Yaroshevskyy then sized down to 125,000 on the 10? river. After some thinking time, Labat raised to 1,050,000 and after a peak at his cards, Yaroshevskyy folded.

Action folded to Mario Navarro, who raised from the button. Anton Kraous called in the big blind.

The flop came 3?8?2?. Kraous checked and Navarro made the continuation bet, which Kraous called. The turn came the 7? and Kraous checked again. Navarro made it 250,000 and Kraous called.

The river came the 2?. Kraous checked a third time and Navarro moved all in for 770,000. Kraous didn't tank too long before making the call.

The floor told players to keep their cards face down. Navarro was already stood up and gathering his belongings, aware of what was to come.

When cards were revealed, Navarro flipped over J?10?. He'd been running a triple barrel bluff. Kraous showed K?3? for a pair of threes. He'd called all three streets with the best hand, picking off the bluff to send Navarro to the rail.

Players congratulated Kraous for his excellent call. Navarro was eliminated in 11th place for �16,000.

Nicolas Julien opened to 494,000 from the hijack, leaving just 150,000 behind. Ignacio Sole Aparicio called from the button and the blinds folded.

"Can you fold flop?" asked Aparicio. "Depends on the flop," replied Julien.

With the pay jump at 11 remaining, Nicolas Julien went into the tank on the J?10?9? flop. He eventually checked and his opponent put him all in.

After some moments passed, the tournament director then instructed Julien that he had 30 seconds to make a decision.

Julien called off his stack, and the cards were tabled.

Nicolas Julien: 4?4?
Ignacio Sole Aparicio: A?J?

The K?2? runout saw Aparicio's pair of jacks remain best and Julien was eliminated.

"If anyone leaves an insignificant amount of chips behind, they will have 30 seconds to act," relayed the floor to the two remaining tables.
