In Level 17 with blinds of 3,500/7,000 and an ante of 875, Sponsored Pro Daniel "leinad" Buzgon open-jammed for 97,100 in the hijack and received a call from Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken in the cutoff. All remaining players folded and the two were off to the races.

A trey on the flop all but sent Buzgon packing, and the turn confirmed such a result as it ensured no running wheel cards could possibly keep him alive. The river completed the runout and Buzgon was eliminated by Vanauken in ninth place, becoming the official bubble boy of Event #2.

All eight remaining players are now officially in the money, with Vanauken leading the field by a wide margin with a stack of more than 1.8 million.
