We just lost an elderly gentleman in 34th place, which means were are now on the money bubble; as such, hand-for-hand play has begun.
Through the first five hands, we haven't had an elimination. If there's a big pot or an elimination, we'll let you know straight away!
After Phil Hellmuth completed with an
, Scott Clements raised his
. That point action on Xuan Liu, who was showing
, and she made the call. Hellmuth did the same and it was three-way action to the turn. Clements fired another bet, both his opponents called, and then it went check-check after Liu took the lead on fifth. This opened the door for Clements to bet for a third time, and again both his opponent called.
Liu kept the lead on sixth, but this time instead of checking she bet. Hellmuth got out of the way and Clements called.
Liu:

Clements:

Hellmuth: (x-x) / 



Little did Liu know that Clements had made a wheel, and she proceeded to bet her last 5,900 on seventh. Clements made the call and took down the pot, eliminating Liu in 33rd place on the money bubble.
