Arossi's pair of eights won the pot and sent Schlumpf to the rail in 10th place.

Flynn Meichtry: A♠J♣

Heads-up to the turn with around 400,000 in the pot on a board of 3♠Q♦4♠10♥.
Mihai Andrei-Munteanu was first to act from the small blind and fired out for 225,000. Flynn Meichtry, who sat in the big blind, raised to 625,000. Andrei-Munteanu continued via a call.
The A♣ completed the board, prompting Andrei-Munteanu to check. Meichtry announced all-in, prompting Andrei-Munteanu to go into the tank.
The shove was an overbet for Andrei-Munteanu's remaining 2,200,000. Andrei-Munteanu quickly tosseed in all his time banks before saying to Meichtry, "big bluff, huh".
Meichtry didn't respond, and after another minute of tanking, Andrei-Munteanu slammed in the call.
Meichtry revealed 5♠2♠ for a flopped open-ended straight flush draw, that improved to a wheel on the river. Andrei-Munteanu revealed 10♦4♦ for two pair as all of his stack was sent over to Meichtry and he headed to the rail in 11th place.

Marcel Maubach raised to 600,000 from the hijack with just 170,000 behind. Flynn Meichtry called on the button and the flop came down 6♥7♠7♣.
Maubach pondered for around four minutes, using up all of his time banks before jamming the last of his chips into the middle. Meichtry snap-called.
Marcel Maubach: A♥2♥
Flynn Meichtry: K♦Q♣
Maubach was ahead with ace-high and Meichtry needed to hit something on the turn or the river to win the pot.
Meichtry found instant service on the K♠ turn by improving to top pair. The K♣ completed the board to give Meichtry a boat, and Maubach was out in 12th place
