Niveau 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Three ways on a 10♠9♣7♠ flop, Sean Jazayeri check-raised all in for his last 80,000 from the big blind facing a bet from Jose Nadal, who was in middle position. Valentino Konakchiev folded from early position and Nadal put in a single chip to indicate a call.

Sean Jazayeri: 8♠4♠ All in
Jose Nadal: Q♠10♣

Jazayeri held a combo draw against Nadal's top pair, but the K♣K♦ runout bricked out for Jazayeri — eliminating him on the stone bubble and ending play for the day.

Stefan Leenen: A♥J♠ All in

Niveau 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Borja Martinez opened to 12,000 from early position and was three-bet to 26,000 by Jari Mahonen in the hijack. Action folded back around to Martinez, who announced he was all in. Mahonen quickly called all in for approximately 130,000 total and hands were revealed.

Jari Mahonen: Q♦Q♥ All in
Borja Martinez: A♦K♥

The 2♥5♠A♠ flop paired Martinez's ace and sent Mahonen out of his seat to gather his belongings.

The K♠ turn and K♦ river needlessly improved Martinez to a full house and Mahonen exited the tournament area.

Francisco Ruiz: A♦10♣ All in
Jacques Dan: 9♠9♥

It was a fair fight, but the Q♦3♠K♠5♥6♦ runout favored Dan's pair of nines to eliminate Ruiz.

Niveau 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Sylvester Kubiak opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 25,000 by Valentino Konachiev in the cutoff. Jose Nadal four-bet to 65,000 from the small blind and Kubiak called all in for approximately 50,000 total. Konachiev shoved for 262,500 and Nadal called to put both players at risk.

Sylvester Kubiak: Q♣10♣ All in
Valentino Konachiev: K♠K♥ All in
Jose Nadal: J♦J♥

Konachiev was well ahead with his cowboys, and the 3♥3♣10♦6♥3♦ runout kept him best to send the monster pot his way and eliminate Kubiak as the Day-2 bubble nears.

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Christophe Kissel opened to 9,000 from the hijack and found one caller in Serafim Kovalevskiy in the big blind.

Kovalevskiy checked to Kissel, who bet 16,000 on the 9♦Q♦9♠ flop. Kovalevskiy thought a while before check-raising to 40,000, which was met with an immediate all in from Kissel for a bit over 100,000. Kovalevskiy called to put Kissel at risk and hands were revealed.

Christophe Kissel: Q♣10♣ All in
Serfim Kovalevskiy: J♦10♦

Kissel was technically ahead with his queen, but would need to fade a load of outs against Kovalevskiy's open-ended straight draw and flush draw.

The 4♦ turn filled Kovalevskiy's flush and the 3♥ river bricked out for Kissel — eliminating him from contention.

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tudor Zapsa raised 8,000 in the cutoff and Walid Boudjedra three-bet to 17,000 next to act. Liutauras Armanavicius was in the small blind and moved all-in for 129,500. Zapsa responded by sending the rest of his 230,000 across the line as well. Boudjedra thought about it for about a minute before folding A♣Q♣ face-up.

Liutauras Armanavicius: Q♦Q♠ All in
Tudor Zapsa: K♦K♠

Armanavicius only had one queen to hit as he saw one had already been mucked. The A♠8♦5♦ missed both players, but Boudjedra sighed in disappointment as he saw he would have out-flopped both players. The 7♣ turn and 6♥ river were no help for Armanavicius as he exited the table.

Joel Casanovas shoved his last 29,500 on the button, and Thierry Navarro quickly made the call in the big blind.

Joel Casanovas: 4♦4♣ All in
Thierry Navarro: A♦J♥

Casanovas seemed enthusiastic when he saw it was a flip, but that quickly changed as the dealer fanned the J♦9♠7♠ flop. Casanovas tapped the table and stood up, and the dealer completed the board with the 9♣ turn and the 2♣ river.
