Action folded around to Zaen Qatan on the button who opened to 160,000. The small blind folded before Carlton Fitzgerald called out of the big blind to see a flop of 7♥4♠4♦.
Fitzgerald open-shoved for around 300,000 and Qatan snap-called to put Fitzgerald at risk.
Carlton Fitzgerald: K♦8♣
Zaen Qatan: A♦A♥
The turn and river of 9♣ and K♥ weren't enough for Fitzgerald to come from behind and he was sent to the rail in 13th place for $3,583.

Facing a raise in late position from Zaen Qatan, James Urbanic three-bet from the small blind. Zaen Qatan then went all in for just under 2,000,000 in chips, which was quickly called by Urbanic.
Zaen Qatan: A♦K♣
James Urbanic: A♥A♠
Urbanic preemptively celebrated but did, indeed, have to sweat the board when the flop rolled the K♣8♣J♦.
However, the 6♣ on the turn and the 9♥ on the river catapult him into contention for the chiplead.
Zaen Qatan had the run of his life and did his best to remind PokerNews of his Iraqi heritage, proud that he could share this run with his family.

On a board of A♥2♥7♠8♠K♦, James Urbanic bet enough to put Michael McFadden all in, sending McFadden deep into the tank. Eventually, he decided to call it off for his tournament life and Urbanic announced, "Top two." with the A♠K♠.
McFadden knuckled the table and turned up the A♦6♥ and was sent to the rail in 11th place for $4,477 as Urbanic secures the chip lead headed into the final table.

Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
James Urbanic opened from early position to 200,000. Action folded around to Bruce Jiang in the cutoff who three-bet shoved for his remaining 1,100,000. Action folded back to Urbanic who called to create our first at risk player of the final table.
Bruce Jiang: 7♦7♣
James Urbanic: 9♣9♠
The flop of 5♠6♣6♦ was clean for Urbanic as was the 10♣, but the dealer burned and turned the 7♥ on the river and Jiang came from behind to secure a full double.
