Two More Bust

Michael Ian Black shoved for just over 20,000 on a completed board of {10-Spades}{k-Spades}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, barely covering Nelson Figueroa. Figueroa called with {k-}{q-} but was no good against {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

Just after that, Douglas Costa busted "shlongters."

Felix Schneiders Sends Macaulay Culkin Back Home Alone

With the blinds at 1,000/2,000/200, Macaulay Culkin raised to 10,000 under the gun and Felix Schneiders three-bet jammed from the small blind. Culkin called off the 15,290 he had behind.

Felix Schneiders: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Macaulay Culkin: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

It was a flip but Culkin had to improve to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the board ran out {4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. With that, Culkin hit the rail in 21st place.

Culkin Back in it

Felix Schneiders raised to 3,000 first to act and was called by Bryan Cranston before Macaulay Culkin shoved for 5,430, all he had left after losing a huge pot to Casey Affleck.

Both of the first two called and checked down {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} until Cranston's min-bet caused a fold. He only had {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}, however, not enough against Culkin's {j-Spades}{9-Spades}.

"MusicTohi" the First to Fall

The first player to fall in the finale was "MusicTohi," who fell to Nick Walsh.

It happened when "MusicTohi" made two pair sevens and threes only to have Walsh finish with eights and sevens.

Just for making the final, $10,000 will be donated to charity on behalf of "MusicTohi."

Macaulay Culkin Back Over Starting Stack

With the blinds at 500/1,000/100, David Costabile, who played Gale Boetticher in Breaking Bad as well as Wags on Billions, opened for 2,400 under the gun and his former co-star Bryan Cranston called from the small blind. Home Alone's Macaulay Culkin then three-bet to 7,200 from the big blind, both his opponents called, and the flop came down {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

Cranston checked, Culkin continued for 12,000, and that did the trick as both Costabile and Cranston folded.
