Sebastian Malec opened from the hijack to 120,000. Riccardo Usai moved all in from the button for around 750,000. Grzegorz Kozieja then moved all in from the big blind. Malec folded.
Riccardo Usai: 7♠7♥
Grzegorz Kozieja: 10♠10♣
Usai couldn't bink the two outer across the Q♠K♣Q♣K♦3♠ runout and he was sent to the rail.
Jari Mahonen moved all in for 400,000 from under the gun and got action from [Removed:548].
Jari Mahonen: A♠7♥
[Removed:548]: A♦J♣
Mahonen was dominated, but the 8♣7♣5♦ flop put him in front with a pair of sevens.
The 10♣ turn was pretty much the worst card in the deck for the Finn, giving [Removed:549] a straight draw and a flush draw.
"Too many outs" said Mahonen, and sure enough the J♠ hit on the river to send [Removed:549] the pot with a pair of jacks, and bring us to the final table bubble.
Grzegorz Kozieja opened to 160,000 in the cutoff and was faced with a three-bet jam to 680,000 by Ori Miller from the button. Action back to Kozieja, who called after some deliberation.
Ori Miller: 6♣6♠
Grzegorz Kozieja: K♣10♠
Miller was ahead in a flip, and the J♠7♣7♥ flop was clean, although raised counterfeit possibilities.
The Q♠ turn kept Miller in front, but he was counterfeited by the J♥ river, to bring his run to an end in cruel fashion.

Bakker got it in good but Zoufri made trips across the 10♠A♣J♣A♦4♥ runout to send Bakker to the rail.

Action back to Malec, who four-bet jammed with the slightly covering stack. Hagstrom quickly got his 2,675,000 total stack into the middle.
Jonas Hagstrom: K♠K♥
Sebastian Malec: A♠K♣
Hagstrom was in great shape for a significant double, and it was confirmed by the J♠9♠8♥J♦K♦ runout, Hagstrom finishing with a full house. Day 3 chip leader Malec was left with crumbs.
Grzegorz Kozieja opened to 220,000 from middle position. Sebastian Malec moved all in from the cutoff for 200,000. Action folded around and the players showed down.
Sebastian Malec: A♠J♠
Grzegorz Kozieja: 6♣6♦
Kozieja flopped a set on 4♦8♦6♠. Malec was drawing dead on the Q♥ turn and the A♦ improved his hand but not enough to stay in the tournament.
Abdelhakim Zoufri jammed for 1,375,000 from the cutoff and was looked up by Mats Ullereng on the button.
Abdelhakim Zoufri: A♥K♦
Mats Ullereng: J♠J♦
Zoufri needed some help from the board versus Ullereng's jacks, but he was drawing dead by the turn on the 8♣5♥4♣J♣2♠ runout.
Grzegorz Kozieja opened to 350,000 from the cutoff and [Removed:548] three-bet jammed with the slightly covering stack from the small blind. Kozieja peeked at his cards, and made the call for his 2,520,000 stack.
Grzegorz Kozieja: J♦J♥
[Removed:548]: A♣10♣
Kozieja was in good shape versus a single overcard, and his double-up was confirmed by the 6♦4♦3♣10♠K♦ runout.
[Removed:548] opened to 300,000 from middle position. David Vinaya clicked it to 575,000 from the cutoff. Humberto Lopes Galindo moved all in for around 2,750,000. [Removed:549] put in his remaining 410,000 and Vinaya folded.
[Removed:548]: A♥K♥
Humberto Lopes Galindo: 8♠8♥
The 6♠A♦5♣10♥7♦ runout was no sweat for [Removed:549] and he secured a crucial double up.
