Arthur Thiriart raised to 40,000 under the gun before Gregoire Auzoux three-bet to 90,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Thiriart he shoved for roughly 400,000. Auzoux snap-called.
Arthur Thiriart: 10♠10♥
Gregoire Auzoux: J♠J♥
Auzoux had Thiriart pipped by one and looked likely to be sending him to the rail. A clean runout of 7♥3♦5♥K♥8♠ meant Auzoux's jacks would hold up and all of Thiriart's chips were sent over to him.

Alexander Sokolovsky raised to 40,00 under the gun before Mustafa Biz three-bet to 125,000 from the next seat. Xin Tang then four-bet shoved for 325,000 out of the big, which only Biz called.
Xin Tang: K♥K♦
Mustafa Biz: K♠K♣
It looked likely that they were going to chop the pot as both had pocket kings. However, the flop of 9♦9♥7♦ offered Tang a potential backdoor flush draw. The J♦ turn produced that flush draw, and when the 4♦ came on the river Tang had spiked a flush with his Cowboys, earning him the double-up.

Maxime Chilaud has his stack of a little under 200,000 in the middle and was put at risk by Gaspare Sposato.
Maxime Chilaud: A♥Q♥
Gaspare Sposato: 6♣6♠
Chilaud would have been relieved to see the A♠ in the window, and it was followed by the 7♣7♠. A J♠ on the turn did give him a sweat though as Sposato picked up a flush draw, but the Q♦ river was clean, and Chilaud doubled up.

The action folded to Roman Stoika in the small blind, who shoved his stack of 155,000 into the pot. Gaspare Sposato was in the big blind and quickly called.
Roman Stoika: A♦10♠
Gaspare Sposato: Q♦J♦
Stoika managed to hold on as the 3♥4♣8♣7♥10♣ runout meant his hand was best at showdown.

Aliaksandr Hirs raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Bogdan Jontulovic called from the button.
The flop came down 9♦8♦4♥ and Hirs check-called a bet of 45,000 from Jontulovic.
The 6♣ rolled off on the turn and Hirs check-called another bet from Jontulovic, this time for 140,000.
The 7♦ hit the river and both players checked. Hirs showed aces with A♥A♦, but was second best to the rivered straight of Jontulovic with Q♥10♥.

Motokatsu Uhara had his remaining 350,000 in the middle and was put at risk by Ludovic Uzan.
Motokatsu Uhara: 10♥10♣
Ludovic Uzan: A♠K♠
The board was quickly scooped up by the dealer, but an ace on the flop was enough to secure the pot for Uzan, and send Uhara out one away from the money.
