After losing a coin flip for half of their stack just a few hands prior, "chen718" found themselves at risk for their tournament life in another coin-flip situation. Once again, they wound up on the wrong end of the coin as the board ran out , leaving their big-slick dry to result in their 23rd-place finish in the tournament.

With 22 players now remaining, two eliminations are needed for play to reach the money. Hand-for-hand play is in effect across the three remaining tables until two more players go bust.

"Core4":

"ghoul" stayed ahead on the flop but saw an unfortunate turn , giving "Core4" top pair and leaving them with one shot at six outs to stay in the tourney. None of them came on the river and they were eliminated from the tournament in 22nd place. Just one elimination is needed to make it into the money, meaning the tournament has reached the direct bubble.
