Evan Schwartz raised to 16,000 from middle position and Matthew Hyman re-raised all in for 100,000 right behind him. Schwartz called and was happy to see Hyman show {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} because he held {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. He wasn't happy about a {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and the {5-Hearts} on the turn brought no help either, but Schwartz was redeemed when the turn brought a {10-Clubs}, giving him a Broadway straight to eliminate Hyman from the tournament.

A short-stacked Michael Dolan open-shoved all in for approximately 38,000 in chips and Damien Oborne immediately raised behind him, forcing all other potential opponents out of the pot.

Dolan: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Oborne: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The hand was settled straight away, as the flop came {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs} giving Dolan the nut flush. The turn and river filled out {A-Diamonds}, {8-Spades} locking things up for Dolan, who stacked up just over 80,000 in chips with the win. After the hand, Oborne was left with a still-manageable 145,000.

Michael Dolan raised to 20,000 from middle position and after Damien Oborne called on the button, Michael Pickett re-raised all in for 98,500 total. Dolan, who was covered by Pickett, made the call and Oborne folded.

Dolan showed {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Pickett had {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The board came {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{K-Spades} and Dolan was eliminated, earning $9,895 for his 14th-place finish.

Action folded around to Sang Hwang in the small blind and he raised all in for his last 43,000 chips. Damien Oborne called the all in from the big blind.

Hwang showed {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Damien showed his love for suited connectors, tabling {10-Spades}{9-Spades}. Oborne flopped an open-ended straight draw on the {8-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{2-Spades} board but it was the {10-Hearts} on the turn that gave him a pair and the winning hand when the {5-Clubs} failed to improve Hwang's hand.

Caillier took home $11,309 in prize money for his 12th-place finish. Watkinson stacked up just under 400,000 in chips with the win.
