Heads-up on a board of K♦8♥Q♥4♦, Julien Sitbon in the cutoff bet 105,000 and Alberto Follador in the big blind eventually made the call.
The 2♣ river landed on the felt and Follador checked. Sitbon quickly checked back but lost to Follador's Q♦9♥.

Andrea Fontana in the hijack saw his 85,000-chip stack being called by Mauro Fungo on the button.

Mauro Fungo: Q♣Q♦
The dealer fanned a board of 2♦6♣A♥5♥J♥ and Fontana was eliminated.
There are now 48 players remaining across the tournament’s final six tables. From this point on, table breaks will be randomly assigned.
The feature table has also changed, with Henri Kasper and Nikolai Mamut now under the spotlight.
Mehdi Rebai raised to 60,000 from middle position, then Savvas Mitsikouridis in the small blind three-bet to 120,000. Rebai went deep into the tank, using a few time bank extensions before moving all-in for roughly 650,000. Mitsikouridis snap-called.
Mehdi Rebai: A♠K♠
Savvas Mitsikouridis: A♦K♥
Both players had the same hand so they split the pot on 3♣2♠7♦9♦5♥. "Even in Cannes, acting doesn't work", Rebai joked after the hand.
Level: 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 20,000
Daniel Chevalier on the button jammed for 125,000 and he was called by Richard Geyer in the small blind.
Daniel Chevalier: A♣5♥
Richard Geyer: A♥3♥
The dealer fanned a board of 10♥6♠A♠10♠3♠, so they split the pot.
On the feature table, Paul Tedeschi raised to 30,000 from early position but Giovanni Renna to his left three-bet to 80,000. All the other players folded to Tedeschi who moved all-in for 445,000. Renna snap-called with his last 265,000.
Giovanni Renna: A♣Q♣
Paul Tedeschi: A♥K♦
Renna found a flush draw on a flop of 6♥2♣9♣. The 7♥ turn kept Tedeschi in the lead, but the 5♣ river completed Renna's flush and he secured a double up.
Richard Geyer in the cutoff opened to 30,000 but Anthony Lesoismier on the button three-bet to 75,000. The blinds folded and Geyer made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 6♠Q♥6♥ and Lesoismier continued for 55,000. Geyer check-raised for more than Lesoismier's stack, and the Frenchman eventually called off his last 215,000.
Anthony Lesoismier: K♣Q♦
Richard Geyer: A♣A♦
Lesoismier called with two pair but Geyer had a better two pair with aces. The 4♦6♦ runout changed nothing and Lesoismier was eliminated, like Matthew Nelson a few minutes before him.
