Jacoby:

The tournament is two spots off the money; as such, the tournament director has begun hand-for-hand play. Just two more players need to leave empty-handed to ensure a minimum payday of $794 for the top 63 players.
After Stefano Calenzani Prieto raised from the cutoff, Robert Cicchelli three-bet all in for 56,000 from the big blind. Prieto called and it was off to the races.
Prieto: 
Cicchelli: 
Cicchelli was looking to hold and he did so on the 
flop. The 
turn made things interesting by giving Prieto the better heart flush draw, but the 
river proved to be a safe card for Cicchelli.
Hand-for-hand play continues two off the money.

It took a while for the bubble to burst in Event #3: $500 Black Chip Bounty, but it finally did over at Table 5.
It happened when Russia's Andrey Malinin moved all in for his last approximately 90,000 from middle position and Barry Rosenkranz jammed all in over the top for 103,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and Malinin discovered the bad news.
Malinin: 
Rosenkranz:
Rosenkranz woke up with the granddaddy of all hands and Malinin was in dire straits. The 
flop delivered Rosenkranz top set and left Malinin looking to go runner-runner.
The 
turn kept him drawing live as an eight would complete his gutshot straight draw. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
. Malinin missed and hit the rail in 64th place, thus guaranteeing the remaining63 players at least $794 in prize money.

The turned board read 
and there was around 50,000 in the pot when Arnaldo Gordon checked to an opponent who bet 34,000.
Gordon check-called and the landed on the river. Gordon threw out a relatively small bet of 25,000 and his opponent without hesitation let their hand go, shipping another healthy-sized pot to Gordon who now sits near the top.
