The remaining 432 players have been sent on a 20-minute break. They will return to blinds of 3,000/6,000 with a 6,000 big blind ante.
With 317 players getting paid, the bubble is fast approaching.
Justin Vaysman started the action from the cutoff with a raise to 10,000, and Jan Verner, seated in the big blind, called.
On the 5?7?6? flop, Verner bet 8,000, and Vaysman responded with a raise to 35,000. Verner then three-bet to 89,000, prompting Vaysman to quickly go all in, which Verner snap-called.
Jan Verner: 5?5?
Justin Vaysman: J?10?
Vaysman needed another diamond to improve his hand, but the 3? turn and the 9? river did not help him, allowing Verner to double up.

Action picked up with Coby Hoogi all in from the big blind and a player in late position three-betting all in with a massive stack. Ryan Riess was in the tank on the button and eventually found the fold, leaving Hoogi heads up with the late position player.
Coby Hoogi: A?10?
Late Position:7?7?
The 10?J?K? flop instantly put Hoogi ahead and the 6?3? runout gave him the double.

A player opened to 15,000 from the cutoff before Martin Zamani called off for his last 12,000 on the button.
Martin Zamani: A?10?
Cutoff Player: K?Q?
Zamani was ahead until the flop came Q?4?J? prompting him to get up from his seat and wish the table good luck as he walked towards the exit. The 3? turn and 10? river did not change anything to ensure Zamani would not need to be called back to the table.

With only 22,500 left, Pierre Mothes went all in with K?9? and was called by James Casement holding K?J?.
The flop of 4?4?7? didn't improve Mothes's hand, but there was still a chance for a second small pair to split the pot. However, the turn and river had different ideas, revealing A?8?, and Mothes was eliminated, giving Casement his first bounty.

Picking up the action on the flop, Yueqi Zhu in the big blind was involved in a hand with a player in middle position.
With the board reading 3?A?9? Zhu checked to the middle position player, who bet 4,000. Zhu responded with a raise to 8,000, leaving himself around 16,000 behind. His opponent made the call.
Zhu moved all in following the 8? turn and was snapped off.
Yueqi Zhu: K?Q?
Middle Position Player: A?10?
Zhu would need to make his flush to survive and was able to do so on the 4? river. Looking a little sheepish at his good fortune, Zhu said "don't write that hand" as he raked in the full double.
