Roberto Stamerra opened to 115,000 from the button only to have Alexander Kuzmin make it 171,000 from the big blind.
Stamerra committed his last 50,000 and we were off to a showdown.
Stamerra: 
Kuzmin: 
The board ran out 
to see Stamerra eliminated in 19th place.
Mihai Manole has bust another player; Sean Prendiville was the recipient of his wrath and consequently departs in 20th. Manole, meanwhile, now boasts more chips than the Lay's factory with just over two million.
Jonathan Spinks opened from the cutoff for 35,000 and Manuel Cadilhe defended his big blind.
The flop fell down 
and following a Cadilhe check, Spinks fired out 55,000.
Cadilhe made the call before both players checked the 
on the turn and on the river to see Cadilhe table his 
to collect the pot and move to 590,000 as Spinks slips to 680,000.
We're witnessing more doubles than the Bad Beat Bar now as Justin Zaki emulates the success of fellow short stack David Ventura with a double up of his own. Michael Linn was once again the victim, his open from the cut-off reraised all in on the button by Zaki. Ventura made the call and the hole cards were revealed.
Zaki: 
Linn:
Board: 
Linn loses another pot and is down to 1,240,000, whilst Zaki increases his stack two-fold to 500,000.
With just 53,000, David Ventura was the shortest stack heading into the final day, but from the small acorns, mighty trees grow, and Ventura's stack is already showing sign of growth.
The opponent looking to deroot him from the tournament was the man who started the day as a giant redwood, Michael Linn. With Ventura pushing all in from late position with 
, Linn made the call in the big blind and flipped 
onto the felt.
The board, however, favored Ventura, the dealer laying out an 
board and awarding the short stack the pot with the turned straight. Consequently, Ventura is now up to 150,000, but still short.
Sean Prendiville opened to 36,000 only to have Taylor Larkin three-bet to 95,000 next to act. Prendiville then moved all in and Larkin made the call for his 537,000 total.
Prendiville: 
Larkin: 
The 
flop left Larkin in great shape to double, but when the landed on the turn, he would have to fade the board pairing to remain alive.
Fortunately for Larkin the river fell the to see him double through to just under 1,100,000 as Prendiville slips to just 73,000 in chips.
Players rising from their seat signified a big hand, and when we arrived it was cards on their back with a shorter stacked Elliott Harrah all in with 
on a 
flop versus the 
of Mihai Manole. The turn and 
river were both blanks and Harrah hit the rail. Manole, meanwhile, is now your new chip leader with 1,780,000.
Mihai Manole opened to 31,000 from the cutoff only to have Anthony Spinella three-bet to 100,000 from the button.
Manole made the call as the 
flop fell down and Manole checked it over to Spinella who fired out 100,000. Manole made the call to see the peel on the turn, an he check the action again.
After pausing for a few minutes to deliberate, Spinella moved all in for 205,000 and was double-fist-pump-snap called by Manole.
Spinella: 
Manole:
"What the f**k!" screamed Spinella as he just left the table without waiting for his payout slip.
The meaningless 
landed on the river and Manole raked in the pot to move to 1,780,000 in chips.
Just spotted Jonathan Spinks mucking on the river of an 
board after being shown . The pot cost Spinks around 100,000. "Bad start," he mumbled to himself.
