Shortly after Nikolay Fal was eliminated in 19th place, Dmitry Vitkind was next to hit the rail in 18th for $6,550.
Laurent Polito was then heads up with Artur Adelberg to the 10♥6♦K♣ flop, where all of Polito's chips found the middle of the table.
Laurent Polito: K♠10♣
Artur Adelberg: 10♠10♦
Polito's two pair were no good against Adelberg's set of tens, with the rest of the 9♥J♣ runout changing nothing. Polito was knocked out in 17th place, leaving the final two tables.
Karzan Hamarash moved his short stack into the middle from under the gun and was called by Antoine Hasbani in the small blind.
Karzan Hamarash: A♠5♠
Antoine Hasbani: J♠J♥
Hasbani improved to a set on the 9♥K♥5♦J♣4♦ runout, sending Hamarash to the rail in 20th position.
A short time earlier, Antoine Farhat was also eliminated from the tournament in 21st place.
Action was three-way with Edgar Yamin and Mahmod Hanif both all in against Karzan Hamarash.
Mahmod Hanif: 5♠5♦
Edgar Yamin: A♠A♥
Karzan Hamarash: K♠K♣
The board ran out 9♠5♣7♣7♥J♣, leaving Hanif with a full house to crack aces and kings. Yamin survived by taking the side pot, while Hamarash was left very short.
Artur Adelberg opened from under the gun and Julien Liarte defended his big blind to the 3♠2♥7♦ flop.
Liarte checked and made the call after Adelberg continued for 35,000. The 2♣ turn saw another check from Liarte, calling when Adelberg fired 90,000.
The dealer turned over the 3♣ river and both players checked it down. Liarte showed 4♠4♣, while Adelberg tabled 10♣10♥ for a better two pair to claim the pot.

Yassin Mahmoud opened to 70,000 in early position and action folded around to Nikolay Fal in the big blind. Fal used a time bank before making the call.
Fal then checked the 3♥2♣3♣ flop, folding quickly when Mahmoud slid out a continuation bet.
