In a three-bet pot to the three-way flop of 
, Sonny Franco check-raised all in over the top of a check by Fernando Pons and a bet of 24,000 by BAUTIST. Pons quickly called while BAUTIST folded and the Frenchman showed 
for the over pair and flush draw.
Little did Franco know that he was in need of perfect running cards, as Pons had flopped the flush with 
. A blank on the turn already sealed the fate for Franco and he quickly exited the tournament area.

Stanislav Zegal was already all in while Ludovic Riehl and Andrei Luncan were still action. On the 
flop, Luncan bet 6,600 from early position and Riehl called before the duo checked the 
turn. Luncan's bet of 16,000 on the 
river forced a fold from Riehl.
Luncan turned over 
and Zegal only had 
to join the rail. In the two seat that that very table is Helene Gros with a stack just shy of the average.
