Ivan Luca has been chipping up nicely in this level, because even though we haven't seen any big pots he's now up to 4.6 million chips. That is 700,000 more than his nearest competitor, Nick Petrangelo.
Just now Luca raised to 135,000 before the flop and Igor Yaroshevskyy called from the big blind. On a 
board the hand was checked down and Luca bet 310,000 on the river.
Yaroshevskyy tanked for several minutes and ultimately he folded his cards.

A 20-minute break for the players.
Ivan Luca raised before the flop and Charles Carrel was his only caller after which the flop bought out 
.
On the flop both players checked and Luca fired out 156,000 on the turn when the 
popped up. Carrel made the call and on the river the 
hit.
Luca started putting together a huge bet, and ultimately he slid forward 899,000.
Carrel immediately leaned forward onto the table, counted out his remaining stack in case he would call and lose, and two minutes later he did just that.
When Carrel called Luca showed 
for a flopped set, and the Argentinian now sits on 3.9 million chips. With that Luca now holds the chip lead with seven players remaining.

Ivan Luca opened for 88,000 and Nick Petrangelo made the call from the button.
"How much you got mate" Charles Carrel asked his neighbor Sylvain Loosli. Loosli counted out just under 500,000 and Carrel made the call from the small blind. Now the decision was on Loosli in the big blind, and he shoved all in for 496,000 total.
Initial raiser Luca and Petrangelo folded, Carrel made the call.
Sylvain Loosli: 
Charles Carrel: 
The flop was good for Loosli with 
. The turn was about as good as they could come for Carrel, giving him clubs and jacks to win the hand. The 
on the river sealed Loosli's fate, the former November Niner exited in 8th place.
The remaining seven players are guaranteed six figures from now on; €102,000.
