Mario Fata: Q♦Q♥

The remaining 73 players have been sent on a 20-minute break.
Erich Tedeschi opened to 16,000 on the button and Dorian Decauche shoved for approximately 200,000 from the big blind. Tedeschi quickly called to put Decauche at risk and a showdown was held.
Dorian Decauche: A♥J♠
Erich Tedeschi: J♦J♥
Decauche was in trouble against Tedeschi's jacks, and the 10♣Q♣4♠J♣7♥ runout left Tedeschi best with a set to eliminate Decauche.
Tedeschi, who started the day with just 40,000, has been on an absolute tear today and currently sits with approximately 900,000 in chips.
Thomas Pandelis went all in on the button for his last 52,000 and it was folded to Brice de Kermadec, who snap-called from the big blind to put Pandelis at risk.
Thomas Pandelis: A♥J♣
Brice de Kermadec: K♥K♣
Pandelis was in rough shape against de Kermadec's cowboys, and the Q♥4♠4♥10♦10♥ offered no help to Pandelis, who was eliminated.
Cassandra Yong shoved for approximately 50,000 first to act and action folded to Morgan Deleaz, who called from the small blind to put Yong at risk.
Cassandra Yong: K♦Q♠
Morgan Deleaz: A♥9♥
The 4♣7♥A♠J♠2♣ runout left Deleaz best with a pair of aces and Yong was sent to the payout desk.
Karim Kaladjou opened from the hijack, then called after Michal Polchlopek on the button three-bet all-in for 139,000.
Michal Polchlopek: Q♣Q♥
Karim Kaladjou: A♥A♣
Polchlopek ran into aces on the bubble, so he needed a queen to survive. He couldn't find one on the K♦9♠5♥ flop, then was drawing dead when Kaladjou hit a set on the A♠. The 7♥ completed the board and Polchlopek was eliminated on the bubble.
Another all-in and call situation occurred at the same time, but the two players involved in this hand split the pot.
