Rheem was pipped and couldn't pull ahead as the board ran out 68K24 to mark his elimination on the final table bubble.

Shannon Shorr

Jeremy Ausmus was heading for the door as short stack Shannon Shorr yelled "Jeremy, you're going to Summerlin, right? Wait a sec!" before betting most of his stack of 250,000.

Filipp Khavin then three-bet jammed as Shorr called off to be at risk. "Let's see if I can play this as good as Darren."

Shannon Shorr: 88 All in
Filipp Khavin: KK

Shorr couldn't hit a set like Elias as the board ran out J4224 to mark the three-time bracelet winner and recent Event #6 runner-up's elimination on the money bubble.

Jeremy Ausmus was all in against Darren Elias across the table on the soft money bubble.

Jeremy Ausmus: JJ All in
Darren Elias: 88

Ausmus was in great shape until the flop landed 8Q7 to give Elias a set, and the runout of A2 confirmed Ausmus' elimination on the soft money bubble.

"Safe drive, buddy," Elias told a lightly amused Ausmus.
