The remaining 13 players have been sent on a 12-minute break.
Chris Hunichen and Marius Gierse were all in against Jon-Michael Gisler, who had both players covered.
Marius Gierse: 9♠5♥
Chris Hunichen: A♠K♥
Jon-Michael Gisler: A♦Q♣
There would be no side pots to worry about as the board ran out 6♥Q♠3♦Q♥K♦ for a double knockout.
Hunichen was visibility frustrating after earlier losing a big pot to Jesse Lonis after getting it in with the best hand.
"You'll win all the money eventually," Lonis told him.
Manig Loeser was all in against Dan Sepiol a few seats to his left.
Manig Loeser: 8x8x
Dan Sepiol: KxKx
Loeser couldn't pull ahead as the board ran out 9♠10♠A♠4♦4♣ to mark his elimination.
John Riordan was all in with a big stack against David Kim
John Riordan: K♣K♥
David Kim: A♠J♣
After several short-stack doubles on the money bubble, it ended up being a big stack to fall as the board ran out A♣Q♦8♣Q♠4♥ to mark Riordan's elimination.

Chris Hunichen open-jammed in the small blind and Jesse Lonis went in the tank as he considered calling off with his stack of around 25 big blinds. Eventually, he did.
Jesse Lonis: K♣J♠
Chris Hunichen: A♠10♦
Lonis' risky bubble play paid off as the board ran out 6♥9♥J♥2♣8♠ to earn him a double on the money bubble, much to the annoyance of Hunichen.
"How does he always do it?"
"I told you, don't f*** with me," Lonis replied.
The two engaged in some further razzing after the hand.
"How do you wake up with ace-ten there?"
"It doesn't matter when you have king-jack."
Landon Tice was all in as the short stack against Marius Gierse.
Landon Tice: A♥10♦
Marius Gierse: K♥8♥
The flop of 8♣9♥2♥ put Gierse far in front with a pair and flush draw, but the A♠ turn gave Tice the best hand before the 6♦ river bricked off to earn him a double on the money bubble.
