Level 41 : Blinds 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

At some point, it was Charles La Boissonniere who open-shoved from the cutoff for a total of 13,000,000 chips. Briski called on the button, and the blinds folded.

Charles La Boissonniere: K♦6♦.
Istvan Briski: A♣6♣.

Charles La Boissonniere stayed behind on the flop 4♦10♠9♠ and on the turn 7♠. He was definitively eliminated after Briski hit the A♥ on the river, giving him a pair.

Finishing fifth, La Boissonniere earned $125,777.

Level 41 : Blinds 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

On the first hand, Anthony Scarborough moved all in with the biggest stack to put pressure on his opponents and everybody folded.

Istvan Briski went all in on the very next hand and he took the blinds, too.

On the third hand of the day, Briski said "all in" again from the button for 34,100,000 chips. Julien Montois in the small blind folded, but Scarborough in the big blind seemed interested. He asked for the count and eventually called.

Istvan Briski: A♥5♠
Anthony Scarborough: A♠10♠

"Why are you slowrolling?" asked Briski to Scarborough. If there was a slowroll, it has been punished as Briski hit a five on 2♠9♣5♥6♥, then a second one on the river 5♣ to double up. He moved up to the second largest stack at the final table.
