Another player has been eliminated and it's Ludovic Geilich who's hit the rail. The EPT10 London 4th place finisher was very unlucky to find himself on the rail though.
He and Eli Heath got it all-in pre-flop for a 700,000 pot with Geilich holding pocket aces and Heath a pair of sevens. A seven on the flop sent the pot to Heath. That left Geilich very short and he was out soon after.

A hand that left the rest of the table flabbergasted just played out between Bahram Chobineh and Carlo De Benedittis. From under-the-gun Chobineh limped, De Benedittis raised to 23,000 only for Chobineh to limp re-raise to 47,000 total. His limp re-raise was met by an instant all-in from De Benedittis.
