Now that we're down to one table, the players don't seem to mind picking up the action. The third hand of the final table was played multi-way, with Nick Schulman opening to 30,000 and being called by both blinds, Vince Musso and John Juanda.

On the draw, Musso took one, Juanda took two, and Schulman took one.

Musso and Juanda checked it to Schulman after the draw was complete. He took his time to count out a bet of 90,000 that was enough to win the pot.

Michael Binger opened from early position, all in for 56,000. John Juanda called.

"Wow," mouthed Binger two times. He seemed to have a tough decision, finally electing to draw two. Juanda was pat on a 10-8-6-4-2. Binger opened 9-7-2 and caught two bricks, a nine and a king, to finish with 9-9-K-7-2. Binger played one hand at the collapsed final table before being eliminated. He earns $24,545.
