No ace found the table and Leveroni was left with less than a big blind. The next hand Ryan “jusgivithere” Fisler opened to 16,454 in early position. Chris Leveroni called all in for 663 and The Blond re-raised all in from the small blind for 53,712. Fisler called with Q♣10♥, which trailed The Blond’s A♠Q♠, and Leveroni’s 9♥4♥ was up for the small side pot.

Leveroni took seventh for $12,250 and The Blond earned $15,750 for sixth.
At 4,000/8,000/800, edoiler departed after shoving from the small blind for 33,988 with A♦8♠. Pokerhahntas called from the big blind with J♣2♥ and took it down when the board came K♣2♣3♣7♠Q♦. The fifth-place finish earned edoiler $20,125. Cesar “makavelyces” Fuentes went to the rail at 5,000/10,000/1,000 after a hand against pokerhahntas. Both held the same hand as pokerhahntas’ A♥J♥ faced Fuentes’ A♣J♦, but the board ran out 4♥9♥10♥10♦5♥ as pokerhahntas flopped the flush to send Fuentes away in fourth place for $29,400.
Ryan “jusgivithere” Fisler exited next. Caio Cesar “caio_pimenta” Pimenta raised to 25,000 on the button and Fisler went all in for 227,963 with K♥J♦.
