Michele Guerrini, in the small blind, was all-in and at risk for his effective stack of 110,000, against Nichan Khorchidian, in the hijack.
Michele Guerrini: A♦K♠ 
Nichan Khorchidian: 10♠10♣
The 5♥Q♣4♥2♥ runout looked safe for Khorchidian, until the A♠ river propelled Guerrini into the lead, doubling him up.
Abdullah Akbarpoor shoved all in for 330,000 in the hijack and Igor Abelmasov called on the button for slightly less. Ivan Pavlov also called in the small blind and covered Akbarpoor.
Igor Abelmasov: K♣Q♣
Abdullah Akbarpoor: J♠J♣
Ivan Pavlov: K♥K♦
None of the players improved on the 5♠9♣A♥8♠8♦ runout, seeing Pavlov win the hand, eliminating both opponents.
Vasileios Panagiotidis raised to 55,000 from the hijack. Ramez Haddad, in the small blind, called.
The 3♦A♠5♠ flop saw Haddad check-call a bet of 40,000 from Panagiotidis.
The J♥ turn checked through to the 4♦ on the river. Both players checked to a showdown. Haddad tabled 9♦9♣, prompting Panagiotidis to muck K♠Q♠ face up, having missed both his straight and flush draws.
Julien Sitbon opened to 55,000 from early position and Mukhtor Nasiradinov called on the button. Kirill Aleksandrov three-bet shoved for 535,000 from the small blind which only Sitbon called.
Kirill Aleksandrov: K♠Q♠
Julien Sitbon: A♠K♥
Sitbon look poised to send Aleksandrov to the payout desk. However, the flop of Q♥7♠8♠ was incredibly favorable for Aleksandrov as he hit top pair and a flush draw. Sitbon couldn't improve on the 6♣ turn or 2♠ river and the majority of his chips were sent over to Aleksandrov.
Sitbon was left very short and eliminated just a few hands later.
Lucien Cohen got his stack of 250,000 in from middle position against Leonid Logunov in early position and was at risk.
Lucien Cohen: J♠J♥
Leonid Logunov: A♠A♥
Cohen turned some extra outs on 6♦7♥9♥8♠, but none of them came in on the 8♦ river. He quickly exited the tournament area to collect his payout.
Roman Timergazin min-raised to 50,000 from early position and Patrick Leonard defended his big blind.
After Leonard checked the 5♦2♦K♠ flop, Timergazin bet 40,000. Leonard check-raised to 135,000 and after a few moments, Timergazin shoved for 355,000 total. Leonard called.
Roman Timergazin: K♥Q♥
Patrick Leonard: K♣7♥
Both had top pair, but Leonard had kicker problems. The 10♥ turn followed by the 6♦ river didn't improve Leonard, and Timergazin doubled up.
Santiago Nadal raised to 50,000 in the hijack and was called by [Removed:607] in the big blind. Muller check-called bets of 35,000 on the 10♣Q♠Q♦ flop and 85,000 on the 9♦ turn before the 10♥ river hit the felt.
[Removed:608] checked for a third time, seeing Nadal bet 130,000. After some minutes tanking, [Removed:608] called off. He was shown Q♣10♠ by his opponent and he added his cards to the muck.
Andras Matrai raised to 65,000, receiving calls from Hugues Mazerolle and Hamza Nasir, in the cutoff and big blind respectively.
The action checked to Mazerolle, who took the lead for 50,000 on the 10♥J♣4♦ flop. Nasir folded and Matrai called.
The 5♦ turn saw Matrai check and then fold to a bet of 150,000 from Mazerolle.
