Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Mustafa Biz's table left the feature after the break. However, the action didn't stop because of that, as Bart Lybaert had been eliminated since.

A few hands later, it was Danut Chisu's turn to leave the tournament, after he gave his last 220,000 chips to Karim Rebei.

Danut Chisu: A♥9♥
Karim Rebei: A♦K♣

On K♦5♦J♣8♠9♦, Chisu hit a nine on the river. But it was too late, because Rebei had top pair on the flop and a flush on the river.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a blind versus blind situation, Ara Melkisetian limped from the small blind, and Thomas Eychenne checked his option in the big blind.

Melkisetian checked again. Eychenne seized this opportunity to bet 50,000; a move that made Melkisetian fold.
