Cards went on their backs on Table 7, with Drice Hamza at risk in the hijack for 254,000 against Manuel Machado in middle position.
Drice Hamza: A♠Q♠
Manuel Machado: A♣Q♣
Hamza stood up, then he sat down when he hit a royal flush draw on the K♠2♦10♠ flop. The 8♠ completed his flush, so he doubled up after the river J♥.
After Aitor Cruz opened to 20,000 from middle position, Michel Peretti shoved for 65,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Cruz called.
Michel Peretti: J♦9♣
Aitor Cruz: A♦9♠
Peretti needed a jack to stay in the tournament, but the board of 8♥3♥7♠K♦Q♠ didn't help him.
Endravuz Lahdo raised to 24,000 from the cutoff, and he was called by Rayane Bouibeb in the big blind. But Lahdo thought Bouibeb was all-in so he flipped over his cards. As Bouibeb still had chips, Lahdo had to play the rest of the hand with his cards facing up.
The dealer fanned a flop of 5♦9♦2♦. Bouibeb moved all-in for his last 35,000 chips, and Lahdo called.
Rayane Bouibeb: 10♦3♦
Endravuz Lahdo: A♦Q♥
Bouibeb flopped a flush, but Lahdo still had the nut flush draw. And after the turn K♠, the J♦ landed on the river to complete Lado's flush and send Bouibeb to the rail.

PokerNews arrived at the table when Igor Picone four-bet to 100,000 from the hijack against Hossein Ensan, who called on the button.
A 6♥10♦10♠ flop appeared, and Picone bet of 38,000. However, Ensan responded with a raise to 130,000, half of his stack.
Picone took his time and eventually went all-in with the largest stack at the table. Facing with a tough decision, Ensan went in the tank but chose to fold.
