Lauri Varonen moved all in from early position for his final 140,000. Eric Froehlich was on the button and made the call to put Varonen at risk. The blinds folded and the hands were revealed.
Varonen: 
Froehlich: 
The board ran out 
and Varonen hit the rail. Froehlich, on the other hand, is now at 1.55 million.

Friend of PokerStars Pierre Neuville open-shoved from middle position with his last 200,000. Mike Fosco called from the small blind and the big blind got out of the way.
Neuville: 
Fosco: 
The flop was 
which all but ended things. The turn and river were the 
and 
which officially eliminated Neuville while allowing Fosco to chip up to 550,000
Antonin Teisseire raised to 54,000 to open the pot, and Darryl Ronconi flatted on the button. Jim Routos decided to come along from the small blind, too, and it was three-handed to the flop.
It brought 
, and Routos took the lead with a bet of 125,000. Teisseire methodically stacked together a raise, and he slid out 325,000. It left him with 425,000 behind. That folded Ronconi pretty quickly, though he did pause to check how much Routos was playing first. Routos tanked and folded, too, and Teisseire showed his 
as the dealer pushed him the pot.
Routos got all wide-eyed and stared up at the ceiling. He seemed content with his fold as he nodded to his rail, but also a bit surprised to see what he was seeing. "Wow," he said quietly.
"WOW!" Teisseire bellowed in return, climbing up over a million chips to 1.085 with that nice pot.
In the past couple of orbits, Andrew Savitz has cold shipped his stack of between 15 to 20 big blinds.
In this past hand, he cold shipped 447,000 from the button and Arnaud Esquevin began to tank in the big blind. After about five minutes he announced a call and tabled 
. Savitz showed and had his opponent in trouble. Savitz burried his head in his arms at the table, as he has done for every all in today, and refused to look as the board was dealt out.
The dealer placed the 
out on the table and just like that, Savitz has 920,000. Unfortunately for Esquevin, he is left with just 180,000.
In a battle of the blinds, Vanessa Peng raised to 57,000 first into the pot, and Adam Geyer three-bet shoved from the big blind. Peng almost couldn't believe what she heard, double-checking with the dealer before snap-calling with . Geyer tabled with a bit of a frustrated wince.
The board was clean for Peng, coming 
, and the jacks hold to double her back to average. She had 478,000 to start the hand, so she's got 980,000 now and a new lease on her tournament life. Geyer is still above average, but that one hurt enough to knock him back to 1.35 million.
We've reached a quick color up, and the clock has been paused while we get rid of the yellow T1,000 chips. B'right back.
While you wait, some chips.
