| Seat | Player |
|---|---|
| 1 | Thomas Pettersson |
| 2 | Jon Hoellein |
| 3 | Scott Stanko |
| 4 | Romik Vartzar |
| 5 | Austin Scott |
| 6 | Vadzim Kursevich |
| 7 | Tom Chambers |
| 8 | Brett Richey |
| 9 | Dutch Boyd |
| 10 | Khiem Nguyen |
Just moments after busting Oleksii Kovalchuk in 12th place, Vadzim Kursevich had bracelet winner Robert Williamson III on the ropes. Kursevich held the 
against the at-risk Williamson's 
.
The flop was all Kursevich needed as the fell and gave him a full house. The turn 
and river 
officially eliminated Williamson from the tournament.
The final 10 players will now redraw to one table for the "unofficial" final table. The redraw will be posted shortly.
