There are currently 130 players left standing, which means they are now two away from the money and the Tournament Director has initiated hand-for-hand play.
The cutoff opened to 12,000 before Adam Miller jammed for 190,000 from the button. Rakesh Bedi called off his 172,000 stack from the big blind and the cutoff folded.
Rakesh Bedi: A♥A♣
Adam Miller: K♠K♦
The BetMGM Qualifier woke up with aces at the perfect time and doubled up following the 9♠8♦7♥J♣6♣ runout.
The following hand, Adam Miller moved all in for his last 18,000 and Danny DeJesus called from the big blind.
Adam Miller: A♥J♠
Danny DeJesus: 9x8x
Dejesus became the huge favorite after the 9♥8♣6♥ flop but Miller went runner-runner on the Q♣ turn and 10♥ river to make a straight and survive.

On the river 3♥, Wang decided to check and Navarro quickly checked back. Wang then tabled K♣10♣ for aces with king-high while Navarro proudly flipped over J♠10♠ for two pair, aces and jacks to win the huge pot.
"Wow, nice call," a tablemate said to Navarro as he raked in the mountain of chips.

On a heads-up turn of A♣J♣4♥8♦, Adrian Buckley bet 55,000 after a check from his opponent, Kyriakos Papadopoulos.
Papadopoulos thought for a second, then made the call to see the 9♥ appear on the river and he checked once more.
Buckley then announced he was all in, covering Papadopoulos who went into the tank. After using one of his time banks, Papadopoulos made the call and tabled A♦Q♥ for top pair, top kicker. He was then shown J♠J♦ by Buckley for a flopped set of jacks to take the pot and Papadopoulos was eliminated just a few spots away from the money.
