Gerard Carbo made the minimum raise to 300,000 on the button. Vasyl Palandiuk called in the big blind and check-called when Carbo continued for 325,000 on the 7♠A♦6♣ flop.
The 3♣ fell on the turn. Carbo sized up significantly, sliding a big bet of 1,350,000 over the line. Palandiuk tossed in another call before the Q♠ river completed the board.
After a third check by Palandiuk, Carbo announced an all-in bet. Palandiuk went deep into the tank, sighing several times as he was visibly uncomfortable with the situation.
Eventually, he stood up and called off his stack of 3,750,000. Carbo showed down A♣6♥, confirming Palandiuk's fears as his A♠3♦ was the lesser of the two pairs tabled.
Palandiuk took his exit in tenth place, leaving the other nine players to converge on the final table.

Ivan Martinez was under the gun and opted to shove in his stack of 900,000. It folded to Modar Alsoud, who also went all in. The blinds quickly folded to the three-bet to 2,175,000, and the players showed down.
Ivan Martinez: 6♠6♦ 
Modar Alsoud: A♣K♦
Alsoud spiked an ace on the 7♦2♣J♦A♦ turn to leave Martinez drawing slim. The 7♥ river did not bring a set for the Spaniard, resulting in his exit in 11th place.

Pierre Azzopardi opened to 350,000 from the hijack and was called by Siarhei Sochneu from the big blind.
Siarhei Sochneu check-jammed over a bet of 575,000 on the A♥10♦6♥ flop. Azzopardi had around 3,500,000 behind and called for his tournament life.
Pierre Azzopardi: K♥10♥
Siarhei Sochneu: A♣10♣
Sochneu was ahead with aces and tens, with Azzopardi live to the flush. The Q♠ turn gave Azzopardi three more outs but they failed to come in after the 3♦ river.
