With two more eliminations until the money, the floor has announced that the tournament will now play hand-for-hand until the money bubble bursts.
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Yevgeniy Timoshenko limped in from middle position before Matthew Woodward raised to 35,000 in the hijack. Timoshenko called and they saw a flop of 10♥10♦3♣.
Woodward then continued for 30,000 and Timoshenko came back with a raise to 80,000. Several players from neighboring tables had finished their hands and began gathering around this table as Woodward tanked for several minutes, but he disappointed all of them by eventually sending his cards into the muck.

When the 2♣ landed on the river, Johnson bet 135,000, which was for all of Liberto's chips. Liberto shook his head, rechecked his cards, then tossed them into the muck, surrendering the pot to Johnson.

: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Maksim Pisarenko had spent several rounds of hand-for-hand play away from the table talking on the phone before returning and quickly moving all in for his last 20,000. The table folded to Griffin Goodman who called in the big blind.
Maksim Pisarenko: A♠Q♥7♠4♥2♦ 
Griffin Goodman: K♦10♠9♦8♣7♥
Goodman took the lead on the K♥Q♣6♣ flop with a pair of kings, but Pisarenko made two pair on the 4♦ turn. The A♣ river also gave Pisarenko a low as he scooped the pot and doubled up.
"Alright, who's next," he challenged his tablemates.

Darryll Fish limped from middle position before Veerachai Vongxaiburana raised to 45,000 from the cutoff. James Chen called from the small blind, and Fish also called.
Chen checked the 4♥8♣9♣ flop, and Fish bet 100,000 with 45,000 behind. Vongxaiburana potted it with the covering stack, which forced Chen out. Fish called and the cards were revealed.
Darryll Fish: A♠A♣9♦3♥3♣
Veerachai Vongxaiburana: A♦Q♦J♥4♦4♣
Vongxaiburana flopped a set of fours, and Fish needed a little help from the dealer to survive. The rest of the board came 8♠K♠ and Vongxaiburana took down the pot with a boat, eliminating Fish on the soft bubble.

Joseph Genova had whittled down to his last 3,000 and was forced all in from the big blind. Veerachai Vongxaiburana then limped in under the gun, George Alexander raised to 40,000 in middle position, and Vongxaiburana called.
Both players checked the K♥Q♠10♣ flop. Alexander then bet 30,000 on the 2♦ turn and Vongxaiburana folded.
Alexander turned over A♦J♦7♥5♠2♥ for the nut straight and Genova realized he was already drawing dead going to the 4♥ river. His cards quickly hit the muck as he was eliminated on the money bubble.
The remaining 61 players are in the money.

Andrew Becker survived the money bubble with only around 25,000 as he had all but one 5,000 chip in the middle going to the turn on a board of 10♥J♥5♥9♥. Dylan Wilkerson then bet 20,000 from the button, Becker tossed in his last chip, and Arthur Morris also called in the cutoff.
The river was the A♣ and Wilkerson bet another 65,000. "Do you have a straight flush?" Morris asked Wilkerson as he tanked for a minute before folding.
"No, ace-high," Wilkerson said, showing A♥J♣J♦7♦3♥ as Becker tossed his cards into the muck and headed off to the payout desk.
Allen Kessler was also eliminated shortly after the bubble burst.
