Thomas Rauhe was one of the shorter stacks before the first break, falling to around 11,000 but he'd managed to spin up his stack to around the initial 30,000.
Three-ways to the 10x7xXx flop, Paolo Bonfanti led out for 4,300 into a pot of around 5,000 from the big blind. Carlos Sanchez clicked it to 10,300 from the hijack before Rauhe moved all in for 26,400 from the button. Bonfanti quickly folded while Sanchez called as the slightly bigger stack.
Thomas Rauhe: 7x7x
Carlos Sanchez: Ax10x
Sanchez had top-pair-top-kicker, while Rauhe was in great shape with his set of sevens. The Q♦ turn gave Rauhe the checkmark ahead of the 8♥ river.
Sanchez was left with just a few chips, and he was eliminated shortly after.

Ivan Ferrario opened to 1,400 from early position and called when Tobias Kirby-Hogarty three-bet to 5,000 from middle position.
Ferrario thought on the J♦10♥5♦ flop for around 30 seconds before announcing an all-in for around 30,000. Kirby-Hogarty had around 20,000 and appeared puzzled by the big bet. He also took some time to mull over his options, and after one more peak at his cards, he released his hand.
