Maria Ho started with two three-bets after the dinner break, raking in the open-raised of Vlad Darie and Andrei Boghean for 65,000 each. In the third hand, Ho raised to 65,000 from under the gun and Chi Zhang moved all in for 645,000 on the button. Boghean in the big blind asked for a count and reshoved to force a fold from Ho.

on the river did just that to eliminate Zhang in 17th place for €31,377.
The remaining 16 players will now redraw to the last two tables.
