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

Robbie Schiffbauer opened the action with a raise to 2,500,000 from the cutoff. When the table folded to Ben Fan, he opted to jam for 8,000,000, and was called by Schiffbauer.

Ben Fan: K♦K♥ All in
Robbie Schiffbauer: K♠J♦

Fan had Schiffbauer in rough shape, but the flop was a precarious one as it fanned out 9♠2♠J♠ to give Schiffbauer a pair plus a flush draw. The 8♥ turn avoided disaster for Fan, and the 9♣ river completed the board as Fan avoided his kings getting cracked to secure the double.

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.
