4
3, as did Nicolas Chouity. The turn was the 4
and Guerfi bet 310,000.
Chouity called and the river was the K. Guerfi then bet 785,000, effectively putting in half of his remaining stack. Chouity then announced that he was all in and Guerfi called, showing A-K.
Chouity revealed slow-played pocket eights for a full house and Guerfi was eliminated. Chouity now has over 14 million, more than 7 times his nearest competitor.
Roger Hairabedian Eliminated in 7th Place (€200,000)
Nicolas Chouity raised and Roger Hairabedian moved all in for just about three big blinds. Chouity showed A3 Suit and had Hairabedian’s J3 dominated.
The board fell A
A5QQ and Hairabedian was eliminated.
Aleh Plauski Eliminated in 6th Place (€300,000)

The board fell 7529Q however, and Plauski was eliminated.
Andrew Chen Eliminated in 5th Place (€400,000)
Andrew Chen moved all in for 1,960,000 and Josef Klinger instantly called with pocket kings. Chen sheepishly turned over 97 and failed to connect with a board of JJ1059.

The board ran out KK663 and Chouity took the pot. Costa, despite only playing four hands at the final table, was able to move up several spots on the money ladder.
Dominykas Karmazinas Eliminated in 3rd Place (€700,000)
Action was folded to Nicolas Chouity who moved all in from the small blind. Dominykas Karmazinas woke up with A7 and made the call.
Chouity could only show a dominated A6, but the board fell Q536K to give him the pot with a pair of sixes and send Karmazinas to the rail.
