The 8♥ turn saw Bauer's opponent lead out for 12,000, which Bauer called.
The K♣ river saw the hijack check. Bauer bet 65,000, which forced a fold.

Robert Willems, the small blind, was facing a raise to 8,000 from the cutoff. He reraised all in for 34,000. The player in the big blind then moved all in over the top, and the cutoff folded a face-up pair of threes.
Robert Willems: K♣K♠
Big Blind: J♦J♣
Willems' kings held throughout the A♥2♠A♠A♥7♠ board, and he secured an all-important double up as the bubble approaches.

Cutoff: A♠Q♠
The 7♣K♥4♠ put Carlos even further ahead, and the 6♦ turn and Q♦ river secured that the massive pot was pushed in his direction.

With 258 players remaining on the tournament clock and 257 players making the money, tournament staff have announced the beginning of hand-for-hand play.
On the second hand of hand-for-hand play, Mitchell Hynan was all in preflop and received one call, from Mustapha Kanit.
Mitchell Hynan: J♠J♥
Mustapha Kanit: K♦5♥
Hynan went in ahead but the board ran out 2♦K♥9♦7♠2♣ and brought his tournament to a close. He will not be going home empty-handed, though.
A player was all in on another table for his last 2,000 while satisfying the big blind. The cutoff bet 10,000, and Kenny Hallaert made the call from the small blind.
The flop came 3♦7♠2♦, and both Hallaert and the cutoff checked. They did the same on the 4♦ turn.
The 3♥ arrived on the river, and Hallaert began to bet before the cutoff folded. He turned over A♥8♣, which was good enough to beat the big blind's K♥9♥ and eliminate him.
The two eliminated players will split the minimum cash of $1,603, which is the amount that all remaining players are entitled to for making the money.
