Traian Stanciu opened his button to 160,000 and snap-called when Filippo Ragone jammed all in for 1,280,000 from the big blind.
Filippo Ragone: K♥10♦ 
Traian Stanciu: K♦K♣
Ragone flopped some backdoors on 3♥A♥5♠, but the 2♠ turn left him drawing to a chop. The 10♣ river did not bring a wheel on the board, eliminating Ragone in tenth as the bubble boy of the unofficial final table.
The remaining nine players are going on a 20-minute break before the final table begins.
