Juuso Luokkanen moved all in for 4,200,000 in the cutoff as action folded to Angelo Marrone in the big blind, who peeked down at his cards and instantly put in a chip to signify a call.
Juuso Luokkanen: Q♣J♣
Angelo Marrone: A♠K♦
The K♠8♣9♥ flop gave Marrone top pair, while Luokkanen picked up a straight draw. The 5♣ turn was no help, while the 4♦ river sealed Luokkanen's elimination in eighth place as Marrone, who began the day with just four big blinds, moved up to 12,000,000.

Xhavit Berisha raised to 1,000,000 in the cutoff and Alain Saka defended 7♥4♦.
The flop came A♥10♦4♥ and Berisha continued for 850,000. Saka called and the 4♣ turn improved him to trips.
He checked over to Berisha, who cut out a bet of 2,500,000 and slid it into the middle. Saka paused for a moment before moving all in, sending Berisha deep into the tank.
Berisha had 7,600,000 remaining and thought about the decision for several minutes before mucking J♠10♥.

Alain Saka used his big stack to open yet another pot, raising to 800,000 in the hijack. Dennis Magro called in the big blind as they went heads-up to the 7♠9♣7♠ flop.
Action was checked to the 6♠ turn, where Saka bet 750,000. Magro called to the 2♣ river, then led out for 850,000.
Saka took a few seconds before calling with 8♣6♣ for two pair, sevens and sixes, and Magro mucked K♠5♠ in frustration after another failed bluff attempt against the chip leader.
