Originally the tournament was going to take a 5-minute break to do a color-up and then the longer 15-minute break was going to be taken once the final table was reached.
With Henrik Tellving being eliminated while the other table had already gone on break, the plan is to continue with the 5-minute break as planned, then players will return and re-draw for the final table before taking an extended break before the official final table begins.
Joe Serock opened the cutoff to 80,000 and both Ryan Readenour and Henrik Tellving called in the blinds.
The flop landed 
and the action was checked to Serock who bet 145,000. Readenour folded, but Tellving pushed all in for 560,000. Serock called, and the cards were tabled.
Serock: 
Tellving: 
The turn and river landed the 
and 
, and Tellving was eliminated in 10th place for a $9,727 payday.
