Francesco Di Domenico led the pack, holding a massive chip advantage against the other eight players. Perati held a middling stack but soon chipped up. Pablo De Heredia was the first elimination from the final table, falling in 9th place (€11,445). Alex Sampirisi, who entered the final table as a short stack, knocked out Day 1C chip leader Jean-Marc Chiba in 8th place (€14,705). Francesco Delfoco in 7th (€19,180), and Xavier Zuczkowski in 6th (€25,400)  were the next eliminations from the final table.

After that, it took three hours for the next bustout. During this time, Perati took the lead from Di Domenico and ended Sampirisi’s dominating run, sending him out in 5th place for €34,140. Di Domenico soon found himself in the danger zone with just two big blinds and went all in holding A♦-5♥. Hervé Gouzil called with K♣-5♠, and Perati called, tabling his pocket threes. The dry board favored Perati’s pocket threes, eliminating Di Domenico in 4th place for €46,070.
