Xiaosheng Zheng made it 400,000 to go with 7♠7♦ in the hijack. Jose Criado called 9♠9♣ in the cutoff, and Nicolas Chouity defended 3♦3♣ in the big blind.
Zheng continued for 500,000 once the Q♣A♣A♠ flop had been dealt. It earned him two folds, and he raked in the chips.
Jose Criado opened his button to 400,000. The short-stacked Edward Pak committed his final 1,100,000 from the small blind, and Criado instantly called.
Edward Pak: A♥10♥ 
Jose Criado: A♠A♦
The 2♥J♦Q♦ flop brought Pak an opportunity, but his gutshot did not arrive on the 3♣ turn or 5♠ river. Criado scored another knockout, eliminating Pak in eighth place.
Joris Ruijs was first to act and raised to 200,000. Jose Criado was in the next seat over, three-betting to 1,100,000. It folded back to Ruijs, who wagered his entire stack of 4,650,000. Criado snap-called to put him at risk.
Joris Ruijs: A♣K♥
Jose Criado: Q♥Q♦
Criado and his rail erupted in cheers as the 7♦Q♣4♠ flop presented him with top set. The 9♠ turn locked up the pot for the Spanish player, and the meaningless A♦ river was dealt as Ruijs said his goodbyes to the table.
Ruijs finished in ninth place, bubbling the official final table only half a year after the same fate befell him at EPT Paris.
Michael Dwyer was in the cutoff and raised to 425,000. Nicolas Chouity fancied a flop on the button and called, and Manuel Ferrari came along in the big blind.
After Ferrari checked, Dwyer placed a continuation-bet of 350,000 on the Q♥7♣6♣ flop. Chouity forfeited any chance at the pot by folding K♠J♠, but Ferrari called.
Dwyer kept firing on the A♠ turn, cutting out 825,000 from his stack and sliding it into the middle. Ferrari called, and the dealer dealt the board-completing 9♦ river.
Ferrari and Dwyer both decided to check. Ferrari revealed A♣4♣ for top pair, besting Dwyer's 2♥2♦ to claim the chips.
Manuel Ferrari raised to 400,000 with 9♥9♣ in early position. Xiaosheng Zheng was next to act, and he flat-called with Q♠J♠.
The two went heads-up to the K♣10♥8♠ flop, where Ferrari checked. Zheng checked behind, but he bet 750,000 once Ferrari also checked the 4♣ turn.
After some thought, Ferrari let go of his pocket pair, shipping the pot to Zheng.
Level: 32
Blinds: 100,000/200,000
Ante: 200,000
Edward Pak found A♠K♥ in middle position and raised to 350,000. Michael Dwyer called K♣Q♠ in the cutoff, and Manuel Ferrari defended his big blind with 10♦9♠.
The trio saw a flop of Q♦7♦Q♣. Ferrari checked to Pak, who continued for 325,000. Dwyer just called, while Ferrari folded.
Both players checked the 7♥ turn, and Pak quickly check-folded when Dwyer bet 700,000 on the 5♦ river.
Nicolas Chouity was under the gun and raised to 300,000 with 8♦7♦. Joris Ruijs, in the hijack, inquired about Chouity's stack before three-betting to 750,000 with A♣9♦.
Chouity decided to fold his suited connector, shipping the pot to Ruijs preflop.
On the next deal, Ruijs opened K♦6♦ to 300,000 from middle position. It folded to Chouity in the big blind, who shoved all in for 3,550,000, holding A♠K♣.
Ruijs quickly mucked his hand, returning the chips to Chouity's stack.
Edward Pak raised to 300,000 from the hijack, and Gerard Carbo defended his big blind.
Playing in flow, Carbo checked on the 10♠5♣8♣ flop and called when Pak continued for 275,000. The 4♦ turn was checked through, and the 9♥ completed the board. Carbo opted to lead out with a bet of 675,000, which Pak called.
Carbo tabled A♠9♠, with his kicker being the difference, as Pak held Q♣9♦.
