Mustafa Ercan got his stack of 150,000 or so in from the cutoff against PokerStars' Fintan Hand in the big blind.
Mustafa Ercan: Q♦J♥ 
Fintan Hand: A♠Q♠
Hand was dominating Ercan. He was the only player to pair up on the 10♥2♦4♦A♣7♠ board and secured the elimination with his pair of aces.
The pot had already swelled to approximately 150,000 with two players looking at a flop of 2♥9♠4♦.
Hugo Machado, in the big blind, bet out 41,000. Mateusz Szymanski, in the hijack, made the call.
The 6♣ turn saw a tank from Machado, resulting in a bet of 125,000. Szymanski finally pitched his cards into the muck.
Daniel Montagnolli was down to 40,000, which he pushed in from the big blind against Ryhor Karapanau on the button.
Daniel Montagnolli: K♣Q♣
Ryhor Karapanau: 10♦10♣
The board ran out low with 7♥4♣7♠9♠6♦ appearing on the table. Montagnolli lost the flip for his tournament life, but left the table with a smile on his face.
Andreas Frohli raised to 16,000 from early position, Andrey Litvinov called in middle position and Abdel-Hakim Khelifa, in the hijack, three-bet jammed for 90,000. Frohli folded and Litvinov called.
Abdel-Hakim Khelifa: A♣Q♠
Andrey Litvinov: A♦J♦
Khelifa was ahead and the 9♠Q♥5♥ flop confirmed this. The Q♣ turn had Litvinov drawing dead and the 4♠ river saw the pot shipped to Khelifa.

Baris Cinitas got his stack of 200,000 in from the hijack against Vidar Oie in early position, who barely covered him.
Baris Cinitas: A♠Q♠
Vidar Oie: J♥J♦
All looked good for Cinitas when he flopped two pair on K♠A♣Q♣. The 2♠ turn provided no additional threats for Cinitas, but the 10♥ river gave Oie a straight to eliminate Cinitas.
When it folded to Yoel Selles in middle position, he shoved for his last 50,000 with just a few more players to get through. Denis Gerasimov looked at his cards in the big blind and thought for a few moments before making the call.
Yoel Selles: K♦4♥
Denis Gerasimov: A♠9♠
Selles looked likely to hit the rail unless he could find a four or king. However, the board ran out 3♠3♣8♥Q♣7♠ which didn't help either player and Gerasimov's ace-nine took down the pot.
The action was caught as Hugues Mazerolle, in the big blind, was all-in and at risk for his effective stack of 82,000, against Nikita Kalinin, in the hijack.
Hugues Mazerolle:A♥Q♠
Nikita Kalinin: A♦3♥
The board ran out 4♠9♦J♠7♠10♣; Mazerolle's kicker played and he doubled up. Once the stacks were verified, Kalinin was left with a single 1,000 chip behind the line.
Ramon Colillas was down to just 44,000, which he got in from the small blind against Jun Lai under the gun.
Ramon Colillas: Q♥Q♦
Jun Lai: J♥J♦
Colillas' queens held on the 8♠6♠A♦10♥9♣ runout and he doubled up to 13 big blinds. Not much later, however, he was seen departing the tournament area as his second all-in turned out less successful.
Kenny Hallaert shoved for 110,000 from the cutoff and Aleksandr Burov called from the big blind to try and bust him.
Kenny Hallaert: A♦J♠
Aleksandr Burov: K♠K♦
Hallaert needed to find and ace to stay alive in the tournament. The dealer put out a board of J♦6♠3♣Q♦7♥ which gave Hallaert top pair, but that wasn't enough to crack the kings of Burov, and Hallaert was eliminated.
