The turn was the and the river the .
Manuel was eliminated and German scooped a huge pot.
Jake Cody lost half of his stack to Julien Sitbon and then failed to hold up in two all ins against the same player. The second time was for his tournament life and the PokerStars Team Pro joined the rail. Luca Pagano was last seen with just six big blinds when switching tables and he also departed at almost the same time.
Right after, the staff broke a table as the field was reduced to the last 64 hopefuls. Another 30 of them will go home empty-handed, as the top 34 spots share a portion of the prize pool.
A raising war broke out between Mikhail Drozdov in the big blind and Dmitrii Shchepkin in early position. After the former eventually committed his stack of 54,100 and the latter quickly called, it became obvious why both players clashed as soon as the cards were turned over.
Mikhail Drozdov:
Dmitrii Shchepkin:

Javier Zarco tangled with PokerStars Team Pro Liv Boeree in a recent pot where Boeree was in the big blind.

Nicolos Beker opened to 4,100 and Chris Moorman called from one seat over in the hijack. In the cutoff, Pierre Neuville three-bet to 14,100 and Ivan Deyra then four-bet to 28,500 after some consideration on the button. The blinds, Beker and Moorman quickly released their cards.
Neuville glanced over at the stack of Deyra, who had another 15,000 behind, and moved all in. Deyra called and was in need of help.
Ivan Deyra:
Pierre Neuville:
The flop of was a sweat for the Frenchman, but neither the turn nor the river improved Deyra.
Down to just seven tables, the remaining players are heading into the last level of the night. It seems unlikely that the money will be reached tonight still, but a few hopes of getting as far are going to be crushed before bagging and tagging.
After a raise to 5,100, Makrem Saber moved all in for 26,000 on the button. Joe Johnson four-bet all in out of the small blind and that got the blind blind and initial raiser out of the way.
Saber showed the and was trailing Johnson's . The board ran out and the kicker played to eliminate Saber.
Benjamin Morrison opened for 5,200 from under the gun. Javier Zarco on the button raised to 14,600 and PokerStars Team Pro Liv Boeree called from the big blind.
Morrison then raised to 39,000 which saw a frustrated Zarco fold. Boeree stuck around though and put in the chips.
After so much preflop action they checked it down to the river of a board reading where Morrison said, “There is no way I’m winning this hand.”
