Antoine Delorme on the button shoved for 5,800,000. Guillaume Garcia in the small blind went into the tank, and eventually three-bet all-in for 2,400,000. The big blind folded, so the cards went on their backs.
Guillaume Garcia: 9♥9♠
Antoine Delorme: K♥7♥
Garcia's nines held on the flop 5♠6♥2♠ and the turn Q♥. But the K♣ landed on the river to send him to the rail.
Jean-Claude Ruche in the small blind was the only one to call after Nicola Pezzullo opened from under the gun.
Pezzullo continued with a bet of 450,000 on a flop of 3♦2♦8♠, and Ruche check-called. But he snap-folded when Pezzullo bet on the turn 5♥.
Jean-Claude Ruche opened to 3,000,000 from the hijack, keeping only 625,000 behind. Then Yuzhou Yin to his left decided to call. He was the only one to do so.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♠5♣10♠, and Ruche moved all-in. Yin called with his last 350,000 chips.
Yuzhou Yin: J♣J♥
Jean-Claude Ruche: Q♦Q♣
Ruche flopped a set, an after the turn 8♠ and the river 4♣, he eliminated Yin in 8th place for 335,000 MAD.
In the hijack, Nicola Pezzullo opened to 500,000, and he faced Sandro Jose Alves in the big blind.
Both of them checked on the 10♠J♠9♠ flop. But after Alves checked again on the turn 8♥, Pezzullo bet 500,000.
Alves quickly called A♣2♣ and let the pot going in Pezzullo's direction. And maybe the Italian player wanted to see the river, because he had a straight and a straight flush draw with K♦Q♠.
Puzzello is the first player of the tournament to reach 10,000,000 chips.
