Georges Chehade opened to 300,000 from the cutoff, Julien Rouquet three-bet shoved for around 2,700,000 from the small blind, Dawid Smolka shoved for the top for 3,400,000 from the big blind and Chehade got out of the way leaving Rouquet at risk against Smolka.

Dawid Smolka: A♦Q♥
Rouquet was in great shape to scoop a massive pot with a dominiating ace but Smolka spiked a queen on the Q♠10♥3♦ flop and remained ahead when the rest of the board ran out 6♥7♥ to send Rouquet to the rail in brutal fashion and drag in a colossal pot.

Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Pouya Ranjehdel shoved from the hijack for 650,000 and was called by Georges Chehade who had him covered from the hijack.
Pouya Ranjehdel: A♦K♦
Georges Chehade: 5♠5♥
Chehade made a set on the 5♣J♥3♠ flop meaning Ranjehdel would need to make a running straight to extend his tournament life. He picked up a gutshot on the 4♦ turn but the K♣ river was a brick and Ranjehdel was sent to the rail on the final table bubble.
