Julien Sitbon shoved the button and Martin Kabrhel called for his stack of 35,900.
Martin Kabrhel: A♣5♥
Julien Sitbon: 10♠9♠
Kabrhel was in the lead with ace-high, but that changed on the 6♠7♥9♦ flop as Sitbon hit top pair.
Kabrhel's elimination was confirmed after the 9♥ turn gave Sitbon trips, as the 4♦ on the river was just a necessity.
Florian Pesce has defeated Patrick Leonard in their heads-up match to progress to the Round of 16.

Ivan Deyra completed from the button and Thomas Muehloecker jammed out of the big blind. Deyra took a while and then called for his stack of around 50,000.
Ivan Deyra: 9♠8♠
Thomas Muehloecker: 3♣3♦
Deyra found himself in a race with the suited connector versus Muehloecker's pocket threes.
Deyra was unable to improve on the K♥J♦K♣A♠5♠ board, and Muehloecker advanced the final round of the day.
Thomas Muehloecker opened to 8,000 and got called by Ivan Deyra leading both players to the flop.
Both players checked the 10♣J♥5♥ flop. The turn dropped 8♠. Deyra resumed action with a 12,500 bet which Muehloecker called.
On the river 8♣, Deyra looked down at his short stack then decided to shove all-in for 37,300. Muehloecker thought about what to do then threw his hand to the muck pile.
Deyra scooped the pot with a big smile.
Shogo Otani moved all in on the button for 47,100, and was put at risk when Martin Zamani called.
Shogo Otani: A♦8♦
Martin Zamani: 8♥8♣
Zamani improved to a set on the 8♠10♦J♣ flop, but hope was renewed for Otani when the K♠ joined the board.
Alas, the 6♥ river was of no help, and Zamani advanced.
With A♣K♣ in this hand, Doug Polk raised to 5,000 on the button. Nikolai Mamut responded with a three-bet to 20,000 holding A♥J♣. Polk responded with a four-bet jam, covering the stack of Mamut, who wasted little time in folding his dominated ace-high.
Ryuta Nakai has defeated Yaman Nakdali and made it through to the final round
