All three players checked the Q♦J♦3♦ flop and K♣ turn leading to the 5♦ river. Lococo fired a minimum bet of 800 which was enough to get a fold from both opponents.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Rayane Mokhtar, facing an open, had moved all in from the cutoff for about 25,000 only for Axel Bayout to shove from the button with a covering stack. All other players got out of the way leaving Mokhtar at risk against Bayout.

Rayane Mokhtar: K♣Q♠ All in
Axel Bayout: A♥A♣

Mokhtar was in bad shape against Bayout's aces and found no help on the 3♣7♣6♥J♥10♣ runout, resulting in his elimination while Bayout claimed the last of his chips.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With 4,000 chips in the middle on a board of 9♦5♣6♠, Jaime Valmana checked over to Jessi Filho, who made a bet of 1,300. Valmana then check-raised to 4,500, and Filho called.

Both the A♣ turn and J♦ river were checked to showdown. Valmana showed 3♥2♥ and was playing the board, and Filho tabled 6♦3♦ for a pair of sixes which earned him the pot.
