. Perez's aces helped him double his stack to around 272,000 while Falk is now down to 67,000.
Joseph Zeman's only move during this final table thus far has been moving all in, as he has been nursing the short stack. Zeman moved in once again from the cutoff for 43,000 and this time was called by Daniel Quach from the small blind. Quach flipped over 
but was behind Zeman's . The flop came 
, putting Zeman way out in the lead. The 
turned rendering the that fell on the river irrelevant. This hand brought Zeman up to 105,000 and knocked Quach down to 175,000.
