The player first to act opened to 700 and was three-bet to 2,100 by [Removed:516] from directly behind. Maher Achour called cold from the cutoff and the initial raiser called as well for a three-way pot.
It was checked to [Removed:516], who bet 3,900 on the 4♥K♦Q♠ flop. Both of his opponents quickly folded and [Removed:516] padded his stack.
The player under the gun opened to 600 and was three-bet to 2,100 by another player in early position. Iulian Andrei Bleau called cold from middle position and the initial raiser folded.
Bleau's opponent checked on the 5♠Q♠3♥ flop and Bleau tossed a single 1,000-denomination chip into the middle. His opponent wanted no part of it and slid his hand into the muck — conceding the pot to Bleau.

Souleiman Ben Sta and Maher Achour were heads-up on a flop of J♠4♥5♣ with approximatley 20,000 already in the middle.

Maher Achour : A♣Q♥
Souleiman Ben Sta: A♠J♣

It was checked to Freitas, who continued for 400 on the 5♥4♦J♣ flop. His opponent then check-raised to 1,300 and Freitas called.
Freitas called a 2,600 bet from the big blind on the 2♦ turn and both players checked down on the 6♠ river.
The big blind turned over J♠Q♥ for a pair of jacks, but Freitas tabled A♠J♦ for a pair of jacks with a superior kicker to take down the pot.
Felix Schneiders opened to 400 from the hijack and Valentin Hamiche defended his big blind for a heads-up pot.

Fabio Calo was heads-up from under the gun against a lone opponent in the big blind on a board of 5♠10♦3♠4♣ with a large pot already in the middle. The big blind had already committed their last 11,000 into the middle against Calo, who had his opponent covered.
Big blind: 5♥3♦
Fabio Calo: 10♠10♥
Calo's top set had his opponent's two pair already drawing dead and an irrelevant 6♠ completed the board to make the elimination official.
Christian Bombled was seen getting up from his seat, having surrendered his entire chip stack over to Nicolas Payet on a completed board of 6♥10♥2♠2♥10♣.
Bombled had Q♠Q♣ in front of him, which was no good against Payet's K♥K♠ in what was a brutal cooler situation.
