Milan Skacel got his last 100,000 into the middle preflop with Eran Carmi being the player to try and send him to the cashier's desk.
Milan Skacel: A♦8♣6♣5♦ 
Eran Carmi: A♣A♥K♥10♦
Skacel would need to crack Carmi's aces if he was to stay in the tournament. The flop of A♠9♦8♠ gave Carmi top set, but did provide Skacel with a straight draw. The 7♠ turn was exactly what Skacel needed as he improved to a straight on the turn. There was no board pair on the river as the dealer put out the 4♦ and Skacel had earned a much-needed double.

Arriving on a turn of 2♣6♣10♣9♥, Vivian Saliba made a bet of 65,000 into a pot of 80,000 from under the gun.
Anson Tsang had checked from the big blind and spent some time in the tank before putting Saliba all-in for 100,000 total. Saliba checked her cards and then called immediately.
Vivian Saliba: A♣K♦4♣3♦
Anson Tsang: K♣5♣4♥3♣
Tsang had no outs left in the deck, and he paid Saliba her double-up as the 5♠ river completed the board.

Fahredin Mustafov raised to 28,000 from early position with only Harry Casagrande making the call from the cutoff.
Both players checked the 6♦2♣3♠ flop to see the Q♠ come on the turn. Mustafov bet 35,000 and Casagrande min-raised to 70,000. Mustafov called.
After Mustafov checked the J♥ river, Casagrande shoved for 112,000. Mustafov asked the dealer for a count before he slid in the call.
Harry Casagrande: Q♦10♠9♠8♠
Fahredin Mustafov: A♦A♥J♠4♠
Casagrande had just a pair of queens, but Mustafov had that beat with a pair of aces. Mustafov pulled in the pot and Casagrande earned the title of the bubble boy for this event

Fahredin Mustafov raised to 25,000 in the hijack. David Sosic called in the small blind, as did Eran Carmi in the big blind.
Sosic checked to Carmi on the 7♥6♣3♥ flop, after which the latter led out for 41,000. Mustafov mucked before Sosic stuck in a call.
Carmi sized up to 102,000 on the 7♠ turn, again being check-called by Sosic, before both players checked the 9♠ river.
"Straight," announced Sosic as he tabled 10♦10♣9♦8♠ for a straight to the ten. Carmi mucked his cards in defeat, seeing Sosic chip up to a stack of 100 big blinds.

With 36 players still seated and 35 of them getting paid, the tournament has gone hand-for-hand until the bubble bursts.
Thomas Eychenne raised to 20,000 in the cutoff and called a subsequent three-bet to 68,000 from Matei Lupascu in the small blind.
Lupascu committed the rest of his 100,000 chips on the J♠2♦Q♥ flop and was quickly called by Eychenne.
Matei Lupascu: A♥A♦8♠5♦
Thomas Eychenne: A♣J♥10♥9♣
Lupascu was still ahead with his aces, and remained so on the A♠ turn. However, his set would become second-best on the K♥ river, with Eychenne's Broadway eliminating Lupascu in 37th.

On a flop of 8♠Q♦A♦ Iisakki Ullakonoja got the last of his chips into the middle with Tamazi Skhirtladze making the call to put him at risk.
Iisakki Ullakonoja: A♣9♦7♣5♣
Tamazi Skhirtladze: K♦Q♣9♥2♦
Ullakonoja had flopped top pair but Skhirtladze had a lot of outs to send him to the rail. The 10♦ turn meant Ullakonoja was drawing dead to the flush of Skhirtladze, as the inconsequential 3♦ came on the river.
