When it folded to Mehdi Chaoui in the small blind, he jammed for 280,000 and was instantly called by Markkos Ladev in the big blind.
Mehdi Chaoui: Q♦6♠
Markkos Ladev: J♥J♣
Chaoui had shoved right into the pocket jacks of Ladev and found no improvement on the 3♠5♥8♦4♣3♦ runout.
Chaoui headed to the exit, and the tournament was down to the final two tables.

Christopher Puetz moved all in for 920,000 under the gun and Pieter Aerts called in the big blind.
Christopher Puetz: Q♠J♣
Pieter Aerts: Q♦Q♣
Aerts had woken up with two queens, and the A♦7♦6♦J♠2♠ board offered no help to Puetz as he was sent to the rail.
At another table, Emilien Pitavy shoved from the button and Johan Guilbert called for his last 1,000,000 in the big blind.
Johan Guilbert: A♥8♠
Emilien Pitavy: A♠10♣
The J♣4♣5♣ flop gave Pitavy a flush draw, and he hit his flush on the 9♣ turn to leave Guilbert drawing dead. The river was the 6♥ and the start-of-day chip leader was eliminated.

Jessica Teusl raised to 200,000 under the gun and Jean-Robert Bellande called on the button, while Markkos Ladev also came along from the big blind.
All three players checked the 8♣K♦10♣ flop. Action checked to Bellande on the 8♥ turn, and he bet 250,000. Ladev then raised to 725,000, Teusl folded, while Bellande called.
Ladev bet another 850,000 on the 10♦ river, and Bellande slid forward a tower of his pink 100,000 chips to put Ladev all in for his last 1,200,000. Ladev snap-folded.

From the cutoff, Pieter Aerts jammed for 850,000 and Justus Held made the call out of the big blind.
Pieter Aerts: Q♦J♦
Justus Held: 3♠3♦
Aerts' pair of treys stayed in the lead on the A♦A♣2♣ flop, although the 5♦ turn gave Aerts a lot of outs.
Just before the river card was dealt, Christopher Puetz told Aerts to stand up indicitating that this would help his chances of hitting the river.
Aerts listened, and it worked, as he spiked a J♣ on the river to survive.

Jessica Teusl raised to 200,000 out of the hijack before Justin Steinbrenner jammed for 685,000 from the button. Teusl flicked in the call when it folded back to her.
Justin Steinbrenner: A♥9♣
Jessica Teusl: 5♣5♥.
Steinbrenner was unable to win the 50/50 as the board ran out J♥8♠8♣10♥8♦, giving Teusl a full house, and all of Steinbrenner's stack was awarded to Teusl.

Ante: 100,000
Markkos Ladev raised to 160,000 under the gun and Artur Martirosian called in the small blind.

Markkos Ladev: Q♦Q♠
Artur Martirosian: 9♥5♥

At another table, Gha Iakobishvili bet 225,000 from the small blind on a board of 6♣5♣7♦2♠ and Jean-Robert Bellande called under the gun.
Iakobishvili led out for another 500,000 on the 4♥ river, but this time Bellande raised to 1,000,000. Iakobishvili called, and Bellande showed J♥8♠ for a straight to win the pot.
"If you find a raise there, I have to call. That's what I told myself," Bellande said.
