Johan Guilbert limped in from the button and Antonio Galiana checked his option out of the big blind
The players saw a flop of J♣3♠8♥ and Galiana checked. Guilbert bet 300,000 and Galiana called.
Action checked through on the J♦ turn card.
The river was the 5♥, Gaiana checked his option. Guilbert decided to bet 750,000 and Galiana made the call. Guilbert showed the A♥Q♣ which bested Galiana's A♠7♦. Guilbert's queen kicker was the difference in this hand, and the Frenchman has overtaken the chip lead.

The remaining two players went on a short break so that everything can get set for heads-up play.
When play resumes, Antonio Galiana will still be holding the chip lead, but there is a lot of room to play between his stack of around 83 big blinds and Johan Guilbert's 63 big blinds.

Jeremy Ausmus made a stand in the big blind in the face of a button raise by Johan Guilbert.
Ausmus, the shortest stack of the remaining three players, announced an all-in bet and Guilbert snap-called to put the six-time WSOP bracelet winner at risk.
Jeremy Ausmus: A♥2♣ 
Johan Guilbert: A♠A♦
Ausmus needed a lot of help, but it didn’t arrive when the dealer fanned K♣7♠10♠ on the flop. The 10♦ on the river had Ausmus drawing dead, and the 6♥ was a formality on the river to send Ausmus to the rail.
Ausmus earned a $202,358 payout for his third-place finish.

Juha Helppi moved all in out of the small blind against Jeremy Ausmus, who was in the big blind and covered Helppi.
After a brief moment, Ausmus called to put Helppi at risk.
Juha Helppi: 10♥8♥
Jeremy Ausmus: Q♥10♠
Helppi saw he was behind after the cards were tabled and appeared resigned to his fate while he stood and drank from a water bottle.
His reaction didn’t change when the dealer fanned 5♣9♥5♠ on the flop. The turn was the 10♠, but Ausmus’ queen kicker kept him in the lead. The dealer placed J♦ on the river, giving Ausmus the winning hand.
Helppi finished the tournament in fourth place for a $151,592 payout.

Action folded to Romain Lewis on the button. He looked down at A♠Q♠ and minraised. The small blind folded and it was to chip leader Antonio Galiana in the big blind.
Galiana found 6♠6♣ and thought for a while. He then three-bet all in, which was for Lewis's stack of 8,100,000 or around 32 big blinds. Lewis thought for a short while and then called.
The flop was Q♦6♦9♦. Lewis's rail was excited to see the queen, but they initially missed that Galiana had made a set, leaving Lewis in bad shape.
The turn was the J♠ and Lewis was drawing dead. The river was the 9♥.
