Will Failla shipped all in for 26.0 million from under the gun and Markus Prinz called from the cutoff. Failla tabled {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} but was disheartened to find out he was dominated by the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} of Prinz.

The board ran out [7sh7h3d5sas] and Prinz's queen-kicker played, sending Failla to the rail in 17th place. The final 16 players will no redraw for seats on the final two tables.

The flop came down {6-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Spades} and Nolet would need to dodge Gilbert's over cards to get the pot. The {6-Hearts} on the turn and {9-Spades} on the river did not change anything and Gilbert was eliminated.
