: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mikhail Zavoloka had managed to double up his extreme short stack once before he got his last 250,000 in the middle again, this time against Renan Bruschi in a blind versus blind battle.
Mikhail Zavoloka: K?7? 
Renan Bruschi: Q?5?
Zavoloka hit top pair on the 8?K?6? flop, but Bruschi had flopped a flush. Zavoloka picked up some hope on the 7? turn, but he missed the 3? river and was eliminated in 10th place.
The remaining nine players are drawing for seats at the final table, after which they will take an hour break. The final table should begin around 7:50 p.m.

Marcin Dziubdziela raised to 450,000 under the gun before Rachid El-Yaacoubi moved all in from the big blind. Dziudziela snap-called for his last 100,000.
Marcin Dziubdziela: A?A?
Rachid El-Yaacoubi: A?10?
Dziubdizela had woken up with aces, but the J?7?K? flop gave El-Yaacoubi a straight draw and the 9? turn a flush draw. "This is a sweat," Dziubdziela said heading to the river, which came the 4? and sealed his double up.

Mikhail Zavoloka moved all in for 700,000 on the button and Bojan Berberovic called in the small blind.
Bojan Berberovic: 10?10?
Mikhail Zavoloka: 8?7?
Zavoloka had run into Berberovic's overpair as the J?6?10? flop gave Berberovic a set. The board ran out 4?K? and Zavoloka got up to leave, but a recount showed he had Berberovic's 600,000 covered by just 100,000.

Andrei Spataru raised to 400,000 in the cutoff before Bojan Berberovic moved all in from the big blind. Spataru then tossed in his last 5,000.
Andrei Spataru: A?8?
Bojan Berberovic: 10?10?
Spataru was trailing Berberovic's tens going to the river on a board of 9?Q?6?2?, but he caught the A? on the river to double up to a raucous celebration from his rail.

Rachid El-Yaacoubi limped in from the button and Marcin Dziubdziela moved all in for 170,000 in the small blind. Milos Skrbic called in the big blind, as did El-Yaacoubi.
Both players checked down the 4?4?2?Q?3? board and Dziubdziela turned over Q?10? for two pair. Skrbic mucked and El-Yaacoubi also mucked A?10? as Dziubdziela tripled up.
