With Christopher Chan and Andrey Kaitmazov already all in, Anthony Koutsos made the decision to join the preflop party.
Christopher Chan: A♦K♥
Andrey Kaitmazov: Q♣Q♠
Anthony Koutsos: A♥K♠
The runout of 10♥6♠5♣7♠10♦ didn't deliver the ace of king that Chan and Koutsos needed, leading out a loud yelp from Kaitmazov, who found new life in tripling his stack with his pocket queens.

In a heads-up raised pot, the flop showed 3♦7♥4♠ when John Tavss first checked from the small blind. Charles Russell bet 30,000 from the big blind and faced an all in shove from Tavss, who had him covered. Russell eventually called for a remaining stack around 120,000 and they tabled their cards:
Charles Russell: 10♥10♦
John Tavss: J♠J♦
Russell didn't find any miracle on the A♥ turn and A♦ river and the pot was shipped to Tavss.

Russell Morse was desperate to avoid being one of the slew of eliminations moments after the bubble burst, but with so few ships left, he had to make a move. Ronald Jackson took a while before making the call.
Russell Morse: 5♠6♠
Ronald Jackson: 10♦6♦
The runout of 2♣Q♣K♣3♥2♠ did not resuscitate Morse's hand, as the turn brought him an inside straight draw that didn't get home.
