Just a few hands earlier, Rusen Mat had open-folded 7x7x after facing an all-in from Alberto Sepranzoni.
This time, he found himself up against Hassan Sleiman, who shoved all in with 7♠7♥ from early position. Josep Ruiz called, but Mat had different plans and moved all in as well. Ruiz folded, leaving Sleiman and Mat to face off in a showdown.
Hassan Sleiman: 7♠7♥
Rusen Mat: A♦K♠
The board ran out K♣8♦Q♦6♥A♠, giving Mat a clean win, allowing him to add a small portion to his stack while Sleiman was sent to the rail.

Thomas Syversen in early position and Andreas Putz in the cutoff had put in all their chips preflop, with Syversen's stack of roughly 350,000 being the one at risk.

Yannick Koch: 7♣7♦
Pierre Mounic: J♣J♦

Alexandra Loveless was down to just 32,000 chips when she was moved to the table, taking a fortunate seat in the cutoff. Despite going an entire orbit without a hand worth going all in on, she eventually found herself facing the big blind with just 8,000 chips remaining.
Atilla Saracoglu, sitting under the gun, shoved all but 1,000 of his chips into the middle. With no other takers, Loveless called blind, leading to a showdown.
Alexandra Loveless: 10♥4♥
Atilla Saracoglu: A♣K♦
Loveless was briefly excited to see a ten on the flop, but quickly realized Saracoglu had flopped a straight with 10♣J♣Q♥. The 6♦ turn and A♦ river completed the board, and Loveless was sent to the rail.

The action was caught on the tail end of a hand between Alessandro Orsi in the small blind and Ruben Vicente in the cutoff.
The completed board of 4♠2♦A♦7♦4♥ was on the table along with a pot of 200,000, and Orsi had put Vicente all-in for his final 250,000.
Vicente spent some time in the tank before making the call for his tournament life. He tabled A♠7♣ for two pair, but was beaten by the 7♥4♣ of Orsi, who had rivered a full house.
Orsi was awarded the big pot while Vicente was forced to head to the payout desk to collect his cash.

The board looked promising for Cochin, revealing 5♣5♠10♠ and giving him two pair. However, the 2♠ turn and 8♠ river completed a flush for Muccini, eliminating Cochin from the tournament.
