A hand after taking a big hit against Tomas Jozonis, Mitch Garshofsky shoved for his last 870,000 on the button and Sami Bechahed called in the small blind. Julien Mariani was all-in on the outer table, and they waited for the conclusion of that hand before turning over their cards.
Mitch Garshofsky: 7♦7♣ 
Sami Bechahed: Q♥Q♣
Garshofsky found himself dominated as the flop came 5♦3♦2♣, but the 9♦ turn gave him some hope with a flush draw. "One time," he said, but the Q♠ river only improved Bechahed to a set to send Garshofsky to the rail in tenth place.
The remaining nine players are drawing for seats at the final table.

Julien Mariani: A♠7♠
Felix Schneiders: 10♣10♦
Amidst competing calls of "ace" and "hold" from their respective rails, the board ran out K♦Q♥5♥3♥5♠ to keep Schneiders in the lead with his tens and send Mariani to the rail in eleventh place.

Tomas Jozonis was first to act and opened to 200,000. Mitch Garshofsky called in the small blind, and Sami Bechahed defended his big blind.
The 8♥5♥A♥ flop was checked to Jozonis, who continued with a bet of 175,000. Garshofsky just called before Bechahed moved out of the way.
Both players then checked the 9♣ turn, and the J♣ was subsequently put on the table as the river. Garshofsky fired a bet of 500,000, which Jozonis reluctantly called.
Garshofsky tabled 5♠5♣ for bottom set, but Jozonis had made a straight with Q♦10♦ to be awarded the sizable pot and leave Garshofsky short.

One hand later, Schneiders opened to 200,000 on the button. Table leader Nazar Buhaiov was in the big blind and put Schneiders all-in, leading to another quick fold.

Jorge Abreu opened for a size of 200,000 in middle position, holding A♣K♣. Tomas Jozonis put in a sizable three-bet to 900,000 from the big blind with A♠3♥, and Abreu called after inquiring about his opponent's stack.
The flop fell 9♠10♥K♠. Jozonis checked to Abreu, and Abreu checked back. The A♥ was then dropped as the turn. Jozonis kept up the passivity with another check, but Abreu fired a bet of 650,000 with his two pair.
Jozonis correctly let go of his top pair as Abreu took a bigger lead over the rest of the table.
