David Kaufmann raised to 240,000 from under the gun before Felipe Ketzer three-bet to 530,000 from the cutoff. Kaufmann jammed for around 2,500,000 and Ketzer snap-called as the bigger stack.
David Kaufmann: 10♥10♠
Felipe Ketzer: A♥A♣
Ketzer's aces remained best on the J♦4♦5♥5♣2♠ runout and Kaufmann busted on the last hand before break.
Paulius Vaitiekunas pushed his last 170,000 over the line from under the gun. Patrick Bruel called for his last 150,000 from middle position. Felipe Ketzer three-bet to 300,000 from the cutoff for the rest of the table to fold.
"It's us two?" Bruel asked Vaitiekunas.
"No," the whole table confirmed and pointed to Ketzer who laughed.
Patrick Bruel: A♦7♥
Paulius Vaitiekunas: 10♥9♦
Felipe Ketzer: J♦10♦
The flop came 3♦7♣K♦ for Bruel to flop a pair of sevens but for Ketzer to pick up the flush draw while Vaitiekunas needed some more help.
The turn was the 2♦ for Ketzer to complete his flush while the J♠ completed the board on the river. Bruel celebrated for a tiny second but then realized there was a flush.
"Did you already have it?" he wondered, and everyone confirmed the fact once more with smiles on their faces while Bruel left the table together with his rail and Vaitiekunas.
Daniel Dvoress was all-in from the middle position in one of the first hands after the redraw. Denys Chufarin called with the bigger stack from the hijack while the rest folded.
Daniel Dvoress: A♣2♥
Denys Chufarin: 9♥9♦
The board ran out 10♠J♣4♥2♦Q♥ to not help Dvoress in any way as he was eliminated in 24th place for $58,300.

Lou Garza: A♣8♦
The board ran out Q♥3♦3♥K♥10♦ for Jontulovic to turn a pair of kings to stay alive.
Denys Chufarin raised to 240,000 from the hijack and the action folded to Chin Wei Lim in the big blind who three-bet jammed for his last 960,000. Chufarin used at least two time banks before he made the call with the bigger stack.
Chin Wei Lim: 8♣8♦
Denys Chufarin: A♠4♠
The board ran out 4♥4♣6♣7♥9♠ for Chufarin to flop trips and hold on to those to eliminate Lim from the tournament.
Ramiro Petrone shoved from the small blind, and Joe Serock called for his tournament life in the big blind.
Joe Serock: Q♥9♣
Ramiro Petrone: Kx4x
Serock made two pair on the Q♠9♦3♠ flop to be the huge favorite but Petrone went runner-runner on the 4♥ turn and Kx river to make a better two pair to score the elimination.
