Three short stacks have been eliminated over on table 22 and two of them fell victim to Gerrit van der Spoel including Alan Jung. It remains unclear if Jung had 9♦9♥ or the other player, but the A♠3♥ of van der Spoel made two pair on the A♣7♠2♦K♥3♣ runout.

"I knew he had fuck all," a shorter stack said after they had just busted to Bruno de Carvalho. Their cards were still exposed, the 2♦2♥, while de Carvalho raked in the pot.
On a board of Q♠Q♣9♠6♠A♣, the K♠8♠ of de Carvalho had turned a flush to reduce the field by one.

The short stacks of Tim Akinnusi and Wesley Blom went into the middle preflop with the former at risk for 35,500 with the K♥K♠. Blom was beaten by a notch and revealed the Q♦Q♣.
There was no drama on the A♣8♥3♥3♠2♦ board and Akinnusi doubled. Blom got very few chips back the next hand when he showed a turned full house with K♥2♠ before then busting with a vocal "player out".

Aidan Jacobs raised to 3,500 and then called a three-bet to 7,000 by Marina Vechirskaya with the 8♥8♣. He check-called the 7♣5♣2♦ flop for 15,000 when Vechirskaya bet her K♠K♦ and the J♣ fell on the turn. Jacobs checked again and Vechirskaya now bet bigger to win the pot uncontested.
