The remaining 29 players are heading on a 15-minute break.
Hao Tian shoved the cutoff for 660,000 and Aliaksei Boika also moved all in from the button for around 1,300,000.
Hao Tian: A♠5♠
Aliaksei Boika: 9♥9♣
Tian had already escaped with ace-five earlier in the day, but lightning didn't strike twice as the K♦2♦4♣2♣6♣ runout kept the pocket nines of Boika in the lead.
Just before, Daniel Rezaei also hit the rail.

When it folded to Morten Klein in the small blind, he jammed for around 500,000 with just Jesse Lonis to get through in the big blind. Lonis peeked at his cards and then made the call with slightly more chips than Klein.
Morten Klein: Q♥8♥
Jesse Lonis: A♥10♠
Lonis was ahead, but Klein had two live cards working in his favor. The flop of 9♥A♠J♥ gave Lonis top pair, while Klein picked up a straight flush draw. A 4♣ turn didn't help Klein, and neither did the J♠ river.
Klein wished the table good luck, as all of his chips were absorbed into Lonis' stack.
just before Klein's departure, Mikita Badziakouski was seen exiting the tournament area as he had been eliminated.

Salah Assi opened the cutoff to 100,000 and Adrian Strobel three-bet the button to 360,000. When it got back to Assi, he called.
They saw a flop of 7♠8♥3♦, where Assi decided to lead out for 125,000. Strobel then shoved, 1,025,000 and Assi quickly folded.

Markkos Ladev shoved for 230,000 from the hijack after the money bubble burst and he was put at risk by Kayhan Mokri in the small blind.
Markkos Ladev: A♠2♠
Kayhan Mokri: K♥Q♠
Ladev was ahead, and despite the 10♥6♠10♠ flop giving him a flush draw, he was already wishing his tablemates good luck. Mokri joined in and said "good game", but the 2♥ turn didn't change anything.
However, Ladev seemed to know what was coming and the Q♦ river did send him home in 34th, the first spot in in the money.

The remaining 34 players are all in the money, following two simultaneous eliminations.
First, Artur Martirosian raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and Christopher Puetz jammed for 590,000 out of the big blind. Martirosian snap-called.
Christopher Puetz: K♥Q♥
Artur Martirosian: A♠K♠
Puetz needed to find a queen or he would be leaving the tournament empty-handed. The runout of K♦6♥6♣4♣10♠ gave both players a pair of kings, but Martirosian's ace-kicker played, and Puetz was out.
At another table, Manuel Fritz opened from middle position and Ottomar Ladva jammed for around 1,200,000 from the button. Once the blinds folded, Fritz called to put Ladva at risk.
Ottomar Ladva: A♣K♦
Manuel Fritz: Q♠Q♦
With the crowd around the table, the dealer put out a flop of 3♥2♥J♠, keeping the Ladies of Fritz in the lead. Ladva was unable to find any help on the J♥ turn or Q♣ river as Fritz improved to a boat.
Ladva joined Puetz on the rail, and the remaining players had all locked up at least $43,000.

Kayhan Mokri opened from under the gun and Roman Stoika shoved for 800,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Mokri, he called for his remaining 480,000.
Kayhan Mokri: A♣Q♣
Roman Stoika: A♠K♣
Mokri was in rough shape, and it didn't get much better on the 10♣4♥A♥ flop. A 9♦ on the turn left him with just three outs, but three outs was all he needed as the Q♠ rolled off on the river to give him two pair.
