Glenda Ricci moved all in from the hijack and was at risk when Rick Stickles shoved his larger stack on the button.
Glenda Ricci: A♦10♣ 
Rick Stickles: K♣K♦
Ricci found a pair on the 2♣10♠J♠ flop, but was unable to further improve on the J♣ turn or 2♥ river to end her run in 13th position.
Level: 14
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 80,000
Maria Swift moved all in for 215,000 from early position and action folded around to Chris Nichol, who called from the big blind.
Maria Swift: Q♦10♠
Chris Nichol: K♥J♠
Swift had two live cards and needed to improve to stay alive. Unfortunately for her, that proved easier said than done as the board ran out 9♥8♠5♦8♦A♥.
Tom Walsh got his last 135,000 all in preflop and was at risk against both Chris Nichol and Slade Edmonds, who checked both the Q♥5♦4♠ and J♠ turn.
When the K♣ completed the board on the river, Edmonds bet 300,000 from the big blind and Nichol folded his A♥J♥.
Tom Walsh: A♠9♠
Slade Edmonds: 10♣9♦
Edmonds had rivered a straight to win the pot and send Walsh to the rail in 15th place.
A double elimination on the bubble means that two players will split the $200 slated for the 16th spot.
At the feature table, Slade Edmonds moved all in from middle position and John Foley called off from the cutoff. The rest of the players folded and the hands were turned up.
John Foley: A♥Q♣
Slade Edmonds: A♠6♠
Foley had the better ace but the 9♣7♥6♣ flop paired Edmonds. Neither the K♣ turn nor 10♠ river changed a thing and Foley was eliminated.
At the other table, Al Mercier moved his short stack all in on the button and found a quick call from Linda Rodrigues in the small blind.
Al Mercier: Q♣J♦
Linda Rodrigues: A♠A♣
The pocket aces of Rodrigues were never threatened on the 5♥2♦7♣9♦6♦ runout, as Mercier was sent to the rail.
As the shorter stack, Foley officially finishes in 17th place while Mercier will be 16th.

The final 17 players have been sent on a short break to set up the last two tables.
Play will resume hand-for-hand on the bubble, with 16 players making the money.
Linda Rodrigues opened from under the gun and snap-called after Les Mildenberg moved all in from the big blind.
Les Mildenberg: K♣K♥
Linda Rodrigues: A♠A♣
Mildenberg's kings were second best to the aces of Rodrigues, and the 3♦2♦Q♥2♣2♥ saw both players improve to a full house.
Rodrigues raked in the pot, as Mildenberg was sent to the rail.
Jonathan Dwinell got his last 100,000 or so all in preflop and was at-risk against Dylan Major.
Jonathan Dwinell: K♣9♣
Dylan Major: J♥10♦
The 9♠10♥Q♦ flop hit both players, but as it was Major took the lead with a pair of tens. The Q♣ turn changed nothing, and while the K♠ river improved Dwinell to top two pair, it was no good as Major improved to a straight.
"At least it's going to a good guy," Dwinell said while reaching over to shake Major's hand. "Win it for me."
