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.
