Enrico Camosci raised to 475,000 in the small blind and Marco Lupino shoved all in for 1,005,000 in the big blind. Camosci quickly called and the cards were tabled.
Lupino showed K♠5♣ and Camosci was live with 9♣6♠. The board ran out K♦J♦10♦8♣10♣ and Lupino's two pair was good for a double-up.
On the next hand, Camosci shipped all in for 3,200,000 on the button and Lupino quickly moved all in for just over 2,000,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded and the cards were on their backs again.
Marco Lupino: A♥A♦
Enrico Camosci: 5♠5♥
The flop fell 9♥6♥5♦ with the five in the window to give Camosci a set of fives. The 4♣ turn and the 3♥ river eliminated Lupino in 10th place.
The action folded to Tom Orpaz in the small blind and he went all-in for roughly three million chips. Sim Kok Wai was in the big blind and put himself at risk by calling off his remaining 2,595,000.
Sim Kok Wai: 7♥7♠
Tom Orpaz: K♠J♣
A crowd gathered around the table, hopeful that this flip would burst the bubble. The deck had other plans in mind, however, as the window card gave Wai a set on the 7♣3♦5♦ flop. The J♦ and 6♠ finished the board and Wai won a huge double while Orpaz was left with two big blinds.
Those big blinds went in the very next hand when Orpaz threw them in from the button. Both the blinds Wai and Weiran Pu made the call and check the board of 8♠6♣Q♠9♠4♣ down all the way.
Tom Orpaz showed the best hand with ace-seven high: A♦7♣. The A♥5♠ and J♦5♦, of Wai and Pu respectively, were nullified as Orpaz shot straight back into contention.
The action folded around to Paolo Boi in the small blind who ripped all in. Candido Cappiello waited for the action to be finished at the other table before making the call for his stack of 2,260,000.
Candido Cappiello: J♠J♦
Paolo Boi: A♥Q♦
The flop came J♣9♥9♣ to give Cappiello a full house and a dominating lead. The 10♣ on the turn left Boi drawing dead to the 10♠ on the river.

Due to multiple players stalling excessively, the tournament direction has made the decision to play the remainder of the final table bubble hand for hand.
Walter Ripper shoved all in for 1,370,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Weiran Pu in the big blind who flicked in a chip to call.
Walter Ripper: Q♠8♥
Weiran Pu: 5♥5♣
The flop came 3♥3♣2♠ and Pu was still out front with his pocket fives. However, the 8♠ on the turn got the Brazilians cheering and the Q♦ on the river ensured Ripper of a double up.
Igor Pihela Jr open-jammed 2,200,000 chips from under the gun. Tom Orpaz was in the next seat over and rejammed for 2,800,000. Walter Ripper sat in the big blind with a stack of around two million as well and tanked for a while before eventually forfeiting his hand. The other two players were ordered to show down.
Igor Pihela Jr: A♠Q♥
Tom Orpaz: A♥K♠
Pihela Jr's hopes of a double diminished significantly as Ripper revealed he folded ace-queen as well. Indeed, neither of the two remaining queens appeared on 4♣A♣8♥5♦2♦ and that spelled the end of Pihela Jr's tournament life. He finished in 11th place and the €2,200 FPS High Roller is now on the final table bubble.
Weiran Pu opened to 320,000 from under the gun and Florian Guimond shipped all in for around 1,400,000 in the small blind. The action folded back to Pu who quickly called to put Guimond at risk.
Florian Guimond: A♦Q♠
Weiran Pu: J♥J♦
The flop came K♠7♦4♥ and Pu was still in the lead with his pocket jacks. The 9♦ on the turn and the 7♥ on the river were no help to Guimond who was ousted in 12th place.
