Zamani checked on the flop of A♣4♠2♦ and called a bet from Nadal. Zamani checked again on the Q♠ turn and Nadal sized up to 1,900,000. Zamani check-raised to 9,000,000 and Nadal gave it some thought before folding.
"Professional bluff!" Ren Lin said before Zamani revealed the 2♠ in his hand. "Wow!"
Magnus Persson opened to 1,000,000 in middle position and Wissam Ouertani came along from the big blind.
When the 8♣7♣4♣ flop hit the felt, Ouertani check-called a bet of 1,100,000.
The J♦ fell on the turn, and Ouertani led for 2,500,000. Persson responded with a jam for 8,800,000 and Ouertani tank-called.
Magnus Persson: A♣2♣ 
Wissam Ouertani: J♠7♠

Following the successful return of the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) in Las Vegas last year, PokerStars announced in May that the NAPT will return to Resorts World, Las Vegas, this November for another ten-day poker extravaganza.
The series is highlighted by the NAPT Las Vegas Main Event, which has a $5,300 buy-in. Last year's champion, Sami Bechahed, topped the 1,095-entry field and took home a substantial $268,945.
For those who missed out last year or looking to have a second bite of the cherry, you'll be pleased to know that you can secure your seat in the Main Event for a fraction of the buy-in.
Kevin Madar opened 1,100,000 under the gun and Francesco Macri defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♠J♥4♠, and Macri check-called a bet of 1,200,000.
Macri announced a check-dark as the dealer rolled the 8♥ turn, and Madar checked back.
When the J♠ paired the board on the river, Macri took the lead, firing 2,600,000. Madar thought about it for about 10-seconds, and decided to let it go.
Santiago Nadal opened from middle position and Guy Cicconi three-bet jammed a stack of 3,300,000 from the hijack. Nadal called with a bigger stack.
Guy Cicconi: 9♠8♠
Santiago Nadal: J♦J♥
Cicconi needed help and didn't get it as the board ran out 2♦4♥A♣K♥8♦ to mark his elimination in 15th place.
Parker Talbot open-jammed a stack of just 1,000,000 from the cutoff and Santiago Nadal raised on the button to isolate.
Parker Talbot: A♠6♠
Santiago Nadal: 9♦9♥
"It's fitting that I get ace-six in the cutoff and am behind," Talbot groaned before taking a big lead on the flop of A♥3♥10♥.
Nothing changed as the board finished out 6♦Q♠ to earn the last ambassador standing a small double.
"Now I can run another nine big blind bluff that's always getting called and just incinerate my biscuits," Talbot said before calling for a cocktail waitress.
Stanislovas Vinicenka jammed 3,625,000 in the cutoff and Alexandre Reard moved all-in from the small blind.
Stanislovas Vinicenka: A♦A♥
Alexandre Reard: 7♥7♠
Vinicenka had the best hand in the game, and was able to fade the seven as the dealer ran out the Q♠8♦4♠4♥10♠ board.
Francesco Macri opened to 1,000,000 in middle position and Francesco Macri three-bet jammed a stack of around 4,300,000 from the cutoff. Macri called after getting a count.
Hugo Gotuzzo: A♦5♦
Francesco Macri: 9♥9♦
The flop landed 8♦2♠3♦ to give Gotuzzo a flush draw and the 3♥ turn improved his chances with a wheel draw. However, the 8♠ river bricked off to mark Gotuzzo's elimination in 16th place.
Francesco Macri opened 1,500,000 in middle position, and Hugo Gotuzzo three-bet 4,900,000 on the button. Macri thought about it for a few moments, and tossed in the chips to call.
The dealer spread a flop of 9♥7♠5♦, and Macri pushed his remaining stacks across the line. After asking for a count, and the dealer letting him know it was 4,000,000, Gotuzzo made the call.
Francesco Macri: 10♦10♥
Hugo Gotuzzo: A♦K♥
Macri's tens were in the lead and the Q♣ turn, and 4♥ river changed nothing as he collected the pot.
