Vasilis Nikolas raised to 1,300,000 from under the gun, holding A♠2♥. Loris Greco, in the small blind, called with Q♠5♠, as did Luca Beretta, in the big blind, with K♦J♦.
The 6♣J♠5♦ flop saw Greco play out of flow, leading for 825,000. Only Beretta called.
Greco gained some outs on the 4♠ turn, but elected to check. Beretta took the lead for 2,350,000 and Greco called.
The 8♦ river saw Greco play out of flow again, bluffing for 2,525,000. Beretta made the call to take down this pot with his pair of jacks.
With the €30,000 bounty still looming, the remaining players have decided to make a deal to flatten the payouts according to their stack size.
| Player | Prize |
|---|---|
| Loris Greco | €91,100 |
| Luca Beretta | €84,770 |
| Vasilis Nikolas | €96,100 |
| Axel Bayout | €89,280 |
They are still obligated to play for a portion of the prize pool, so the 2nd- and 1st-place finishers will walk home with an additional €11,900 and €27,750, respectively.
The remaining four players have been sent on a 20 minute break.
Andrea Marchi moved all in for 5,300,000 from the small blind. Vasilis Nikolas, in the big blind, snap-called.
Andrea Marchi: Q♥9♣
Vasilis Nikolas: 8♥8♦
Marchi's mistimed jam ran into the pocket pair of Nikolas, and the 7♥10♣5♦2♥J♦ flop changed nothing, sending him home in 5th place.

Leandro Gaone moved all in for 3,750,000 from the hijack. Axel Bayout, in the big blind, made the call.
Leandro Gaone: A♦6♥
Axel Bayout: Q♠9♣
Gaone was ahead until the 9♥8♣K♠ flop saw Bayout take the lead. The French professional stayed in front on the 3♣ turn and 3♥ river, sending Gaone home in 6th.
Leandro Gaone moved all in from the button for 10,600,000. Luca Beretta, in the small blind, called off the bet for his last 7,350,000.
Luca Beretta: A♥Q♥
Leandro Gaone: A♠5♠
The K♦7♣10♦ flop was a safe one for Beretta; however, the unlikely 5♦ turn saw Gaone take the lead.
In a dramatic turn of fate, the Q♦ propelled Beretta back into the lead to stay alive.
Loris Greco raised to 1,125,000 with A♥3♣ from the hijack. Vasilis Nikolas, in the big blind, defended with J♠8♥.
The 8♠4♥2♣ saw Nikolas pull in front with top pair. Nikolas then checked and called a bet of 1,000,000 from Greco.
The 9♠ turn checked through to the 5♣ river. Nikolas value-bet his pair of eights, only to be met by the wheel straight of Greco. Greco raised to 3,300,000, and Nikolas called, sending his chips to his opponent.
