Ramon Munoz raised to 30,000 in middle position and Ramon Colillas called on the button, as did big blind Tan Le.
The flop came J♣9♥5♦ and Munoz bet 55,000. Both opponents called to the 5♠ turn, where Munoz bet another 140,000.
Colillas called, while Le finally took his cards out from under his toy monkey and returned them to the dealer. The 8♦ fell on the river and Munoz bet 200,000. Colillas quickly called once more.
Munoz showed A♣J♥ for two pair, but Colillas had Q♠Q♥ to win the pot.

Julien Sitbon moved all in for 190,000 under the gun, Ferdinando D'Alessio put in a reraise in the hijack, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Julien Sitbon: 9♦9♥
Ferdinando D'Alessio: A♦Q♦
The 4♦3♦J♥ flop gave D'Alessio a flush draw to go with his overcards, and he spiked his flush on the 5♦ turn. Sitbon was already drawing dead before the Q♣ fell on the river, sealing his elimination.
At the same time at another table, Thomas Eychenne and Julian Pineda Lozano arrived at the river on a completed board of 8♠3♥A♥Q♥2♦ with around 200,000 in the pot. Eychenne then bet 85,000 from early position and Pineda Lozano raised to 375,000 in the cutoff.
Eychenne used a few time banks before calling, and Pineda Lozano showed 9♦9♥. Eychenne turned over A♠Q♠ for two pair as he took down another big pot.

Heitor Maciel raised from under the gun to 30,000 and Yohan Rascar three-bet to 95,000 from the next seat. Karl Karlsson was on the button and cold four-bet to 250,000, which got Maciel to fold. Rascar then five-bet to 550,000, and after some time, Karlsson shoved 1,340,000. Rascar snap-called.
Karl Karlsson: Q♠Q♥
Yohan Rascar: A♠A♣
Karlsson had run into the rockets of Rascar, but there were still five cards to come to try and salvage something. However, there was nothing for Karlsson to work with on the 4♣8♦2♦ flop, which left just two shots at the two remaining queens.
None of which appeared on the 7♠9♥ runout, and after the stacks were counted down, Karlsson was eliminated.

While the tournament director was stopping the clock to randomly break a table with 64 players left, Ben Jackson under the gun with 160,000, Antonio Asaro in the cutoff with 240,000 and Rifat Palevic in the big blind who had them covered moved all-in preflop.
Ben Jackson: K♠K♣
Antonio Asaro: 7♦7♠
Rifat Palevic: J♥J♣
Jackson was on his way to triple up, but Palevic flopped a full house on 8♥8♣J♠ to take the lead. The 10♥9♣ runout changed nothing and Palevic eliminated both of his opponents.

Javier Tazon was all in for around 900,000 from the big blind against Thomas Eychenne in the cutoff.
Javier Tazon: K♣K♦
Thomas Eychenne: A♥K♠
The flop of 6♠10♣J♠ kept Tazon's kings ahead, but the Q♦ turn had him drawing to just a chop as Eychenne made Broadway before the 6♣ river bricked off to mark Tazon's elimination.

Kevin Houghton moved all in yet again, this time for 200,000 in the hijack. Javier Tazon called on the button, while Konstantyn Holskyi reshoved in the big blind. Tazon snap-called.
Kevin Houghton: A♥5♥
Konstantyn Holskyi: J♣J♠
Javier Tazon: K♣K♦
"Come on, give me an ace. Flop 'em dead," Houghton pleaded with the dealer going to the flop, and his wish was granted when the flop came A♣10♥2♠. The rest of the board ran out 3♠8♥ and Houghton tripled up.
"That will do. That will do, boys. Now we got a game," Houghton said. After both opponents paid off Houghton, their remaining stacks were counted down and Tazon's 400,000 had Holskyi covered by just 15,000, sending the Ukrainian to the rail.

The flop came Q♥4♥2♥ and Woods continued with a bet of 130,000. Leknes peeled one off to see the J♣ hit the turn, where Woods checked. Leknes then fired in a bet of 325,000, and after some time in the tank, Woods folded his pocket aces.
