Philip Joyce opened the button and Sylwia Studniarz three-bet to 100,000 from the small blind. After the big blind folded, Joyce shoved for around 300,000, and Studniarz quickly called.
Philip Joyce: 9♠9♥
Sylwia Studniarz: 10♠10♣
Joyce was already on his feet in preparation for his departure before the flop of 5♣K♥3♥ was even dealt. A 10♦ on the turn meant there was no way back for Joyce, as Studniarz improved to an unbeatable set. An inconsequential A♠ on the river confirmed Joyce's exit, and Studniarz' stack climbed to 1,700,000.

Gianfranco Iaculli's tournament life unraveled in dramatic fashion, starting with a costly clash against Pascal Vos. With about 85,000 in the middle and the board showing 9♦4♠9♣K♠, Vos, sitting in the big blind, checked to Iaculli, who bet. Vos responded with a raise to 85,000, which Iaculli called.
The A♠ landed on the river, and Vos moved all in for 280,000. Iaculli snap-called, revealing A♥7♣ for two pair, aces and nines. However, Vos turned over 5♠2♠ for a surprising flush, leaving Iaculli with just 5,000 chips.
In the very next hand, Gal Bar opened to 30,000 from middle position. Iaculli, with no choice but to go all in for his last 5,000, tossed in his chip. Paul Runcan, sitting on the button, three-bet to 85,000, prompting Bar to fold and leaving Iaculli to face Runcan in a heads-up showdown.
Gianfranco Iaculli: 5♣5♥
Paul Runcan: A♦K♠
Iaculli had a slight edge preflop, but the K♥7♣7♥ flop all but sealed his fate as Runcan paired his king. The Q♣ turn and 10♠ river confirmed the inevitable, sending Iaculli out in 52nd place after a rapid descent.

Nikita Kuznetsov opened the hijack and Alessandro Pichierri shoved his very short stack of just a few big blinds into the middle. When it got back to Kuznetsov, he put in the extra.
Alessandro Pichierri: A♥Q♣
Nikita Kuznetsov: 9♣8♣
Pichierri was in the lead, but fell deep into a hole on the 9♠K♦8♠ flop as Kuznetsov made two pair. A 3♥ on the turn sealed Pichierri's fate, and the meaningless 7♣ filled out the board.
