Seire was faced with a decision holding Q♥Q♣, but he eventually gave up his big pair for the second time today. Abreu, though, called to put both opponents at risk.

Thierry Gogniat: A♦J♥
Tomas Jozonis: K♠K♥
Jorge Abreu: A♠8♠
The J♠9♠8♦ flop gave Gogniat top pair and Abreu the nut flush draw, while Jozonis remained in the lead with his kings. The turn, though, brought the 3♠ to give Abreu his flush, and Gogniat and Jozonis were already drawing dead. The river was the 9♥ and Abreu scored the double knockout, Gogniat taking seventh place while Jozonis finished in sixth as the bigger stack.
Felix Schneiders limped in from the small blind before Jorge Abreu raised to 525,000 in the big blind with A♣Q♥. Schneiders folded J♣10♦.

The 8♥ fell on the river and Abreu used a few time banks before moving all in. Coppola snap-called for 1,100,000, and Abreu showed A♠A♥. Coppola, though, had Q♥Q♣ for a full house to win the pot and double up.
On Hand #1 of the final table, Felix Schneiders moved all in for 1,950,000 under the gun and Thierry Gogniat reshoved for 2,950,000 in the hijack. Action folded around to Casimir Seire in the big blind, and he gave it some thought before folding J♥J♣.
