Players are now being moved to the Pavillion Room in order to play on the feature table. We will be back after the break.
Kennii Nguyen has been the voice of this tournament, so it is a shame to see him bubble the final table. He moved all-in for 242,000 in early position holding 
and Brent Hanks called holding 
. The board ran out 
and Nguyen was out.

Andrew Badecker raised to 43,000 in the cutoff, Ryan Schmidt called in the small blind before Jacob Bazeley made the squeeze from the big blind for 126,000 in total. Both players made the call and we were three way to the flop.
Flop: 
Schmidt checked, Bazeley bet 210,000 and both Badecker and Schmidt folded.
"Squeeze, bet flop and win… I should write a poker book called squeeze, bet flop and win." said Vanessa Selbst.

As soon as we reach the final table of nine players will be on a break. All the chips will be moved to the secondary feature table in the Pavillion Room. There will be live streaming but no commentary.
The short stack, Joseph Cino, has finally been eliminated after surviving on dust for the past few hands. He got it in holding 
against the 
of Jacob Bazeley and the flop of 
turned Bazeley from underdog to superdog. The turn 
and river 
completed the board and Cino was out in 11th place.
Under the gun Michael Kaufman moved all-in and from the small blind Neil Willerson called all-in for 208,000 total. Joseph Cino was in the big blind with just half a big blind behind, but he said it was "too bad" and folded.

Abdyl Konjuhi raised to 37,000 under the gun and Andrew Badecker three-bet to 90,000 in the cutoff. Konjuhi made the call and the pair headed to the flop.
Flop: 
Both players checked.
Turn:
Konjuhi is first to act and he over bet the pot when he made it 245,000. Badecker made the call and this pot was getting serious.
River:
Konjuhi declared that he is all-in and Badecker bit his hand off. He flipped over for the rivered boat and Konjuhi turned over 
for the weaker boat. A huge hand and one that pushes Badecker into serious contention for this bracelet.
Andrew Badecker, 1,480,000
Abdyl Konjuhi, 680,000
Joseph Cino and Richard Park have just played for stacks and what a hand it was. All the money went in pre flop with Cino ahead of Park.
| Park |  |
| Cino | |
The flop of 
gave Cino top set but he was not home and dry just yet. The turn didn't change anything, but the on the river certainly did. Park rivering a straight to push Cino towards the very bottom of the chip counts with a meagre 40,000.
