With the stone bubble approaching, the tournament director stopped the clock to break a table. Four eliminations are needed to reach the money.
The pot had already swelled to 200,000 with two players looking at a flop of 10♦7♥10♥.
Alexandre Peich, in the hijack, bet out for 80,000. The cutoff made the call.
The 4♠ turn saw Peich move all in, putting the cutoff to the test for their effective stack of approximately 350,000. The cutoff looked pained by their decision before finally folding.
As he raked in the pot, Peich flashed K♥J♦ to the table, having used the pressure of the bubble to take down this pot.
