In a limped pot between the blinds, Traian Stanciu bet 125,000 on a flop of 6♣3♦2♠ and Matan Krakow called.
Both players checked the Q♣ turn. Krakow then led out for 400,000 on the 3♣ river, and Stanciu snap-called.
Krakow showed A♥Q♠ for two pair, but Stanciu had rivered trips holding 5♣3♠ to win the pot.
Bora Kurtulus opened his button to 200,000. Matan Krakow was in the big blind and defended.
Kurtulus fired a quick continuation-bet of 100,000 on the 2♠10♥9♥ flop, which Krakow check-called.
The 3♣ then checked through to the 3♠ river. Krakow slid in a bet of 450,000. Kurtulus weighed his options for about ten seconds before he assembled calling chips and slid them in the middle.
Krakow could only table queen-high with Q♠8♥. Kurtulus showed K♠7♣ for an amazing hero call with king-high, and he raked in the pot to increase his lead over the field.
Thomas Bazin moved all in for 645,000 in the cutoff and Bora Kurtulus called in the small blind.
Thomas Bazin: K♣J♣ 
Bora Kurtulus: A♥10♣
The flop came A♦8♥3♥ to give Kurtulus top pair, and Bazin was left drawing only to running cards to stay alive. The Q♠ turn gave him outs to a straight, but he missed the 7♥ river and was eliminated in ninth place.
Conor O'Driscoll was in late position and raised to 200,000. Dimitrios Gkatzas flatted on the button. After the blinds had folded, the duo saw the Q♥10♣J♠ flop.
O'Driscoll started with a check, and Gkatzas checked back. The 2♦ turn and 7♦ river followed the same recipe. O'Driscoll tabled A♣10♥ for a pair of tens, beating the 6♥6♣ of Gkatzas to chip back up.
On the next deal, O'Driscoll made it 200,000 to go in middle position, with only the 10♥ being picked up by the card reader. Traian Stanciu three-bet to 600,000 in the hijack with Q♥J♥, and O'Driscoll let go of his mystery hand.
Bora Kurtulus raised to 200,000 in the hijack before Matan Krakow three-bet to 600,000 on the button with 8♥7♥. Kurtulus folded A♠3♦.
Vitezslav Cech then raised to 200,000 in middle position with K♠J♠, and Krakow again three-bet to 600,000 in the cutoff holding A♠Q♥. Cech called, and they saw a flop of Q♣4♠2♦.
Krakow then bet 400,000 with top pair, and Cech used up two time banks before folding.
Vitezslav Cech raised to 200,000 in the hijack. Bora Kurtulus called in the cutoff, and the two went heads up to the A♣10♥J♦ flop.
They both checked, after which the dealer placed the 6♠ on the turn. Cech bet 150,000, and Kurtulus quickly called. The K♥ river was knuckled to showdown, where Cech revealed A♥9♥.
Kurtulus had rivered the better hand with his K♦J♣, however, and crossed the ten-million mark with his two pair.
Vitezslav Cech raised to 200,000 in the cutoff and Matan Krakow called in the big blind.
Cech continued for 175,000 on the 9♦4♣3♠ flop and Krakow called. Cech then bet 525,000 on the 10♠ turn, and Krakow again called.
Krakow checked to Cech again on the 8♥ river, and this time Cech checked back. Krakow turned over Q♠9♠ for a pair of nines, and Cech mucked A♥K♥.
Bora Kurtulus limped in from the small blind, and Conor O'Driscoll checked his option in the big blind.
Kurtulus bet 100,000 on the 7♣10♦Q♣ flop and 200,000 on the Q♥ turn. O'Driscoll called both times, leading to the 8♠ arriving on the river.
Kurtulus again doubled his sizing, firing 400,000 into the pot. O'Driscoll grabbed raising chips, making the total bet 1,400,000. Kurtulus quickly called.
O'Driscoll could only show a missed draw with K♥J♦, leaving Kurtulus to comfortably take the pot with his Q♦3♣ for trip queens.
