The remaining 28 players are now on a 15-minute break.
There are four eliminations until the money bubble bursts.
With around 200,000 in the middle on a completed board of 10♠4♦A♣3♠6♦, Cosmin Voinea moved all in for 280,000 from the cutoff as action went on Andrii Zaika in the small blind.
Zaika used a few of his time bank cards and looked at the clock to see how many players were left until the money bubble before he called. Voinea instantly stood up and went to muck his cards before he was forced to show K♣4♣ for a missed draw.
Zaika slammed down 10♥9♣ for a pair of tens to score the knockout.
Andrii Zaika bet 40,000 from the button on a board of 3♣J♥8♦8♣ before Abel Aspas raised to 180,000 under the gun.
Zaika called to the Q♦ river, where Aspas slid forward 425,000. Zaika snap-called and Aspas turned over Q♠Q♣ for the rivered full house.
Zaika let out a loud groan as he showed A♥8♥ for trips as the massive pot was slid toward Aspas.
Heads-up on a flop of Q♠10♥6♥ in a blind versus blind battle, Nicolae Balea bet 55,000 before Thomas Vetter raised to 180,000. Balea then moved all in and Vetter snap-called for around 250,000 more.
Thomas Vetter: A♦A♥
Nicolae Balea: 9♥3♥
Balea spiked the 8♥ on the turn to make a flush, leaving Vetter needing to hit another heart on the river to stay alive. He instead saw the K♠ fall and was sent to the rail.
With more than 100,000 already in the middle, Andrei Wauters bet 45,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 7♥2♦3♦ and Abel Aspas called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 9♥ turn as the 10♦ fell on the river. Aspas then grabbed a tower of orange 25,000 chips and slid it into the middle, putting Wauters all in.
Wauters, with around 320,000 remaining, snap-folded. "Pocket tens," he asked Aspas who took the pot to climb above 1,000,000.
Fiderico Costa moved all in for 100,000 in middle position, Radu Lungu called for 96,000 in the hijack, and Gheorghe Velcea also came along from the big blind having both opponents well covered.
Radu Lungu: Q♣Q♥
Fiderico Costa: 9♠9♦
Gheorghe Velcea: J♣J♥
Lungu was ahead with his queens and poised for a triple up as the board ran out 5♦6♠K♥4♠10♣. Neither opponent could find a set and Lungu earned the triple, while Costa busted to Velcea's jacks in the side pot.
