Daniel Henriques moved all in for 480,000 under the gun and Renan Bruschi called on the button. Bojan Berberovic then reshoved for around 1,500,000 in the big blind and Bruschi folded.
Daniel Henriques: 3?3? 
Bojan Berberovic: 10?10?
Henriques was crushed by Berberovic's tens as the flop came K?8?7?. The turn, though, was the 3? and Henriques spiked a set. The river was the 6? and Henriques tripled up.

Renan Bruschi raised to 125,000 in the cutoff and Roman Stoica called in the big blind.
The flop came 9?5?2? and Bruschi bet 110,000. Stoica used a time bank before moving all in for 1,050,000, and Bruschi called.
Roman Stoica: K?9?
Renan Bruschi: A?10?
Stoica was ahead with top pair, while Bruschi was on a flush draw. The 9? turn improved Stoica to trips, but Bruschi spiked the 7? on the river to complete his flush and send Stoica to the rail.
Bruschi, who had been nursing a short stack most of the day and has been all in for his tournament life on numerous occasions, took the chip lead with that pot.

Marcin Dziubdziela: A?Q?
The two players were racing as the flop came 2?4?4?. The J? turn gave Tasyurek a full house and Dziubdziela was drawing dead before the 8? river as Tasyurek doubled up.

Renan Bruschi found himself all in again, this time for 250,000 against Andrei Spataru.
Renan Bruschi: 4?4?
Andrei Spataru: A?3?
The 5?9?J?7?J? board didn't give Spataru the ace he needed and Bruschi doubled up yet again.
"Never die," he said while collecting the pot.

Heads-up on a flop of 2?5?J?, Bojan Berberovic put Renan Bruschi all in from the cutoff and Bruschi called for around 450,000 in the big blind.
Renan Bruschi: J?10?
Bojan Berberovic: A?A?
Bruschi was behind the aces of Berberovic until the J? fell on the turn to give him trips. The river was the 5? and Bruschi doubled up.
The next hand, though, Bruschi moved all in again from the small blind and Mikhail Zavoloka called for his last 700,000 in the big blind.
Mikhail Zavoloka: A?10?
Renan Bruschi: 10?8?
The 9?7?10? flop gave both players top pair and Bruschi a straight draw. "Jack one time," he pleaded, but the board instead came 5?Q? and Zavoloka doubled up with his ace-kicker.

Bojan Berberovic raised to 100,000 on the button, then called when Jenya Gavrilovich moved all in in the big blind.
Bojan Berberovic: A?8?
Jenya Gavrilovich: 2?2?
Berberovic hit trips on the 8?8?6? flop, then improved to a full house as the board ran out 3?A?. Gavrilovich began walking away from the table but was called back as a count of the chips showed he had Berberovic's 945,000 covered by just 15,000.
Gavrilovich was forced all in from the small blind the next hand as Mikhail Zavoloka raised to 100,000 in the hijack, Roman Stoica three-bet to 250,000 on the button, and Zavoloka folded.
Jenya Gavrilovich: K?10?
Roman Stoica: A?10?
Gavrilovich was dominated and found no help on the 2?3?6?7?5? board as he was eliminated in 12th place.
