Joakim Andersson bet 120,000 and Hugo Machado shoved for 1,120,000. The chip leader snap-called.
Hugo Machado: A♠J♥
Joakim Andersson: K♥K♠
Andersson wins another huge pot after the clean runout of Q♦9♥7♦2♠5♥. The Swede has amassed that many chips, the table may need reinforcing so it doesn't buckle from the weight.
Agostino Scozzari bet 315,000 from early position, which happened to be the exact amount of chips Pascal Pflock had in the big blind. Action folded to Pflock who made the call.
Pascal Pflock: K♣5♣
Agostino Scozzari: Q♦9♥
Scozzari wanted Pflock's bounty and secured it after hitting a queen on the board of A♥Q♥8♥6♣2♠ to send Pflock home before the unofficial final table.
Benjamin Woywode moved all in for 1,200,000 from the cutoff and Agostino reshoved from the small blind for approximately 2,000,000, folding out all other players to leave Woywode at risk.
Benjamin Woywode: 8♥8♣
Agostino Scozzari: A♠10♠
The board ran out A♦5♦2♥2♠5♥ giving Scozzari two pair, aces and fives to eliminate Woywode and make way for the official final table.

Joakim Andersson opened to 160,000 from middle position and Stepan Budac moved all in for 600,000 from the cutoff. Andersson made the call to put Budac at risk.
Stepan Budac: 7♣7♦
Joakim Andersson: J♥10♥
Andersson got the better of the 10♦8♣4♠ flop with top pair and remained ahead on the Q♣ turn and 5♦ river to score the first knockout of the official final table.
Bruno Desimoni bet 200,000 from early position. Miguel Abad moved all in from the big blind for 280,000 and was called by Desimoni.
Miguel Abad: A♣Q♦
Bruno Desimoni: Q♠9♠
Abad was dominating Desimoni preflop, but it would all change on the J♦10♣9♣ flop to give Desimoni a pair of nines. Abad needed an ace or a king to win and an eight would have been a chop. But the 10♥4♣ completed the board to send the Spaniard out in eighth place.
