Danilo Donnini made it 2,000,000 to go on the button, and Narcis Nedelcu called in the big blind.
Donnini fired 2,300,000 into the pot on the Q♦9♣6♣, which Nedelcu check-called. Both players then knuckled the table on the J♥ turn, and the 8♥ river was checked to showdown as well.
Nedelcu tabled 9♦7♠ for a pair of nines, besting the A♦6♥ of Donnini to rake in the pot.
Narcis Nedelcu opened to 1,600,000 in the cutoff. Isaac Barker spent some time in the tank before moving all in from the small blind, and Nedelcu snapped him off, putting his stack of 20,300,000 at risk.
Narcis Nedelcu: J♥J♦ 
Isaac Barker: 9♠9♣
Nedelcu flopped top set on 6♥7♥J♣. Barker's runner-runner outs were dead after the Q♦ turn, and Nedelcu finished the hand by making a full house on the Q♣ river, doubling him up in style.
Daryl McAleenan opened his button to 1,600,000. Oliver Gayko looked at his cards in the big blind and flicked in some calling chips.
McAleenan continued for 1,500,000 on the K♠10♦9♥ flop, and Gayko check-called. The A♣ turn was then checked by both players, after which the J♦ river completed the board.
Gayko led out for 3,500,000. McAleenan spent one of his time banks before moving all in for 9,300,000. Gayko took some time to think things through, but ultimately called off.
McAleenan tabled K♣Q♥ for the nuts, while Gayko showed 8♠7♣ for a lower straight. McAleenan doubled up to a healthy stack of over 30 big blinds.
Vasyl Palandiuk raised to 1,600,000 in the cutoff and quickly called when Matthew Twomey committed his stack of 6,300,000 on the button.
Matthew Twomey: A♠J♥
Vasyl Palandiuk: 8♠8♣
Palandiuk had just two direct outs after Twomey flopped trips on J♠J♣4♣, but he hit one of them on the 8♥ turn to take a big lead. His full house firmly held on the 2♥ river, sending Tomey to the rail in eighth place.
Vasyl Palandiuk made it 1,200,000 to go in the hijack. Edward Dunphy tossed in calling chips in the big blind before he checked the J♦5♣K♥ flop.
Palandiuk flicked in the minimum bet of 600,000, eliciting an all-in raise to 6,300,000 from Dunphy. Palandiuk quickly called to put Dunphy at risk.
Edward Dunphy: J♥9♣
Vasyl Palandiuk: K♠10♦
Palandiuk had flopped the higher pair for a big lead. The 7♦ turn did not help Dunphy in any capacity, and the 3♠ river bricked off as well.
Dunphy was left without chips and was eliminated in ninth place, being the first player to depart from the final table.
Edward Dunphy moved his stack of 2,400,000 in from early position. Vasyl Palandiuk called on the button, and Isaac Barker did so in the big blind.
Palandiuk and Barker checked the 10♥7♣3♦A♣9♦ board to showdown. Dunphy tabled K♠9♠ for a rivered pair, besting the Q♥J♠ of Palandiuk and Q♣4♣ of Barker to take the pot and triple up.
Vasyl Palandiuk open-raised to 1,200,000 in the cutoff. Jarkko Suokas then three-bet jammed his stack of 13,600,000 in from the small blind, and chip leader Danilo Donnini reshoved in the big blind.
Palandiuk immediately mucked his cards, forcing a showdown between the other two players.
Jarkko Suokas: K♥Q♠
Danilo Donnini: Q♥Q♣
Suokas needed a king to stay in contention for the title, but the deck had none in store on the J♥5♠2♦6♥5♦ runout. Suokas packed his bags in tenth place, and the remaining nine players were redrawn for the final table.
Edward Dunphy raised his button to 1,300,000. Oliver Gayko was in the small blind and three-bet to 3,800,000, which Dunphy called.
Gayko continued for 2,000,000 on the 4♠2♣8♠ flop. Dunphy called to the A♣ turn, where Gatko kept firing, this time for the amount of 3,000,000.
Dunphy spent some time in the tank before he moved all in, and Gayko snapped off his stack of 12,200,000.
Oliver Gayko: 2♠2♦
Edward Dunphy: 6♣5♣
Dunphy's combo draw did not come in the Q♥ river. Gayko's set doubled him up in the massive pot, while Dunphy was left with a stack of just six big blinds.
Jarkko Suokas opened to 1,200,000 under the gun. It folded to Francesco Gisolfi in the big blind, who opted to defend.
Gisolfi check-called Suokas' continuation-bet of 1,700,000 on the 10♠J♠9♥ flop. Both players then checked the Q♣ turn, prompting Gisolfi to bet 4,000,000 on the 8♥ river.
Suokas quickly mucked his cards, giving up on the pot and seeing his neighbor leapfrog him in the counts.
