Elias Gone
During bubble play, Darren Elias opened to 32,000 from middle position only to see David Lackey three-bet to 90,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way to send the action back to Elias who called to see a flop.
Elias checked on the 
flop and Lackey continued for 55,000. That bet alone was not enough to get Elias off of his hand as he called to send the two players to the turn.
Action checked through the 
turn to the 
river at which point Elias checked for a third time. Lackey responded by pushing 225,000 into the middle, a bet that accounted for most of Elias' stack. Despite that fact, it did not take long for Elias to call but he mucked after Lackey turned over 
for the full house, leaving Elias crippled. Though he was able to squeak into the money, Elias was eliminated shortly after.
Elsewhere, Sung Lee and start of day chipleader Benjamin Foster were seen exiting the tournament area.

river completed the board to give Frutchey a double very close to the money bubble.

turn at which point Su led out for 30,000. Elias released his holding while Lackey called to send action heads-up to the river. 
river paired the board but that did not slow down Su who pushed 85,000 into the middle, representing a significant portion of his remaining stack. Lackey thought for some time before moving all in, eliciting a quick fold from Su.
flop and he continued for 50,000. That got a fold from the button player but the big blind responded by check-raising to 112,000. Nguyen, after some time, opted to flat.
