Michele Tocci doubled up to around 18,000 with A♦10♦ on the button against middle positions A♥6♥ after seeing the 2♣Q♣7♠7♣2♠ board.
On a table just across from Tocci, Thomas Eychenne raised to 4,000 from the hijack when Boris Kolev moved all in from the button. Eychenne called.
Kolev Boris: A♣10♦
Thomas Eychenne: A♣K♦
The 10♠A♦9♥J♥J♦ runout sealed Kolev's fate, and Eychenne climbed up in the chip counts.
A few hands later, despite Tocci's earlier double, he too was seen walking away from the tables after being eliminated.

In a three-way pot on the river with the big blind, Maksim Shornikau, already all in with a nub and a side pot of about 40,000 between Ami Barer under the gun and Marton Czuczor on the button, the board read J♦8♣5♦K♣10♥.
After Barer checked, Czuzcor moved all in, covering Barer's remaining 30,000 chips. Barer thought for a couple of minutes and then called.
Czuczor showed 5♠5♣ for a flopped set of fives, which sent Shornikau's queen-high quickly to the muck as he left, with Barer following right after with Q♥J♠ for a losing pair of jacks. Czuczor scooped both pots.

About 55,000 was in the middle on a turn board of 8♦6♣2♠A♠ and Marte Sandberg had checked her big blind to Will Kassouf on the button.
Kassouf moved all in for his last 39,000, sending Sandberg into the tank. After over a minute of thought, she made the call, only to hear the words Kassouf made famous.
"Nine high like a boss," he proudly declared as he revealed that he indeed had his trademark hand and would need help.
Will Kassouf: 9♠5♠
Marte Sandberg: K♥K♦
Kassouf's nine-high (like a boss) needed another spade or a seven to come on the river to avoid elimination, but the 10♦ fell instead, sending the pot to Sandberg and ending Kassouf's day in the tournament.
After the hand, Kassouf joked with the PokerNews live reporting team, "I need to quit doing that. It's getting me in trouble."
