Emmanouil Chalkiotis raised to 500,000 from early position, Xerxes I called in the cutoff, an effective all-in with just 25,000 behind the line. Loris Greco, in the big blind, moved all in to isolate, forcing a fold from Chalkiotis. Xerxes I called off for his tournament life.
Xerxes I: K♦Q♦ 
Loris Greco: A♣5♥
Greco was ahead, but the 2♣9♠K♣ flop reversed their fates. The 10♥ turn and 7♥ river saw Xerxes I stay alive.
Leandro Gaone raised to 500,000 from middle position. Xerxes I, in the big blind, defended.
The 3♠Q♦6♦ flop saw Xerxes I play in flow. Gaone continued for 375,000 and Xerxes I check-raised to 1,900,000. Gaone called.
The 4♣ turn saw Xerxes I move all in, asking for the last 2,000,000 Gaone had behind the line. Gaone snap-callled.
Leandro Gaone: 6♥6♣
Xerxes I: A♦3♦
The 5♠ failed to improve Xerxes I; Gaone's set held to double him up, leaving Xerxes I with crumbs.

Martin Rapp: 6♥6♦
Vasilis Nikolas: A♦K♦
This flip fell in favour of Nikolas on the 3♥A♥7♥ flop. Rapp couldn't materialize one of his outs on the 4♣ turn and 2♣ river, ensuring his exit in 10th place.
The final nine players are now on the final table.
Axel Bayout raised to 500,000 from the cutoff, receiving calls from the button and the big blind.
The action checked to Bayout, who continued for 400,000 on the K♥A♠3♦ flop. Only HaiCaDa, on the button, called.
The 8♠ turn saw a repeat of the action; this time Bayout sized up to 1,650,000.
The 2♥ river prompted Bayout to move all-in, asking for HaiCaDa's effective stack of approximately 3,300,000. HaiCaDa tanked for some time before making a reluctant call.
HaiCaDa: A♦J♣
Axel Bayout: K♦K♣
Bayout's set of kings bested the top pair of HaiCaDa, and he was sent to the rail.
