Albert Daher had the bring-in and Paul Volpe completed before Yuebin Guo raised to 16,000. Daher committed his final 21,000 and both Volpe and Guo called.

Volpe bet out on fourth, fifth, and sixth street with Guo calling each time.

Daher: {X-}{X-} / {6-Spades}{8-Spades}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / {X-}
Volpe: {X-}{X-} / {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / {X-}
Guo: {X-}{X-} / {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{A-Hearts} / {X-}

On seventh, Volpe bet 16,000 and Guo called.

Volpe tabled his {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for a rough eight-low and a pair. Guo tabled his {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a pair of nines and a better eight-low.

Daher revealed his {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a worse eight-low than Guo to be eliminated in 29th place while Volpe was left crippled with just 2,000 in chips.

On fourth and fifth, Zhigalov bet and Shack-Harris called.

A final bet on seventh from Shack-Harris was met with a call from Zhigalov.

Shack Harris tabled his {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}{k-Clubs} for a full house, which bested Zhigalov's {3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Sklar's {4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}.

Shack-Harris: {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} / {x-}
