Albert Sapiano limped under the gun before Dan Borlan raised to 75,000 out of the small blind. Sapiano called.
Heads-up to a flop of 6♦9♥4♥ which both players checked for the A♣ to fall on the turn. Borlan bet 45,000, which Sapiano called.
The 6♣ river checked through and Sapinao flipped over 5♥5♠ for just a pair of fives to take down the pot.

Soraya Estrada recalled a hand where she managed to eliminate Adrian State.
The action had folded around to State in the small blind, who shoved for around 350,000. Estrada had a slightly covering stack in the big blind and after thinking it over, she elected to call.
Adrian State: Ax7x
Soraya Estrada: AxJx
Estrada's hand held up, and State was sent on his way just a few places from the money.

Ghassan Al-Barwani shoved for 85,000 from under the gun and Andrei Roscan called from middle position. Mario Colavita then made it 200,000 from the hijack, and when the action got back to Roscan, he folded.
Ghassan Al-Barwani: A♠9♣
Mario Colavita: K♠10♠
Al-Barwani was in a great spot to more than triple-up, but that dream took a huge step towards becoming a distant memory as the J♣Q♠A♦ flop gave Colavita Broadway. A 5♥ on the turn sealed the deal, with the meaningless 10♣ completing the board.

There was a late position raise to 40,000 with Dmitry Gromov calling on the button before Grigorii Rodin squeezed all in with a stack that covered both players. The initial raiser folded, but Gromov called for his remaining 350,000.
Dmitry Gromov: K♦J♦
Grigorii Rodin: 10♠10♦
Gromov needed to win this flip to have a chance of making the money. However, the board ran out 7♦4♣4♥2♥Q♣, which kept Rodin's pocket tens ahead the whole way, sending Gromov out of the tournament.

Thiriart Arthur moved all in for his last 150,000 and was put at risk by Soraya Estrada.
Thiriart Arthur: J♠10♣
Soraya Estrada: A♣Q♣
Arthur had live cards but was drawing extremely thin after the 4♣K♣J♣ flop gave Estrada a flush. The Royal Flush draw was dead as Arthur held the missing piece in his hand, but the Q♠9♥ runout locked up the pot for Estrada and sent Arthur packing.
