In a limped pot between the blinds, Jean-Noel Thorel led out for 100,000 on the 9?8?8? flop and Adrian Mateos called.

The turn was the 2? and Thorel bet another 150,000. Mateos again called to see the A? river. Thorel checked this time and Mateos bet 325,000.

Thorel called and Mateos showed A?2? for two pair on the river. Thorel shook his head as he mucked his cards.

Jesse Lonis open-jammed as first to act, and Mike Watson was the only one to call the 370,000 bet, from the cutoff.

Jesse Lonis: Q?10?
Mike Watson: A?Q?

Watson immediately spiked an ace on the 7?9?A? flop, and the 9? turn left Lonis without any outs. He said his goodbyes as the J? river hit the felt, leaving to collect his six-figure payout.

Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 80,000 under the gun and Adrian Mateos called in the cutoff.

The flop came 9?8?3? and Thorel bet 100,000. Mateos called. Both players then checked down the 2? turn and 6? river and Thorel turned over A?3? for a pair of threes. Mateos let out a laugh as he mucked.

Mateos got those chips back the next hand when he raised to 80,000 under the gun. Mike Watson three-bet to 230,000 in the small blind and Mateos moved all in for around 850,000. Watson quickly folded.

The action folded to Adrian Mateos in the small blind, who put big blind Sam Greenwood all in for his final 80,000. Greenwood made a blind call and the cards were flipped up.

Adrian Mateos: K?2?

Greenwood flopped best on 6?8?Q?, but the 3?10? runout gave Mateos a flush for the win.

Greenwood left the tournament area to collect his payouts while the other five contenders kept battling late into the night.

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sam Greenwood stuck in his last 20,000 as Stephen Chidwick forced out the rest of the table with a raise of 80,000.

Sam Greenwood: A?J?
Stephen Chidwick: K?Q?

The board ran out 4?3?A?10?K? and Greenwood finished with a pair of aces to double up. "I broke even," Chidwick said as he took the rest of the pot.

The next hand, Chidwick again raised to 80,000 from the hijack and Adrian Mateos defended his big blind. Action checked to the river on a board of 3?9?7?8?9? where Mateos led out for 140,000.

Chidwick used two time banks before raising to 510,000, leaving just one 5,000 chip behind. Mateos then used a time bank before folding.

Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 100,000 from under the gun before chipleader Mike Watson made it 325,000 to go from the big blind. Thorel obliged with a call and the pair went off to a flop of 7?K?8?.

Wattson continued with a bet of 140,000, followed by a call from Thorel. The 7? turn then slowed down Watson, who opted to check.

Thorel put in 400,000 chips, the majority of his stack, and Watson quickly folded, seeing the chiplead change hands back to the French all-time money leader.
