Shahram Rastegari jammed for 77,500 from the hijack and was called by Yurii Oliinyk on his direct left.
Rastegari tabled J♣9♣ and was up against A♠Q♠.
The A♣K♦10♣ flop kept Oliinyk ahead but Rastegari had a flush draw. The 10♥ changed nothing but the 3♣ river ensured Rastegari's survival.
Patrick Clarke moved all in for around 40,000 from the big blind and Yanis Avanesyan called in middle position.
Patrick Clarke: A♦K♦ 
Yanis Avanesyan: Q♦Q♥
Clarke was racing for his tournament life but was left nearly drawing dead following the 5♣Q♣5♦ flop as Avanesyan made a full house. The A♣ turn gave him some outs, but the river was the 3♥ and Clarke was sent to the rail.
The action has reached a snail's pace with the bubble approaching. As it stands, 62 remain, with play stopping when 58 are left.

Yurii Oliinyk bet 10,000 from the hijack on a flop of J♠4♠2♠ and Antonino Venneri raised to 20,000 on the button. Oliinyk then moved all in for 75,000 and Venneri called.
Yurii Oliinyk: Q♠8♠
Antonino Venneri: K♠J♣
Oliinyk had flopped a flush against Venneri's top pair and king-high flush draw, and the J♦ turn gave Venneri some outs to a full house. The river was the 7♣ and Oliinyk held on to double up.
Juan Gozalo Ares raised to 9,000 in middle position and Hicham Hachoumi called in the hijack. Laurent Polito then three-bet to 33,000 on the button.
Ares folded, but Hachoumi four-bet to 65,000. Polito then moved all in and Hachoumi snap-called for around 110,000.
Hicham Hachoumi: A♠A♣
Laurent Polito: K♠3♣
Polito was caught making a move as Hachoumi showed down aces. The flop came 7♠A♥6♥ and Hachoumi improved to top set to take a big lead in the pot.
The turn was the 5♥, while the river was the 4♣ and a collective gasp arose from the table as Polito made a running straight. A stunned Hachoumi shot out of his seat before making his exit a few spots short of the money.
Fabrice Bigot moved all in for around 40,000 from under the gun and Silviu Nemes called in the hijack.
Fabrice Bigot: Q♥J♥
Silviu Nemes: A♥K♦
The K♥Q♠10♠ flop gave both players a pair, but Nemes was ahead with his kings. The rest of the board came 8♠7♥ and Bigot couldn't improve on his way to the rail.
Stephanie Bobin was already all in on an extreme short stack as Gabi Livshitz and Stefano Coletti built a side pot of 25,000 heading to the river on a board of 4♦K♦3♥4♥J♦.
Livshitz then moved all in from the small blind and Coletti, in middle position with around 50,000 left, open-folded K♠Q♦. Livshitz showed 5♥3♦ for two pair, while Bobin also had K♣Q♥ as she tripled up.
"Nice play. I put you on a four," Coletti told Livshitz.
The next hand, Mihai Niste raised to 8,000 under the gun, Coletti moved all in from early position, and Niste called.
Stefano Coletti: Q♦J♥
Mihai Niste: A♦K♣
"I'm live, at least," Coletti said as the flop came K♦8♦A♣ to give Niste two pair. "Not anymore," he added.
Niste improved to a full house on the K♠ turn, while the river was the 8♠ and Coletti was eliminated.
