Lei Yu open-raised to 100,000 from middle position, and Wai Kiat Lee called in the cutoff. Alex Anton was in the small blind, squeezing in his stack worth 860,000. Yu called, prompting Lee to move out of the way.
Alex Anton: Q♠Q♦ 
Lei Yu: 6♠6♦
Yu gained no outs on the 2♣5♣8♥5♦ flop and turn, and the 3♣ river officially granted Anton the victory.
Vladimir Alekseev open-jammed for 520,000 under the gun. Felipe Ketzer was on the button, and he called once the action had reached him.
Vladimir Alekseev: 8♠8♦
Felipe Ketzer: A♥Q♦
The flop brought Alekseev bad news; Ketzer paired up on A♣5♦5♣. No eights appeared on either the 7♦ turn or the 2♠ river, and Alekseev gave the table a few friendly knocks before heading to the payout desk.
Evgenii Sboev opened to 100,000 from middle position. Zhuoqun Zhang flat-called in the hijack, and Yernur Kurbanov defended his big blind.
Kurbanov checked to Sboev on the A♣9♠6♥ flop, and he continued for 90,000. Zhang called, but Kurbanov risked it all by moving all in for 615,000. Sboev then rejammed, and Zhang quickly vacated the pot.
Yernur Kurbanov: A♥J♣
Evgenii Sboev: A♠9♣
The 2♠ turn prevented any counterfeits, and the 8♣ river remained clean for Sboev's two pair. Kurbanov tapped the table before he exited the tournament area, becoming the official bubble boy.
The 159 remaining players were all in the money, and play continued as normal.
Benedek Farkas opened to 105,000 from early position. Marcelo Aziz flicked in a small three-bet to 225,000 as next to act, after which it folded back to Farkas.
Farkas decided to ship in his stack of 740,000, and he was snapped off by Aziz.
Benedek Farkas: 10♥10♦
Marcelo Aziz: A♠A♣
Farkas stood up when Aziz flopped top set on A♦7♣4♦. The 6♠ turn left Farkas without outs, and he had already left the table by the time the 2♦ arrived on the river.
Farkas won the $10k 7-handed event just a few days ago, but would not be adding another cash in the Main Event. His elimination left 160 players, meaning the field had arrived on the stone bubble.
Triton ONE Player of the Year leader Jon Vallinas Santos raised to 125,000 from the cutoff. Seunghyuk Jung then three-bet to 275,000 on the button, and Vallinas responded with a four-bet to 1,000,000.
Not to be outdone, Jung jammed all in. Vallinas had left himself 300,000 behind, and he quickly called, putting himself at risk.
Jon Vallinas Santos: A♣Q♦
Seunghyuk Jung: J♥J♦
Jung remained ahead on the 3♣7♣3♥ flop, but some sighs were heard around the room as Vallinas hit the A♥ turn. His pair of aces remained best on the 2♦ river, and a smile appeared on his face as he doubled up.
Meanwhile, Jung, who had been calmly filming, was left with just over five big blinds on the bubble.
With 161 players remaining, the floor has announced that the tournament will proceed hand for hand until the bubble has burst.
It folded to table chipleader Danilo Velasevic, and he moved all in from the small blind. Big blind Thore Boedefeld called for his stack of 570,000, and the cards were tabled.
Thore Boedefeld: K♥K♣
Danilo Velasevic: 10♠4♦
Velasevic flopped a gutshot on A♣5♣3♦ and gained some more outs on the 6♣ turn. However, the 9♥ river remained safe for Boedefeld's kings, so he doubled up.
