the player in the cutoff bet 22,000. Jake Schwartz raised in the cutoff to 97,000.

Aoi Oyama tangled with Matthew Donaldson and flopped the nuts when they got the chips in after the 
turn.
Matthew Donaldson: 
Aoi Oyama: 
The river paired the board but was of no help to Donaldson, who headed to the payout desk.
The action started with a hijack raise to 9,000 by Brett Kimes and Ramin Hajiyev three-bet to 31,000 in the small blind, which Kimes called. Both headed to the 
flop on which Hajiyev bet 26,000. Kimes then moved all-in and was instantly called.
Ramin Hajiyev:
Brett Kimes: 
The 
turn gave Hajiyev the spades flush draw on top but the 
river counterfeited his two pair. Both stacks were counted and Hajiyev had 181,000, which Kimes covered with a stack of 196,000.
MacKenzie Fulton opened from the small blind and Jamie Flynn called from the big blind.
Fulton bet and was called on the flop and the turn on the 
board.
On the 
river, Fulton bet 30,000 and Flynn forced Fulton all-in for his remaining stack of around 70,000.
With the rest of the floor having already halted play, Fulton waited until the floor was called. The floor gave him 30 seconds to make a decision and Fulton eventually called with one second left.
Fulton turned over 
but was beaten as Flynn's 
hit runner-runner trips.
Ziad Alameddine raised on the button to 12,000 and Scott Baumstein three-bet to 52,000 in the small blind. Alameddine four-bet all in for 80,000 effective covering Baumstein.
Baumstein thought for a moment before being heckled by the player to his left who was not in the hand. The floor came to sort the issue and Baumstein was allowed to think about his decision uninterrupted.
Baumstein made the call.
Scott Baumstein: 
Ziad Alameddine:
Baumstein would need some help as his pocket queen were dominated by Alameddine's pocket kings. The help didn't come as the board ran out 
making Baumstein among the four bubble boys.
Close to the money bubble, Dan Ott was eliminated while his twin brother Dillon Ott was still in contention. Once it was determined that one of the brothers had busted just shy of the money, the other walked over to see the bubble madness continue.
One of the last hands ongoing before the action was paused featured a four-bet shove by Ahmed Abdella. His opponent had clicked it back to 45,000 with 18,000 behind and Abdella then quickly jammed. A very reluctant all-in call followed and Abdella tabled his . The short stack at risk had the 
and they chopped it up on the 
board.
With just three spots away from the bubble, the WSOP staff has already told the dealers to wait upon completion of the current hand as they try to verify the number of remaining contenders.
Elio Fox appears to be among the largest stacks in the room and uses his big stack to apply pressure on everybody else on the table. One of them was in the blinds and tanked so long that the clock was called. Thirty seconds ran down and the hand of the short stack was declared dead.
