Steve Billirakis defended his big blind against a button raise by Andrew Paterson and found the 
flop, where he check-called 12,000. Both then checked the 
turn and the 
completed the board. Billirakis bet 33,000 and Paterson called to muck when shown 
for the full house.
Mark Johnson, in the big blind, check-called a flop bet from Brandon Shack-Harris on the button after 
hit the board. Johnson check-called 26,000 on the 
turn, and a 
finished out a board full of possibilities. Johnson fired out 45,000, and Shack-Harris made the call with 
for an underfull. Johnson mucked his hand.
Split luck for the two of the Europeans still in. Peter Charalambous admitted to "have gambled" after repotting an open raise from Allan Le in the cutoff to 34,500 with another 5,000 behind. Le called to see the 
flop and Charalambous moved all in with 
. Le called with 
for top pair and the gut shot and also stayed ahead on the 
turn. The 
river however completed the flush for the Brit and he doubled up.
John O'Shea raised the button to 9,000 and got two callers in the blinds. On the 
flop the action was checked through, the big blind bet the turn for 10,000 and only O'Shea called. We then saw the 
river complete the board and the big blind got paid off for 11,000 when showing 
for a boat.
Gabriel Nassif shoved over a raise with 
and found himself against 
. His opponent flopped an ace and turned trips, leaving Nassif drawing dead.
Raymond Di Donato opened from under the gun to 14,000 and only had about 30,000 behind. The action folded all the way to Brandon Shack-Harris in the big blind and he raised pot to get the short stack all in. Di Donato called with 
and was unable to overcome the pocket kings of Shack-Harris, the latter in fact turned a full house.
Joe Munro opened for a raise and got repotted by Loren Klein. Munro called off his stack and failed to catch Klein's aces despite flopping a pair and a flush draw.
Jason Rosenberg was eliminated in 27th place before the three-table redraw could occur, so here are how the final 26 players are now seated.
