Just a few hands into ten-handed play, Anthony Pons moved all in from middle position and received a call from Salvatore Bonavena in the big blind.
Showdown
Bonavena: 
Pons: 
It was a classic race, but Pons needed to improve to stay alive. The Frenchman was on his feet to sweat the flop, which came down an unhelpful 
. The 
turn was of no consequence, and that meant Pons needed either an ace or queen on the river to stay alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
, putting an end to Pons' deep run in tenth place and bringing us to the official final table.

Action folded around to Jamel Haddad in the small blind and he moved all in to put the pressure on the short-stacked Igor Kalinicenko in the big blind. Kalinicenko woke up with a monster and quickly called off.
Showdown
Kalinicenko: 
Haddad:
While Kalinicenko had the best hand preflop, he didn't on the 
flop. Haddad had paired his four to take the lead, while the 
turn improved him to a full house. Kalinicenko needed a queen on the river to chop, but it was not meant to be as the 
peeled off on the river.

Joe Kuether got his stack of around 50,000 all in preflop and was in the worst possible shape against Remi Bollengier.
Showdown
Bollengier:
Kuether: 
Kuether was up out of his seat and collecting his things in preparation for a quick exit, which came after the board ran out 
. Kuether made his way to the payout desk in 12th place to collect €9,423.
