Henry Dupont and Omer Erkus traded raises as the rest of the table got out of the way. Dupont raised almost all of his stack, leaving just a single 100,000 chip behind.

Erkus then asked for the rest, announcing all in and the call was made.

Henry Dupont: A♥K♣ All in
Omer Erkus: A♠A♣

Dupont got up and wished the rest of the table good luck, as the Q♥5♣8♠9♠2♠ runout provided no help. Erkus added another pile of chips to his stack, while sending Dupont to the rail.

Maroun Jazzar moved all in for 500,000 from early position and Dashinka put him at risk under the gun.

Maroun Jazzar: A♦A♣ All in
Dashinka: 8♠8♦

Jazzar was far ahead with his aces as the K♥5♣10♥4♣ board left him a card away from a double up, but the 8♥ fell on the river to give Dashinka a set and send Jazzar to the rail.

"Not my day," Jazzar said, relating that he earlier had flopped a set of sevens against Amir Saeid's pocket queens, only for Saeid to turn another queen to win the pot.

Tambovtsev showed Q♦Q♣, but Samavati had 9♥9♠ for a flopped set as the river came the 10♣ to seal Tambovtsev's elimination.

Guy Gorelik was all in for 490,000 on the button and up against Bodo Sbrzesny in the small blind.

Guy Gorelik: 2♥2♦ All in
Bodo Sbrzesny: A♣K♦

"Let's flip," Gorelik said as the flop came J♠6♦3♠. The J♣ turn gave Sbrzesny additional outs to counterfeit Gorelik's pair, but Gorelik held on through the 4♥ river to earn a double up and leave Sbrzesny nursing a short stack.

Fredrico Senno and Antonino Venneri built a pot of around 600,000 as they went to the river on a board of J♣4♥10♦6♦10♣. Venneri then moved all in from the cutoff.

"I put him on king-queen," Senno said as he doubled up.

"Wow," Venneri could only manage to say.
