60 players remain as we resume the final level of the day, however Sherif Derias and Paul Marberg are just two of the players who will have to weigh up the pros and cons of playing tomorrow's repechage flight.

Derias was the first to go after moving all in holding {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, only to be taken out by Trevor Henry who held {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} to have a better two pair on a board of {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

Paul Marberg was eliminated soon after when Jie Gao's {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} hit a set on a board that read {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}, which crushed Marberg's {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}.

As a result, Henry moves up to 110,000 while Gao also stays amongst the top cats with 108,000.
