All other tables had finished the action and most players were gone into the break. Svein Jorgen Kristensen and Aaron Lim were still at it though and the Norwegian tried to buy a pot with a bet of 32,000 on the river. Lim didn't buy the story though, he made the call with the and was good.
The action reached to Frederick Hernandez and he open-shoved the small blind to put Ashley Tay at risk. The latter made the call for his last 40,500 and then both waited for all other tables to finish, making jokes and laughing a lot.
Hernandez:
Tay:
The flop was a sweat for both players with the gutshot and the flush draw. The turn changed nothing whatsoever while the river secured the double up for Tay. Dealers, one more hand please.
On the stone-cold bubble, Manuel Blaschke four-bet shoved from early position for 129,000 and enforced a fold.

Mike Kim had made the call with the but the board ran out in favor of the short stack.

The cards were almost rushed away but it turned out that Alex Ward had shoved his short stack from early position with pocket eights and Aaron Lim looked him up with pocket nines. There were two aces and sevens on the board, but no help for Ward. Only three players to go until the money!
The preflop action is amiss, but on the flop, Jessie Leonarez invested 30,000 chips and Mital Chandihok moved all in. Leonarez asked to pull the chips in to see how much more it was to call and it would have been basically for his tournament life with more than average stack behind.
Leonarez then asked the dealer to call the clock on him and eventually mucked with 15 seconds to go. Chandihok flashed the and shot a "play poker, boys" towards his opponent. He pointed with the fingers towards the cards and said it was his favorite hand, also claiming that he hadn't hit a flush yet today.
