Aiguo Xu was all-in for around 120,000 and at risk against Mateusz Jablonski.
Aiguo Xu: K♠10♥
Mateusz Jablonski: K♥Q♦
Xu was dominated and Jablonski's kicker played as both players made trip kings across the K♦8♣6♥J♦K♣ runout.
Chatterbox Fehmi Cherif, who had been a polarizing presence at the tables, some players seeming to enjoy his banter, others not so much, was also seen exiting the tournament area.
Davis Harari was all-in for 900,000 and at risk against Aiguo Xu.
Davis Harari: Q♦Q♥
Aiguo Xu: Q♣J♠
"Ach", said Xu in frustration when he saw Harari's holding, and he could not find an unlikely escape on the A♠4♠4♣5♣7♦ runout.
Luis Heredia was raking in a double-up, after his A♦A♣ held against Marciano Rodriguez's 4♦4♣ over the 10♠10♦7♥Q♣7♣ runout.
Gianluca Speranza was all-in for 900,000 and at risk against Fernando Nieto.
Gianluca Speranza: 10♦10♣
Fernando Nieto: A♠Q♥
Speranza's tens were ahead in a race, and Nieto bricked the 4♣3♥2♥J♠7♣ runout.
Action folded to Fernando Nieto in the small blind, who jammed on Mykyta Andrusiak with the covering stack, and Andrusiak snap-called for his stack of 1,000,000.
Mykyta Andrusiak: 7♣7♠
Fernando Nieto: A♠Q♣
Andrusiak was ahead in a race, but the ace was in the window on the A♦J♣5♠ flop, and he could not find a two-outer from there, the 3♥5♦ turn and river completing the runout.
Istvan Varga and Mo Xu were also seen vacating the tournament area having busted.
Mo Xu opened to 100,000 and called off, somewhat reluctantly, against a three-bet jam from Mariona Riba of 315,000.
Mariona Riba: Q♣Q♥
Mo Xu: 10♥10♣
Riba had the goods, and there were no surprises on the A♠J♠9♥5♣A♥ runout.
Eugenio Peralta had opened large from the button, leaving himself not much behind, and had to call off versus a jam from Morten Lie in the small blind, although it was clear from the look on his face he didn't like the spot.
Eugenio Peralta: 3♠3♥
Morten Lie: 10♥10♠
Peralta was crushed and he couldn't find a two-outer on the A♣K♣9♦Q♣2♠ runout. "Close", smiled Peralta as the river hit, as he gave Lie a fist bump before departing the table.
Jorgen Andersen opened to 80,000, and was met with a three-bet to 120,000 by Constantin Erhan. Andersen responded with a four-bet to 315,000, and after a slight period of deliberation, Erhan sighed and folded.
