The remaining seven players have been sent on a 15-minute break.
Jean Benvenga opened 2,000,000 under the gun, and Sylvain Berthelot called in the cutoff, followed by Martin Zamani on the button and Francesco Macri in the small blind before Stanislovas Vinicenka jammed 7,400,000 from the big blind. Only Benvenga called.
Stanislovas Vinicenka: A?Q?
Jean Benvenga: A?Q?
Both players had the same hand and they paired their ace on the A?10?6? flop. The 4? turn was a sweat as Vinicenka picked up a flush draw, but the 3? river was a brick.

Santiago Nadal opened to 1,600,000 in the cutoff and Martin Zamani defended in the big blind.
Zamani checked on the flop of 10?5?Q? and Nadal continued for 1,100,000. Zamani check-raised to 2,400,000 and Nadal called.
Zamani bet 2,700,000 on the 7? turn and Nadal called. Zamani then put out a small bet of 1,600,000 on the 6? river and goaded his opponent.
"I'm not that crazy. Or am I?" Zamani asked as Nadal folded.

Johannes Verhagen shoved for his last 3,400,000 in the hijack and Jean Benvenga made the call on his left.
Johannes Verhagen: A?4?
Jean Benvenga: K?Q?
Verhagen was ahead with his ace-high but the K?Q?8? flop wasn't favorable for him as Benvenga flopped two pair. The J? turn gave a sliver of hope as he picked up a gutshot straight draw but the board pairing J? river was no help.

Stanislovas Vinicenka was all in for around 2,000,000 from the button against Martin Zamani in the hijack.
Stanislovas Vinicenka: Q?J?
Martin Zamani: K?2?
Zamani stayed ahead on the flop of K?4?J?, but the 10? turn gave Vinicenka some hope with an open-ended straight draw. The 9? then landed on the river to give him the straight and earn him a double through the chip leader, who continued to banter with Parker Talbot.
"After this, do I become a Stars ambassador?" Zamani asked.
"No f***ing chance," replied Talbot.

Magnus Persson opened 1,700,000 in the hijack and Martin Zamani defended the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 6?6?4?, and Zamani check-raised a bet of 2,400,000 to 7,100,000. Persson thought about it for a few moments before announcing all-in for about 22,000,000 and Zamani snap-called.
Magnus Persson: K?K?
Martin Zamani: 6?2?
It was a cooler flop for Persson, but the A? turn gave him some extra outs with a flush draw. However, the 3? river changed nothing, sending Persson out in ninth place.
