Niclas Thumm bet 22,000 from middle position on a flop of Q♥J♣7♣ and Eros Calderone called in the hijack, as did big blind Selahaddin Bedir. Kostadin Kostadinov then raised to 75,000 under the gun and only Bedir called.
The turn was the 4♠ and Kostadinov moved all in. Bedir snap-called and turned over Q♣4♣ for two pair. Kostadinov had A♣A♦.
The 3♥ fell on the river and Bedir secured the pot. The stacks were counted down and they had the exact same 142,000 remaining, sending Kostadinov to the rail.

There were four all in and calls on the latest round of hand-for-hand, the first saw Kevin Schulz double through Candido Cappiello.
Tournament Director Toby Stone then went to Table 1 for the second showdown.
Oleksii Ievchenko opened to 8,000 from early position and short stack Oleksii Natoptanyi moved all in for 22,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Ievchenko who made the call.
Oleksii Natoptanyi: J♣J♥
Oleksii Ievchenko: K♥3♣
Natoptanyi was immediately drawing to two outs as Ievchenko paired up on the K♣Q♣4♦ flop. The 4♠ turn, and 10♣ river confirmed Natoptanyi as one of the bubble boys.
The action then moved to Table 4 where Demosthenes Kiriopoulos raised from late position, Sylvain Loosli moved all in from the big blind for 93,000 and Kiriopoulos made the call. Loosli was at risk as players flipped their cards.
Sylvain Loosli: K♣K♦
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: A♠10♣
Loosli was well ahead with pocket kings, but the board ran out 3♥6♥4♠6♣A♣. The river gave Kiriopoulos a pair of aces, and Loosli was the second player to bust on the bubble.
For the final all-in and call, Jeremie Zouari raised to 8,000 on the button and Lincoln De Souza called in the big blind.
Both players checked to the river on a board of 2♥2♦A♣Q♥Q♠. De Souza moved all in for 24,000 and Zouari snap-called. The two players told each other their respective hands before their reveal, and De Souza already knew his fate was sealed.
De Souza eventually turned over Q♦J♦ for a queens full of deuces, but Zouari had A♥A♦ for aces full of deuces to send De Souza to the rail.
With three players eliminated on the bubble, Natoptanyi, Loosli and De Souza earned a three-way split of 174th and 175th place, each receiving €5,800.

George Tomescu: A♠3♣
The 10♠7♠9♦ flop was safe for Capdevila Montes but the J♠ turn gave Tomescu nine outs to the flush to go along with his overcard. The Q♦ river was a brick and the short stack doubled.

Edoardo Dellisola was already all in from the big blind for 4,000 chips. Nathan Tetart limped from middle position and the rest of the table folded. Players turned their cards.
Edoardo Dellisola: J♥10♦
Nathan Tetart: Q♥10♥
"That's not what I want to see," said Dellisola, as he realized he was drawing very slim.
The board ran out 6♣5♠A♥10♣A♠. Both players paired their tens and made two pair with the aces on board. Tetart's queen kicker played and Dellisola was eliminated one from the bubble.
