Pierre-Alexis Bizot: A♣10♣
Dario Mancuso: A♦A♠
It was the worst-possible scenario for Bizot, and the 5♦2♥2♣7♠3♠ runout kept Mancuso best with rockets to eliminate Bizot in 24th place.

Action folded around to the blinds, where Shai Zurr shoved for his last 315,000 from the small blind. Alain Crettenand asked for a count and stuck in a call from the big blind after verifying the amount.
Shai Zurr: A♠8♣
Alain Crettenand: A♦J♣
Zurr found himself in rough shape, and the A♥3♠10♥K♦7♠ runout kept Crettenand best with his superior kicker to claim the rest of Zurr's chips.

Clément Gouges and Loris Corbelli were heads-up on a flop of 9♠8♥6♠.
Gouges checked from the big blind and Corbelli bet 55,000. Gouges then check-raised all in, which was enough to put Corbelli all in for 335,000 total. Corbelli committed his stack into the middle and a showdown took place.
Loris Corbelli: J♠J♣
Clément Gouges: A♣9♦
Corbelli was ahead with his overpair, and the K♠3♥ runout keep his jacks in the lead to award him the double up.

On the feature table, Abel Pruchon in early position raised to 30,000 and he was called by both Angel Insua to his left and Erich Tedeschi in the small blind.
Karim Kaladjou in the big blind three-bet to 150,000, then Pruchon four-bet all-in for 655,000. Insua and Tedeschi folded, but Kaladjou quickly called.
Abel Pruchon: K♦K♣
Karim Kaladjou: A♦A♥
Pruchon ran into aces and couldn't do much on 5♥Q♥2♣2♥8♦, so he was eliminated in 33rd place for €2,620.

Tung Nguyen opened to 40,000 from early position and action folded to Noreddine Kacem in the small blind, who shoved for a bit under 100,000. Nguyen quickly called to put Kacem at risk and hands were revealed.
Noreddine Kacem: A♠K♥
Tung Nguyen: A♣10♣
Kacem was in good shape to double up with his dominating ace, but the 10♠5♦A♦6♣7♥ runout left Nguyen best with two pair and Kacem was eliminated.

Julien Dupre opened to 30,000 on the button and Filippo Lazzaretto shoved from the big blind. Dupre tanked a bit, but eventually committed his stack worth about 300,000 into the middle.
Julien Dupre: A♣8♦
Filippo Lazzaretto: K♦Q♣
The K♣6♦J♠ flop paired Lazzaretto's king to give him a commanding lead, but the A♠ fell on the turn to pull Dupre back ahead.
It wasn't over, however, as the 10♦ river upgraded Lazzaretto to Broadway to eliminate Dupre from the tournament in dramatic fashion.
Moments later, PokerStars Ambassador Benjamin "Benny" Bruneteaux was eliminated as well.

Nicolas Schegerin shoved for approximately 150,000 from middle position and just behind him, Loris Corbelli also went all in for more in the hijack. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.
Nicolas Schegerin: A♠10♦
Loris Corbelli: K♣Q♣
The J♠J♣2♦ flop and 10♠ turn were safe for Schegerin, but the Q♠ river paired Corbelli's queen to put an end to Schegerin's tournament.
