In what would be the last hand of the tournament, Zine-Din Benrebai shoved on the button and Tung Nguyen called all in for his last 5,000,000.
Tung Nguyen: Q♣10♥
Zine-Din Benrebai: K♦J♣
The J♠A♥3♠ flop paired Benrebai's jack, but kept Nguyen drawing live with his queen and gutshot straight draw.
It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 7♦ turn and 8♦ river bricked out for Nguyen — eliminating him in second place.
Brice de Kermadec shoved for his last 1,900,00 on the button and it was folded to Tung Nguyen, who called in the big blind to put de Kermadec at risk.
Brice de Kermadec: 4♥4♣
Tung Nguyen: A♥J♥
It was a virtual coinflip for de Kermadec's tournament life, but the K♥9♠10♠Q♦6♣ runout improved Nguyen to Broadway on the turn to send de Kermadec out in third place.
Angel Insua shoved for 1,925,000 from under the gun and Tung Nguyen called from the small blind having Insua slightly covered. Brice de Kermadec folded 9♠9♦ from the big blind after a lengthy tank and a showdown was held between Insua and Nguyen.
Angel Insua: Q♣J♠
Tung Nguyen: A♥10♠
The board ran out 6♠5♥K♣7♥3♠ — keeping Nguyen ahead with his ace and eliminating Insua in fourth place.
Angel Insua limped on the button and Zine-Din Benrebai called behind in the small blind. Robin Engelmann checked his option in the big blind and the three players were dealt a flop, which came J♣7♥Q♣.
It was then checked to Insua, who bet 150,000. Benrebai called, but Engelmann check-raised all in for 1,140,000. Insua also went all in for 1,925,000 and Benrebai laid his hand down.
Robin Engelmann: Q♦7♠
Angel Insua: K♥K♦
Insua had been trapping with kings, but found himself behind Engelmann's flopped two pair.
The A♠ turn changed nothing, but the J♦ river improved Insua to a superior two pair and Engelmann was eliminated in fifth place in dramatic fashion.
Cyril Peralez shoved for hist last 1,255,000 from the cutoff and just behind him, Zine-Din Benrebai also went all in for more. The players in the blinds got out of the way and the board was run.
Cyril Peralez: A♠9♣
Zine-Din Benrebai: Q♦Q♣
The 4♥6♥9♠2♦6♣ runout kept Benrebai best with his ladies and Peralez was eliminated in sixth place.
Karim Kaladjou was forced all in for his last 75,000 in the big blind and Angel Insua raised to 300,000 from the cutoff. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.
Karim Kaladjou: 9♦7♠
Angel Insua: 8♥8♦
The 6♥A♥3♦4♥9♥ runout paired Kaladjou's nine, but left Insua best with a one-card flush to eliminate Kaladjou in seventh place.
Loris Corbelli shoved for his last 1,050,000 from the cutoff and it was folded to Zine-Din Benrebai, who also went all in more from the small blind. Karim Kaladjou got out of the way in the big blind and hands were revealed.
Loris Corbelli: A♣7♦
Zine-Din Benrebai: 10♥10♣
Corbelli would need some help, but the K♣K♥2♣2♠Q♥ runout kept Benrebai's tens best and Corbelli was eliminated in eighth place.
Angel Insua opened to 160,000 from the hijack with 7♦7♥ and Damien Noraz defended his big blind with J♦9♥.
Noraz checked to Insua, who continued for 150,000 on the A♥5♥A♠ flop. Noraz then check-raised to 300,000 and Insua called.
The K♠ fell on the turn and Noraz bet 300,000. Insua again called.
Noraz wasn't done and announced he was all in for his last 500,00 after the Q♣ completed the board.
Insua went deep into the tank as he contemplated his decision, but ended up making the correct call with his pair of sevens and Noraz was eliminated in ninth place.
Action folded to Tung Nguyen in the small blind, who raised enough to put Tedeschi all in for his last 300,000 in the big blind.
Tedeschi peeked at his hole cards and slid his stack into the middle to put himself at risk.
Erich Tedeschi: A♣3♣
Tung Nguyen: Q♥7♣
Tedeschi was ahead with his ace, but the K♦4♦7♦8♣9♠ runout paired Nguyen's seven to send Tedeschi out in 10th place and burst the final-table bubble.
Karim Kaladjou opened to 120,000 from under the gun and Quentin Girardet shoved for his last 175,000 on the button. Action folded back to Kaladjou, who put in a single chip to indicate a call.
Quentin Girardet: A♦7♣
Karim Kaladjou: A♥8♥
The board ran out 9♣A♠K♥4♦6♣, which left Kaladjou best with his eight kicker to eliminate Girardet in 11th place.
