Leading the way from Day 1e is Michael Hubbard who accumulated 505,000 chips throughout the day. In second place is the man who burst the bubble, Douglas Dossett, with 457,000. Rounding out the podium in third is Lucy Lamperouge who kept her stack on a yo-yo all day but finished with 399,000.

On the first hand of hand-for-hand, a player opened from under the gun before Douglas Dossett jamemd for 220,000 from middle position. On the button, Pat Lyons announced "Gamble," and called all-in for 200,000.
Pat Lyons: 10♠10♦
Douglas Dossett: A♠A♣
Lyons needed help to stay alive and did not find any on the J♥6♣2♣8♦8♣ runout as he hit the exit on the stone bubble.
With 18 players remaining and 17 being in the money, play will continue hand-for-hand at two tables until another player is eliminated.
Action was picked up with the cards on their backs as the hijack was all-in for 80,000 against Luis Mendoza from middle position.
Hijack: K♥K♦
Luis Mendoza: A♦A♣
It was an unavoidable cooler between the two best starting hands. However, the K♣9♣8♣ flop gave the hijack top set to pull into the lead, but Mendoza had the ace of clubs. The 2♠ turn changed nothing until the 6♣ river gave Mendoza the nut flush to bring the field to its final 19.
Level: 14
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
Action was picked up with the cards on their backs as Tingwei Wang was all-in for 90,000 from middle position against the covering stack of Pat Lyons in the cutoff.
Tingwei Wang: Q♦Q♣
Pat Lyons: A♦K♠
Lyons needed to improve to knockout his opponent and he found help on the A♥J♥2♠ flop. Nothing changed on the 4♥5♣ runout as Lyons padded his already-healthy stack.
A player moved all-in under the gun for 28,000 and William Murray looked him up from the hijack.
Under the Gun: 7♠7♥
William Murray: A♥9♥
It was a coinflip until the A♦10♣5♦ flop vaulted Murray into the lead. He filled up on the 10♠A♠ runout as the field has been reduced to 25.
