Fedor Holz: Q♠Q♦
The board ran out 6♣2♠A♥A♦6♥ Holz held on with pocket queens to end Arieh's night.
Prior to Arieh's elimination, Jonathan Little was seen leaving the tournament area.

Thomas Muehloecker open-jammed a stack of 510,000 from under the gun and Ivan Deyra called in the next seat before Erik Seidel three-bet jammed in the big blind. Deyra folded to hang onto his remaining 730,000 as Seidel told him "good laydown."
Thomas Muehloecker: 10♣10♦
Erik Seidel: A♠A♣
Muehloecker had run into aces as the board ran out K♥K♠3♦Q♣2♣ to mark his elimination on the soft bubble.

Ryan Riess was forced all in from the big blind and saw a flop of 9♣K♣J♥ three ways before Fedor Holz bet to get things heads-up.
Ryan Riess: 4♠4♣
Fedor Holz: 9♦9♥
"I need running clubs or fours," Riess said glumly. He received neither as the 9♠ turn gave Holz quads before the J♣ river confirmed Riess' elimination on the final table bubble after a lengthy session of hand-for-hand play.
