Three-way to the J♦10♣3♣ flop, big blind Alain Benabou led out for 3,600. On the button, Martin Jacobson was the only caller.
Benabou then piled in 20,000 on the 4♦ turn. Jacobson pushed all in for not much more, and Benabou quickly called.
Martin Jacobson: Q♥Q♦ 
Alain Benabou: J♣10♠
Benabou had outflopped the queens of Jacobson, and he filled up on the J♠ river to set Jacobson's elimination in stone.
Lars Bonding opened to 2,000 from under the gun before John Major made it 6,500 from the big blind.
Bonding made the call to bring the 6♦10♥A♥ flop. Major opted to continue for 4,600 on the flop. Bonding gave it some thought, but decided to fold to award the small pot to Major.
Amit Sharma raised to 1,100 from early position, and Ruoxiao Shi three-bet the cutoff to 3,500. Sharma called to see the dealer spread the 6♦9♣Q♦ flop.
Both checked, and the 3♣ arrived on the turn. Sharma led out for 2,500, which Shi called.
Sharma knuckled it to Shi when the 5♥ fell on the river, and after a few moments, Shi fired for 8,000. Sharma tank-called.
Shi revealed a pair of tens with 10♠10♦, and Sharma slid his cards face down back to the dealer.
Ronald West opened to 1,000 from early position and his neighbor Yannick Capocetti was the only caller.
The 8♥10♠2♠ flop saw West check and Capocetti bet 1,300. West called and the 7♣ was turned. West made another quick check and Capocetti asked for 4,500. West took a few seconds to decide his option but made the call.
A 6♦ fell on the river and both snap-checked to showdown. West turned over his A♥9♥ for the straight which he made on the river and Capocetti flipped over his pocket jacks holding J♥J♠.
Cards went on their backs with Marcelo Valle under the gun all-in and at risk against Naoya Katagiri on the button and David Abramowicz in the small blind.
Marcelo Valle: Q♣J♣
Naoya Katagiri: A♥K♠
David Abramowicz: 9♣9♦
Abramowicz flopped a set then hit a full house on 6♣A♦9♠7♣6♦ to scoop the main pot while Valle was eliminated.
Simon Wilson raised on the button, and Gonzalo Velozo defended his big blind.
Velozo check-called a bet of around 2,200 from Wilson on the 6♥8♣9♠ flop.
The 3♣ came on the turn, and Velozo check-called a second barrel from Wilson, this time for 8,900.
Velozo checked for a final time on the 2♦ river, and Wilson jammed, covering him. With his remaining 27,000 and tournament life on the line, Velozo was deep in the tank before eventually making the call.
Wilson immediately said, "Good call," as he tabled J♦7♠ for a busted straight draw. Velozo turned over K♠9♣ for a pair of nines, earning himself a double-up to more than the starting stack.
There were approximately 10,000 in the middle on the board of 5♣A♥10♥J♠ when Brett Kennedy chose to bet 5,600 on the button after it was checked to him.
Andro Scarpa responded with a check-raise to 13,000 from the big blind position.
Kennedy countered with a three-bet to 25,000 even. Scarpa did not think long before he made the fold to award the pot to Kennedy, as he won the bidding war on the turn.
Facing a bet of 3,300 by James Burns in the big blind on a board of 2♠10♣J♣6♣10♥, Melanie Weisner in middle position with only 7,000 behind went deep into the tank.
She eventually decided to call, only to run into Burns' trips with 10♦7♥. She was left with 3,700 after this hand.
Anthony Kim opened to 1,300 from early position and William Godbout called from the hijack. Christopher Guertin three-bet to 6,300 from the small blind. Both Kim and Godbout called to see the flop.
A 6♥2♠2♥ was fanned and Guertin continued for 7,000. Kim took around 30 seconds before making a call and Godbout also paid to see the turn.
The 5♥ prompted Guertin and Kim to check. Godbout bet 15,000 and Guertin made a quick fold. Kim paused, and then flicked in a chip to call to see the 9♥ complete the board.
Both checked quickly to showdown and Guertin tabled his 7♦7♥ for the heart flush, but Kim took the pot after turning over his 10♥10♠ with the ten of hearts.
There were over 22,000 already in the middle when this hand was picked up on a board of 3♦6♠Q♥7♦.
Naveen Sama put out a large bet of 30,300 from middle position, and David Lee hung in there with a call on the button.
The 6♦ river did not deter Sama as he opted to go all in for 38,500. Lee gave it some thought and called for less to put himself at risk.
Sama showed A♥Q♦ for queens and sixes, which was enough to elimiante Lee who tabled 10♠10♦ to bow out from contention.
