Ivan Fedor shoved the cutoff for 700,000 and Jose Gomez Casillas three-bet the small blind to 1,650,000. Marcin Kacprzak was in the big blind and protested as to why Casillas was showing aggression on the final table bubble, and then folded his hand.
Ivan Fedor: A♦K♥ 
Jose Gomez Casillas: K♣2♣
Fedor had a dominating hand, and took full advantage of it as the 4♦5♣4♥3♠5♦ runout kept his ace-high in the lead.
Lulei Hu raised to 1,900,000 on the button before Manig Loeser moved all in from the big blind. Hu called off his last 125,000.
Lulei Hu: K♠J♦
Manig Loeser: A♦8♣
Hu wasn't behind for long as the Q♥10♦9♠ flop gave him a straight. The J♣ turn gave Loeser outs to a higher straight, but he missed the J♥ river and Hu doubled up.
Loeser moved all in the next two hands and took town the blinds and ante.
Felix Kretschmann opened the cutoff to 600,000 with K♣Q♠ and Claudio Daffina just called in the big blind holding 4♠4♥.
Both saw the 9♠2♣6♦ flop hit the table, where Daffina check-called a bet of 350,000 from Kretschmann to see the A♠ land on the turn. Daffina checked again and Kretschmann bet 1,000,000. Daffina let it go.
Jose Gomez Casillas raised to 3,600,000 on the button before Marcin Kacprzak moved all in for 3,900,000 in the small blind. Juan Velasco in the big blind asked for a count and began spinning around in his chair, taking around 30 seconds before folding. "I have to call," Casillas told Kacprzak.
Marcin Kacprzak: A♣J♠
Jose Gomez Casillas: Q♠9♥
"Big flip," Casillas said, repeating his favorite saying. He picked up a straight draw going to the river on a board of K♥2♠3♥10♦, but Kacprzak's ace-high stayed in the lead as the 8♦ completed the board to earn him another double up.
Velasco then said he folded two sevens. "Sevens is a good fold. I have only better," Kacprzak reassured him.
Marcin Kacprzak made it 1,000,000 to go from under the gun and Juan Velasco just called from the cutoff.
With 500,000 back, Kacprzak shoved it all on the 6♣3♠9♠ flop, and Velasco made the call.
Marcin Kacprzak: K♦4♦
Juan Velasco: A♣10♠
Kacprzak was in trouble, but the 4♣ turn gave him a pair and looked to have bailed him out. No help arrived for Velasco on the 8♦ river, and Kacprzak doubled up.
Level: 35
Blinds: 150,000/300,000

A hand after doubling up Rifat Palevic, Jose Gomez Casillas was back at it and moved all in from the small blind. Miroslav Matula called for 800,000 in the big blind.
Miroslav Matula: 10♠6♠
Jose Gomez Casillas: A♥2♦
The 8♦K♣5♠ flop didn't help Matula, while the A♣ turn gave Casillas top pair and left Matula drawing dead. The river was the 9♦ and Matula headed off in 11th place.
