We didn't see whether he open-shoved or if he four-bet shoved his 61,500 chips into the middle, but either way, Travis Allen was all in before the flop with 
. Sergey Lebedev woke up with 
in the big blind, and Allen was drawing slim.
The dealer wouldn't give him any lifeline on a board of 
, and Allen is out of chips. Lebedev does the deed, moving himself up to 215,000 chips with that knockout.
Alexander Kravchenko's final hand, unlike so many of the other eliminations occurring at this stage of the tournament, actually went to a flop. Kravchenko opened for 10,500 pre-flop from the cutoff. Akenhead, next to act, bumped it to 27,000 and Kravchenko called.
Kravchenko checked an ace-high flop, 
. Akenhead fired out a bet of 28,500, then was put to a decision when Kravchenko raised all in for about 100,000 total. After spending some time carefully considering his decision (as has become his trademark), Akenhead called with a pair of aces, 
. Kravchenko showed a pair of queens, , and did not improve on the turn or 
river. He's now out of the tournament and sweating the $1,500 no-limit hold'em final table from the rail. Akenhead, meanwhile, is up to 330,000 in chips.
Joe Tehan is out. He got into a pre-flop raising war with Jim Collopy that ended with Tehan all in. Tehan's 
needed help against Collopy's 
. Although neither player connected with an all-small flop of 
, the hand ended up being a "suck, re-suck" sort of hand when Tehan turned a pair of queens, , and then Collopy rivered a set, 
.
Collopy now has about 215,000 in chips.
We picked up the action on the flop of as Florian Langmann was checking to David Singer, his heads-up opponent. Singer bet 12,000 and Langmann called to see the 
turn. Singer made it 33,000 to go, Langmann moved all in, and Singer instantly called to put himself all in for a total of 106,300.
Langmann turned up his 
, but two pair was no good. Singer tabled 
, having turned the nuts, Broadway. Langmann needed to fill up to tally the knockout, but the river secured Singer's double up, moving up back to 240,000.
Langmann - 117,000
Zsombor Gall delivered a bad beat that we suspect Steve Karp is going to remember for quite a while. Gall opened for 8,800 from middle position pre-flop and was called by small blind Daniel Buzgon. Karp, sitting in the big blind, then re-raised all in for 33,500. Only Gall called, and he didn't table the best hand in 
. Karp must have felt confident with his . But a flop of 
gave Gall a king-high straight, and by the time the hit the turn, Karp was drawing dead.
Dan O'Brien got himself all in with ace-king before the flop, hunting for another double up at the hands of Frank Rusnak and his 
.
O'Brien flopped his pair, but Rusnak ran down a king-high straight on fourth street to scoop the pot. That moves him up to 175,000 and O'Brien down to 0, the latter finally running out of chips after a two-day war with his short stack.
Level: 16
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 500
Life's a little better for Will "the Thrill" Failla. He raised all in for 56,500 after Jim Collopy opened the pot for 7,500. It wasn't Collopy who took Failla on, however. It was button player Kirill Rabstov, who moved all in over the top of Failla for about 115,000. Rabstov's pocket tens were no match for Failla's pocket aces. After a board of 
, Failla pushed forward his stack so that the dealer could count it down in preparation for a double-up. Failla's stack instantly doubled to about 128,000. Rabtsov slipped down to 59,000, which isn't yet a cause to panic, but certainly not a robust amount at this stage.

All of the community cards were out, 
. Joseph Kuether moved all in against Ishak Noyan, covering Noyan and putting him to a difficult decision. A clock was eventually called, with time ticking almost all the way down before Noyan called. It was a great call. His 
bested Kuether's unimproved 
to collect the pot and double up. Noyan now has 180,000, while Kuether is on a short-stacked 50,000.
