Dario Bagattini opened to 6,000 from the cutoff and received a call from Walid Igalla on the button before a player in the small blind three-bet to 32,500. Javier Romero then four-bet to 88,000, forcing Bagattini and Igalla out of the pot. The small blind moved all in for slightly more and Romero snap-called with a covering stack.
Small Blind: K♥K♦
Javier Romero: A♦A♠
The small blind had the second-best possible starting hand but was crushed facing Romero's pocket-aces. Romero held on the Q♠4♣8♥5♥4♥ runout to win the biggest pot of the night so far and take a commanding chip lead over the rest of the field.

Dario Bagattini opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and Walid Igalla moved all in for just under 80,000. After confirming his opponent's chip count Bagattini made the call with a covering stack to put Igalla at risk.
Walid Igalla: 10♣10♦
Dario Bagattini: A♦J♠
Bagattini pulled ahead with a pair of jacks on the Q♦J♣7♥ flop but the 9♣ turn gave Igalla some outs in the form of a straight draw. The 4♣ river was a brick and Igalla made his exit from the tournament area while Bagattini collected the last of his chips.
Meanwhile at the other table, Jonatan Caluino and Ruben Vara were recently eliminated.
