Nolan Madene open-shoved all in from the cutoff for 4,600,000 and was looked up by Victor Rials, who isolated with a shove from the button. Madene was the player at risk as the cards were turned.

Nolan Madene: A♥6♠ All in
Victor Rials: A♣Q♣

Madene was dominated, but the 8♠2♥6♣ flop gave him a pair of sixes and suddenly it was Rials who needed to catch up. The turn came the 2♠ and Madene held on the 10♠ river to win the pot, doubling up his stack and leaving Rials short.

Following an open-raise to 700,000 from under the gun, Kevin Belhamici three-bet to 2,100,000 from the button, then Maxime Bossard four-bet to 5,850,000 from the big blind. The original raiser folded and Belhamici called for a touch under 5,000,000. He was at risk as players flipped their cards.

Kevin Belhamici: Q♣Q♥ All in
Maxime Bossard: A♦A♣

It was a cooler for Belhamici, who ran into his opponent's aces and was left drawing extemely thin as the flop fanned out A♠8♦6♣ to give Bossard a set of aces. The turn was the 2♣ and river the 5♥. Bossard held, while Belhamici was eliminated from the tournament in 17th place for 101,000 MAD.

Maxime Bossard opened from the button and faced Jean-Côme Haye who defended from the big blind.

Bossard bet 625,000 on the 5♥8♥Q♠ flop. Haye check-called, then led out for a single blind. Bossard called but faced a tough decision when Haye bet 5,300,000 on the 8♠ river.

Bossard talked to Haye to find any information, but he didn't get any answer. He eventually folded the Q♥. Haye, shaking, only revealed the 7♠ and scooped the pot.

Victor Rials: 9♠9♣

The flop ran out 6♣J♥5♦ and the 7♠ turn gave Veyssiere a flush draw to go with his overcards. The 2♣ river, though, was a blank and Rials held to double up with his pocket nines.
