It was a classic battle of two premium hands when Tony Harrison raised to 6,000,000 from the small blind and faced a reraise by Craig Savage to 12,000,000. Harrison responded with a jam for approximately 48,000,000, and Savage instantly called to send them to a showdown.

Tony Harrison: A♣K♦ All in
Craig Savage: Q♦Q♣

The classic race did not stay a close one after the Q♥6♣7♦ flop gave Savage a set of queens. The 5♠ turn ended it as the 8♣ completed the board to eliminate Harrison in second place. Harrison earned $113,244 for his finish.

Tony Harrison raised to 6,000,000 on the button and Robbie Schiffbauer three-bet jammed in the small blind for about 20,000,000 to put himself at risk. Harrison quickly called.

Robbie Schiffbauer: 6♠6♥ All in
Tony Harrison: Q♦Q♥

The flop came 3♠J♥K♣, with Harrion's pair of queens still out in the lead. Schiffbauer needed a six but couldn't find one when the board ran out 3♣, J♦ to end his deep tournament run.

Level 42 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Robbie Schiffbauer shoved from the small blind and was called by Arthur Morris, who put in his final 2,300,000 to be at risk.

Arthur Morris: A♦5♦ All in
Robbie Schiffbauer: 2♠2♣

Schiffbauer's ducks were no longer ahead when the 4♥A♠6♥ flop fanned out, but Schiffbauer struck a fatal blow when the 2♦ peeled off on the turn to hit a set of deuces. The 7♥ river ended the hand and sent Morris out in 4th place. Morris earned $84,584 for his effort.

Level 40 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Ben Fan jammed his final approximately 8,000,000 and was called by Robbie Schiffbauer in a hurry to send them to a showdown.

Ben Fan: 3♥3♠ All in
Robbie Schiffbauer: A♥A♠

Schiffbauer held a sizeable lead as he had the best starting hand possible; thus, Fan needed to materialize an upset to stay in the tournament.

The Q♦K♦2♦ flop kept Schiffbauer in the lead, but the 7♦ turn did present some chop outs as a diamond on the river would give both players a flush. The 5♥ river did not do so and sent Fan out in fifth place. Fan earned $63,706 for his effort.

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Tony Harrison raised from early position to 2,500,000, and action was folded around to Abhishek Mhatre in the small blind, who three-bet all in for his remaining 3,300,000. Harrison snap called.

Abhishek Mhatre: A♦K♥ All in
Tony Harrison: K♦K♠

A safe flop for Harrison of J♣8♥9♠ and the 5♣ on the turn did not give Mhatre any help, and he was left drawing to an ace on the river. No such luck as the 8♦ came to complete the board and sent Mhatre to the cage in 7th spot.

Yudai Futai: Q♠3♣ All in
Arthur Morris: A♦7♠

The flop came 9♦6♦K♠ with Morris still out in the lead with ace-high. The 9♥ turn and 10♦ river offered no help to Futai and his tournament run came to an end.

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Sean Cronin was in the unfortunate situation of having to commit his stack in because of the big blind and ante. Cronin was left with 1,700,000, so he was all-in before the hand was dealt.

Edwin Chang chose to raise it to 2,200,000 from middle position, and was called by Arthur Morris.

Chang and Morris checked all the way down on the 4♠7♥8♥6♠J♠ board.

Cronin showed Q♣9♣, but it was no good as Morris tabled A♣4♣ for a pair of fours, which was good enough to take down the pot. Cronin earned $22,314 for his finish.

Myles Phago

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Action was folded around to Siarhei Chudapal, who made up from the small blind, and Edwin Chang checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came 5♦K♠8♦ and Chudapal pushed his last 2,260,000 into the middle, which sent Chang into the tank for three to four minutes, and he eventually made the call.

Siarhei Chudapal: 9♦8♠ All in
Edwin Chang: 5♠7♥

Chudapal was on course for a double up and the 10♦ on the turn didn't change matters. However, the 5♣ peeling off on the river certainly did as it gave Chang trips to send Chudapal to the rail in tenth spot as the official final table bubble boy.

Erick Torres

Level 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

It was a tragic ending for Paul Heath when he opened to 2,000,000 from the button and faced an all-in from the small blind by Edwin Chang. Heath instantly called and was at risk as the cards went on their backs.

Paul Heath: A♥A♦ All in
Edwin Chang: K♣10♠

Heath was in a dream spot with pocket aces, but his hopes of a double were immediately crushed as the flop came K♥K♠9♠. Heath was drawing to just two outs after the game-changning flop, and the 9♣ turn and the 7♣ river were not one of them to send him to the payout desk with aces cracked.
