Nino Pansier was on the verge of elimination when his Q♣8♣7♦6♠ were up against the A♥J♠9♥5♠ of Harald Casagrande. The J♣7♥4♥ flop gave Pansier a gutshot to go with his dominated pair but the K♠ turn and K♦ river failed to improve the Dutch player on the outer tables.

A pot of around 150,000 had developed by the river, on a board of A♠A♥9♠8♥6♠, in a hand between Martin Kabrhel and Tomasz Kozub, both in middle position.
Kabrhel slid out a bet of 55,000, and called a raise to 155,000 from Kozub.
Kabrhel was shown the bad news when Kozub tabled A♣A♦Q♥2♠ for flopped quad aces.

Nino Pansier had been among the big stacks before the first break but things then took a wrong turn when Ioannis Angelou Konstas flopped fours full of sixes for a very healthy double.
Pansier recovered very few chips a couple of minutes when he took on Jose Scarano preflop.
Jose Scarano: K♠7♠6♠5♠ 
Nino Pansier: A♥A♠Q♥10♠
The A♣8♠5♣K♦Q♣ board was a sweat for the short stack but top set held for Pansier.

Thomas Eychenne opened to 28,000 under the gun, and was faced with a three-bet to 55,000 from Tomasz Kozub in middle position.
Action folded back to Eyechenne, who moved his 64,000 total stack into the middle. Kozub quickly called.
Thomas Eychenne: A♠K♣7♥6♥
Tomasz Kozub: A♣3♣K♦5♦
The hands were very similar, but Eychenne rivered a flush on the Q♥10♥3♠9♠9♥ runout to send him a timely double-up.

Javier Francort limped the button, and called a raise to 21,000 from Shaun Deeb in the big blind.
On the A♣9♦3♣ flop, Deeb led out with a bet of 17,000, and Francort called.
The 4♦ hit on the turn, and Deeb continued with a bet of 80,000. Francourt raised to 269,000, and Deeb called off for his remaining stack of 189,000.
Shaun Deeb: A♦Q♦J♣9♥
Javier Francort: 7♥5♦3♥3♦
Deeb had top two pair, but was behind Francort's set of threes, and the WSOP Player of the Year could not fill up on the K♣ river.

Kumaran Sarvendran was all-in preflop for just shy of the starting stack and looked up by Harald Casagrande.
Kumaran Sarvendran: K♣Q♦J♥10♣
Harald Casagrande: A♥K♠J♦10♥
"How do you do that Harry, this is the perfect matchup," Dario Alioto exclaimed.
The board ran out 10♦7♠5♠3♥2♣ and the kicker played for Casagrande.
"How is that possible, drawing dead preflop," Alioto added.
