Kneepens couldn't overturn his domination and bowed out after the J♦6♥3♣8♦3♠ runout.
Mathieu Goncalves opened to 3,000 from under the gun and saw Espen Myrmo call from the small blind. Renan Revinthis three-bet to 15,500 from the big blind to put the action back on Goncalves. He called ahead of Myrmo folding.
Goncalves called a bet of 10,500 on the K♦J♥3♠, which brought in the 4♠ turn. He then moved all in as the bigger stack after Revinthis sized up to 22,500. The latter pondered for a few moments before opting to save the 60,000 he had left behind.
Ren Lin opened from hijack to 3,000 and was three-bet to 13,000 by Jakub Piwowarski out of the small blind. Lin called.
Piwowarski's bet of 6,500 was called by Lin on the 3♣8♦A♠ flop.
The 6♠ turn saw Piwowarski opt to check-call a bet of 21,000 from Lin.
Piwowarski checked again on the 6♦ river and Lin quickly shoved for Piwowarski's remaining 45,000. Piwowarski called and was shown 9♦9♥ by Lin. Piwowarski tabled A♥J♦ for top pair to take down the pot.

Ermanno Di Nicola led out for 4,500 from the small blind on a flop of 7♠6♠5♦ before Nicola Scire raised to 14,000 in the big blind. Sergii Baranov then moved all in for 47,000 from under the gun, Di Nicola reshoved, and Scire got out of the way.
Sergii Baranov: 5♥5♣
Ermanno Di Nicola: A♠3♠
Baranov was ahead with his set of fives, while Di Nicola had straight and flush draws. The 8♣ turn was safe for Baranov, while the K♦ fell on the river and Baranov secured the pot to double up.
On a flop of A♣K♥J♥ with 9,500 in the pot, Rania Nasreddine checked her small blind to Daniel Veloson in the big blind.

On the river 7♠, Nasreddine checked a final time and Veloson checked back.
Nasreddine tabled Q♣8♣ for queen-high with a missed straight draw and club draw.
Veloson showed 9♥7♥ for a missed heart draw that found a winning pair of sevens on the river to take the pot.
Gabriel Cunha and Fabiano Da Costa built a pot of around 20,000 as they went heads-up to the turn on a board of 7♦9♠Q♥A♦. Da Costa then bet 12,000 from the big blind and Cunha raised to 31,000 in early position.
Da Costa came back with an all-in shove and Cunha nearly beat him into the pot, calling for his last 129,000. Da Costa showed 9♦9♥ for a set, but Cunha had Q♠Q♦ for a set of queens. The A♥ river improved Cunha to a full house and earned him the massive double up.
"That's f**ked up," tablemate Jesse Lonis said. Benjamin Spragg and Daniel Rezaei are also seated at this talent-packed table.
A bit under 40,000 was already in the middle by the turn with the board reading 8♦4♣2♦K♣. Andrei Spataru checked from early position to Valery Yantsevich in the hijack who bet 30,000.
Spataru thought for a bit and then called to see the river 4♠.
After Spataru checked again, Yantsevich shut down as well and checked. Fortunately for him, he had the winner.
Spataru showed A♣J♣ for ace-high with a missed flush draw. Yantsevich showed A♠Q♠ for a superior ace-high to take down the pot.
Action was on the flop on a board of 5♠3♠8♦ and Luca Pagano led out from under the gun for 2,500 with 8♠8♣. Michael Kil raised to 8,500 with A♠2♠ and Pagano called.
The turn came the 9♠ to complete Kil's flush. Pagano bet 12,500 and Kil called.
The river was the 4♣ and Pagano shoved all in with his set of eights. Kil had nothing left to do other than make the call with the nuts and Pagano was eliminated from the tournament.
