Picking up the action on a board of J♠3♣A♣9♥ with roughly 90,000 in the pot, Lylian Baunez bet on the button, but Benjamin Bartok in the small blind raised to 150,000. Baunez was clearly unhappy when he saw this move, but he called for his last 130,000.
Lylian Baunez: A♥J♣ 
Benjamin Bartok: A♦9♦
Both players had two pair, but Baunez had the best hand and he doubled up after the 10♥ river.
Ricardo Moral limped from the cutoff, then went into the tank after Joao Laranjeira in the small blind moved all-in for 210,000.
Moral seemed to hesitate, but he eventually made the call, being the player at risk for 140,000
Ricardo Moral: K♠K♣
Joao Laranjeira: A♥Q♥
Moral was not 100% happy to call with kings, and he was feeling was the right one because on 4♠6♦A♦9♦9♣, Laranjeira hit top pair to send him to the rail. Three more eliminations are ow needed to reach the money.
Remi Saunier raised to 20,000 from the small blind and Michal Zimani called, from the big blind.
The 7♠A♠10♦ flop saw Saunier continue for 16,000. Zimani called.
The 9♠ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Saunier sized up to 20,000.
The 3♠ prompted one last barrel of 30,000 from Saunier. Zimani chose to fold.

Fred Chau raised to 15,000 from the hijack, Eric Ravier three-bet to 45,000 from the cutoff and Chau called.
The 5♠9♣6♥ flop saw Chau check-call a bet of 30,000 from Ravier.
The 9♦ prompted a second check from Chau. Ravier moved all in for 68,000 and Chau went deep into the tank, eventually making the call.
Eric Ravier: A♠J♣
Fred Chau: 7♣6♣
The 7♦ river improved Chau, despite not needing it, and Ravier was sent to the rail
Elkhaiam Dora jammed for 44,000 from the hijack, then Florian Bulliard in the cutoff three-bet to 100,000. However he was not expecting that Jozef Bartalos in the big blind would four-bet all-in for 320,000. "Everybody but you", Bulliard said while struggling to make a decision. He eventually folded and said that he had queens.
Elkhaiam Dora: 8♦8♣
Jozef Bartalos: A♣A♦
Bartalos flopped top set on J♣A♠6♣Q♠2♠ to eliminate Dora, while Buillard was more than relieved.
Michal Zimani raised to 15,000 from the button and Damien Mecheri, in the big blind, made the call.
The 6♠10♣10♠ flop saw Mecheri play in flow. Zimani continued for 15,000 and Mecheri check-raised, making it 40,000 to go. Zimani called.
Both players thought for several minutes between them as the 10♥ turn and 8♣ river checked to a showdown. Mecheri showed 7♦5♠, losing the pot to Zimani's A♦6♥, having paired his six on the flop.
