Eloi Ferret opened to 1,200 from the hijack and was called by Petros Karadimos on the button before Roberto Beccaria three-bet to 4,000 from the small blind. Ferret got out of the way while Karadimos made the call.
The flop came 7♠6♥3♠ and Beccaria shoved with his remaining stack of roughly 20,000. Karadimos, who had his opponent slightly covered, opted to fold and Beccaria took the pot without showdown.
A three-way all-in pot between Eloi Ferret, Konstantinos Polymeropoulos, and Roberto Beccaria left the latter with a chance at eliminating two opponents if his pocket pair could hold up.
Eloi Ferret: A♥10♠ 
Konstantinos Polymeropoulos: A♠4♠
Roberto Beccaria: 6♣6♦
Ferret had the shortest of the three stacks and took the lead after he paired his ten on the J♥5♣10♦ flop. Polymeropoulos needed to find an ace to take the side pot but the runout of 8♥2♣ meant he was eliminated, Beccaria took the side pot, and Ferret earned himself a triple-up.
Kym Nguyen raised from middle position to 1,200 and Pierre Morin three-bet from the cutoff to 4,200. Fabrizio Ortolomo then shoved for 14,500 from the big blind, which got Nguyen to fold, but Morin made the call.
Fabrizio Ortolomo: A♥A♦
Pierre Morin: A♣K♣
No help arrived for Morin on the 8♣5♦10♦ flop but he did pick up a flush draw on the 5♣ turn. A club is what Morin needed to secure a knockout but the 2♠ was no help, which meant Ortolomo doubled up.

As it celebrates 20 years of the European Poker Tour (EPT) in Barcelona, PokerStars announced several rule and procedure changes to maintain game integrity, including new rules banning solvers and preflop charts for players and spectators alike.
Kenny Hallaert, a longtime tournament official who recently signed on as a PokerStars ambassador, announced the changes on social media on Monday as EPT Barcelona kicked off with the €1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event. They include reductions in shot clock time, new dealer guidelines and changes to the redraw process.
PokerNews spoke with the Belgian poker pro to learn more about the game integrity rule changes, the majority of which he said would be in place in Barcelona and going forward at future stops.
Josep Valls opened to 1,100 from under the gun and was called by Laurence Stein from the next seat over and Senol Ardic on the button.
The flop came A♠K♠8♥. Valls bet 1,600 and Stein called before Ardic announced that he was all in, pushing forward his remaining stack of roughly 25,000. Valls, who had started the hand with around 45,000, made the call to put Ardic at risk while Stein got out of the way.
Senol Ardic: 5♠4♠
Josep Valls: K♦8♦
Valls was in great shape with two pair against Ardic's flush draw. He remained ahead when the rest of the board ran out 4♦7♥ and dragged in a massive pot while Ardic made his exit from the tournament area.
With around 30,000 chips already in the pot on a board that showed K♠10♥6♣10♠2♦, Miguel Franco checked the river over to Serhii Tarnakin, who shoved his entire stack into the middle. Franco had 16,000 chips behind and took just a fraction of a second to commit them all into the pot.
Tarnakin tried to muck but his Q♠J♠ was exposed by the dealer which showed the Ukrainian player had missed both straight and flush draws. Franco then revealed K♦10♣ for a turned full house, which was more than enough to claim the pot.
With two players seeing a board of 8♦8♥8♣ and roughly 2,600 in the middle, Yuhan Wang bet 1,000 from middle position and Farias Branco raised to 3,100 from the button. Wang made the call.
Both players then checked the A♠ turn leading to the 10♣ river. Branco bet 5,500 and after taking a minute to weigh his options, Wang once again opted to call.
Branco could only show K♣J♥ for a bluff while Wang tabled a full house with 9♦9♣ to take the pot.
Alexandre Mitjavila Moix opened the hijack to 1,100 and Gerard Rubiralta made a small three-bet from the cutoff to 2,200. Once the action got back to Moix, he made the call.
On the flop of 10♠3♣8♥, Moix check-called a bet of 2,200 from Rubiralta.
A 5♠ landed on the turn and again Moix went into check-call mode after Rubiralta bet 2,500.
The 8♦ river was checked through to showdown where Moix tabled J♦J♣, and Rubiralta mucked
