David Darrimajou: A♣J♦
Petre Ionescu: 4♠4♣
Darrimajou flopped top pair on K♦A♠9♠7♣6♣ and doubled up.

Anthony Palomba in the cutoff found himself at risk for approximately 5,500,000 against Matthieu Lamagnere in the small blind.
Anthony Palomba: Q♥Q♠
Matthieu Lamagnere: 9♦9♠
Palomba's queens kept the lead all the way through a board of 6♠7♣7♥4♠2♠ and he doubled up.
David Darrimajou limped in from the cutoff, Thomas Ristorcelli called on the button, Kasra Rashidi completed in the small blind and Luigi Macaluso checked his option in the big blind.
Rashidi took the lead for 700,000 on the 7♣K♥4♥ flop. Luigi Macaluso moved all in for 4,450,000 and David Darrimajou went deep into the tank. Darrimajou eventually moved all in himself and both Ristorcelli and Rashidi tossed their cards into the muck.
Luigi Macaluso: 7♥4♥
David Darrimajou: K♦Q♣
The A♣ turn and 10♠ river changed nothing; Macaluso's two pair held to find a huge double.
Souleiman Ben Sta moved all in for approximately 5,000,000 from the hijack. Nadine Rohde, the covering stack, moved all in from the cutoff and the hand went to a showdown.
Souleiman Ben Sta: A♠K♠
Nadine Rohde: J♦J♠
The board ran out 7♥2♥4♣J♥5♣; Rohde turned Ben Sta dead, and he was sent to the rail.
Luigi Macaluso opened to 700,000 from the cutoff, then Petre Ionescu in the small blind three-bet all-in for 2,775,000. David Darrimajou in the big blind asked for the count and went into the tank. He eventually folded.
"I want to call," Macaluso said a few times. "We're going to make a gift to Jesus," he added, before making the call.
Luigi Macaluso: K♠Q♠
Petre Ionescu: A♠9♣
Macaluso wanted to see a king or a queen, but he couldn't find any on 8♦5♥5♣9♠6♣ so Ionescu doubled up.
Anthony Palomba moved all in for approximately 325,000 from the small blind and Nolan Madene made the call from the big blind.
Anthony Palomba: A♥Q♠
Nolan Madene: A♠4♥
Palomba had Madene dominated and the 6♣2♣5♠9♥8♥ runout confirmed his double up.
Luca Delerm in the cutoff raised to 3,300,000, then saw Romain Lewis on the button three-bet all-in for 10,000,000. Delerm looked around him to see if there was another all-in and call situation, and eventually called with the single blind he had left.
Luca Delerm: A♣7♣
Romain Lewis: 8♠8♥
The dealer fanned a board of 7♥3♠5♦Q♠3♥ which was no help for Delerm, who was eliminated in 18th place for 55,000 MAD.
