Seyed Moussavi Nameghi shoved for his last 63,000 from early position and Michal Polchlopek also went all in for 86,000 from middle position. Everyone else folded and hands were revealed.
Seyed Moussavi Nameghi: A♥K♦
Michal Polchlopek: Q♥Q♣
It was a classic race, but the 4♦3♥9♦6♦8♠ runout came clean for Polchlopek's queens and Nameghi was eliminated as the money bubble approaches.
Fahad El Mechraa opened to 22,000 from the cutoff and Kevin Hasler called from the small blind for a heads-up pot.
Hasler check-called a 44,000 bet from El Mechraa on the 8♦J♠10♣ flop and then check-folded Q♦Q♣ face up after El Mechraa fired 105,000 into the middle on the 4♠ turn.
El Mechraa graciously showed he held J♥J♣ for top set before collecting the pot.

Leandro Dirlewanger opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 35,000 by Alexander Ovechkin on the button. Ludovic Pascaud called cold from the small blind and Dirlewanger folded.
Both players checked on the A♠A♦4♠ flop and then Ovechkin called a 35,000 bet from Pascaud on the 9♦ turn.
Pascaud bet 40,000 after the 5♣ completed the board and Ovechkin went all in for 43,000 total. Pascaud called and Ovechkin turned over A♣K♦ for trip aces with a king kicker.
Pascaud couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the double up to Ovechkin.
Adel Naoun opened to 12,000 from under the gun and Florian Bernigaud shoved for his last 43,000 from the cutoff. Just behind Bernigaud, Dorian Decauche also went all in for 188,000 and action folded back to Naoun, who went deep into the tank before deciding to lay his hand down.
Florian Bernigaud: A♦10♠
Dorian Decauche: A♣Q♥
Bernigaud would need some help to keep his main-event run alive, but the Q♠4♠3♥4♣3♦ runout kept Decauche best with a pair of queens and Bernigaud was eliminated.
