The final 12 players can now regain some mental fortitude through a 15-minute break.

Antonio Calabro limped in from middle position before Marco Regonaschi made it 425,000 to go from the hijack. The other players folded quickly and Calabro went into the tank for several minutes. Eventually, he came up with a call and the two players saw a flop.
The 3♥9♣7♦ was fanned out and Calabro instantly went all in for 1,070,000. Regonaschi was just as quick with his single-chip call and there was a showdown.
Antonio Calabro: A♦9♦
Marco Regonaschi: K♦K♥
Calabro had flopped top pair and went with it, but Regonaschi was a big favorite with his overpair. No ace nor nine appeared on the 5♦ turn or Q♥ river and Regonaschi slammed the table in ecstasy, shouting ''Yes, yes, yes!'' throughout the mostly empty tournament room.
Calabro, meanwhile, left the tournament dejectedly, though he did bag a nice sum of more than €24,000.

The action folded to Tom Orpaz in the small blind who limped in without looking at his cards. Florian Guimond checked his option and Orpaz checked in the dark. The flop came A♣5♠4♦ and Guimond tossed in a bet of 120,000. Orpaz looked at one card and made the call.
The turn was the 7♦ and both players checked to the 10♣ on the river. Orpaz looked at both cards this time and made a bet of 400,000. After a minute in the tank, the clock was called and Guimond's time eventually ran out. Orpaz flashed the 6♣ as he raked in the pot.

Garteh McMahon sat in the under the gun position and played a stack of 790,000. He counted out his stack before he put it all at risk by announcing his all in. Florian Guimond was in the next seat over and called after getting confirmation from the dealer that it was indeed the correct amount. The other players were not interested in this carnage and laid their hands down.
Gareth McMahon: A♦7♣
Florian Guimond: A♥Q♠
McMahon was dominated and held his hands in front of his face as the 4♣10♣A♠ flop came to be. The turn paired the board with the 4♠ and he begged for a king to come on the river. The river did come a picture card, but it was of the wrong kind for McMahon; the J♥ completed the board.
McMahon gave Guimond a fistbump before leaving, afterwards stating that this hand ''was the worst mistake of his life.''

Marco Regonaschi had jammed his 1,400,000 stack all in from the cutoff and received a call from Sam Benoliel on the button. Benoliel played less as he had only 950,000 chips in his stack. The rest of the table got out of the way and their holdings were revealed.
Sam Benoliel: J♦J♣
Marco Regonaschi: A♦Q♥
A very big flip for both players and Regonaschi took a commanding lead on the Q♣7♥9♥ flop. Benoliel shook his head while the 8♠ and 6♠ were put out to complete the board, while Regonaschi let out a few cheers.
Benoliel had to leave the tournament room and Regonaschi almost doubled his stack at the final two tables of the €2,200 FPS High Roller.

Yiannis Liperis raised to 200,000 on the button and Demosthenes Kiriopoulos three-bet shoved all in for around 1,750,000 in the big blind. Liperis asked for a quick count and then called to put the Canadian at risk.
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: 5♠5♦
Yiannis Liperis: A♠Q♥
It was a coin flip but the flop of Q♣6♠3♥ gave Liperis the lead with a pair of queens. The 4♦ on the turn gave Kiriopoulos some outs but the 10♦ on the river was not one of them.

Marton Czuczor jammed 930,000 chips from the cutoff. Sim Kok Wai was on the button and made the call for his own stack of 830,000. Tom Orpaz was in the big blind and squeezed his cards slowly. He called quickly after he saw ''two good ones.'' A three-way all-in situation on the final two tables bubble.
Sim Kok Wai: 5♠5♥
Marton Czuczor: K♦7♦
Tom Orpaz: K♠Q♠
Wai's pocket pair stood tall on the 2♥6♣8♠6♠10♥ board and he secured a triple up, while Czuczor was eliminated. Orpaz only won a small side pot of 200,000 and he could immediately put them in racks as the final two table redraw was happening.

Yiannis Liperis opened to 200,000 in the cutoff and Samiyel Duzgun announced all in on the button. The blinds folded and Liperis quickly called off his stack of 1,470,000.
Yiannis Liperis: K♥K♣
Samiyel Duzgun: A♣8♥
The board ran out J♠6♥2♥9♣8♦ and Liperis doubled up, leaving Duzgun on just 175,000 chips.
Two hands later, Duzgun moved all in from under the gun with 6♦5♠ and Demosthenes Kiriopoulos isolated with K♠J♣. There was no lightning in the bottle for Duzgun on the 8♣8♦2♥Q♦A♣ board and he was eliminated.
