Action was on the flop on a board of 6♠10♥J♠ and Wolf Weber was all-in. Carlos Lopez called and players flipped their cards.
Wolf Weber: K♠Q♠ 
Carlos Lopez: J♣J♦
The turn came the K♦ and river the 4♣. Lopez held with his set of jacks to win the pot, eliminating Weber close to the bubble.
Laurie Tournier was all-in for 119,000 and at risk on the button with Q♣9♣ against Alexander Seibt from middle position with 7♦7♣. The players were already at the 7♥Q♦9♦ flop and Seibt was ahead with a set.
The 2♣ turn and 3♦ river didn't save Tournier and she was eliminated with around 290 players remaining, just before the bubble.
With 288 players remaining, play is going hand-for-hand until there is one more elimination.
After a raise to 8,000, Theo Degrave three-bet to 20,000 on the button. Oscar Mas then made it 55,000 to go in the small blind. The initial raiser folded before Degrave tossed in a call.
Mas took a few minutes before checking the 10♣Q♠6♠ flop, after which Degrave quickly followed. Mas checked again on the 2♦ turn, this time seeing a bet of 42,000 from his opponent.
Mas called to the K♠ river, where he checked for a third time. Degrave then shoved all in, covering the 155,000 of Mas. Mas went in the tank for several minutes before finally sticking in a call, putting himself at risk of becoming the bubble boy.
Once all the other tables had finished playing, Mas turned over K♥K♦ for a rivered set of kings, besting the set of queens of Degrave, who showed Q♥Q♣.
Mas doubled up to more than double the average stack, leaving Degrave with 20 big blinds.
Heads-up on a board of 4♠3♥6♥5♣, Casimir Seire bet 12,000 from the hijack. Sergi Escote was in the big blind and tanked for a minute before calling.
The river was the 8♦ and Seire bet another 37,000. Escote quickly called this time and Seire showed 8♠6♠ for two pair. Escote, though, had 10♥7♥ for a straight to win the pot.
Mark Teltscher opened from early position to 8,000 and the Day 1b chip leader Jeremie Zouari shoved for 34,000. Once it got back to Teltscher, he started talking with Zouari.
"You must have aces or kings, it's the bubble," remarked Teltscher.
"What do you want me to do?" Teltscher asked.
After some more table talk, Teltscher announced a fold and Zouari then showed A♠Q♠ as he raked in the pot.
"I'd have folded that. If you fold there you make the money," Teltscher finished with.
Piero Alioto had gotten his stack of 250,000 in preflop under the gun and had been looked up by Gabriel Cunha on the button, who had the covering stack. The cameras arrived and the cards were turned over.
Piero Alioto: J♥J♦
Gabriel Cunha: A♠K♠
Alioto was flipping for his tournament life on the bubble. The 5♠7♦Q♠ flop brought Cunha a flush draw, but the 9♣ turn and 2♣ river helped him no further.
Alioto doubled up and hand-for-hand play continued.
Jelle Moene opened to 9,000 from the button with K♦8♣ and Ami Barer defended A♥5♠ from the big blind.
The flop came K♠K♥5♦ giving Barer two pair and Moene trip kings.
Barer checked and Moene bet 5,000, which got a quick call from Barer.
The 4♦ was checked by Barer and Moene bet 11,000. Barer made the call but was drawing dead.
Barer checked the Q♣ river, with Moene betting 54,000. Barer went into the tank, and asked "there are other hands going right?" checking the status of the hand for hand play. Barer eventually folded, passing the pot to Moene.
Alexandre Raymond was down to 20,000 when he moved all in from the small blind and Carlos Jurado called in the big blind.
Alexandre Raymond: A♠Q♠
Carlos Jurado: 8♣5♦
The flop came Q♣9♠4♥ and Raymond took a big lead with top pair. Jurado was already drawing dead after the K♦ turn, while the 9♥ completed the board on the river and sealed Raymond's double up on the money bubble.
Venelin Pashev was all-in from middle position for 112,000 against Hans Erlandsson, who had him covered as players turned their cards.
Venelin Pashev: A♠A♣
Hans Erlandsson: A♥K♥
The board ran out 7♥5♦6♦Q♦9♣ and Pashev held with his pocket aces to double up on the bubble.
