Three players were at risk after the second hand of the bubble.
The first was Fabian Gumz, who opened the action with a raise to 45,000. His only caller was Alexander Lynskey, who defended his big blind. Lynskey then check-jammed the J♦7♠K♠ flop, and Gumz snapped him off. The two waited for the floor's signal before showdown.
Fabian Gumz: K♦K♥
Alexander Lynskey: 6♠5♠
The A♠ peeled off on the turn, which was on track to brutally send Gumz away with less than a mincash, but the J♣ river denoted salvation, as his boat outdrew Lynskey's flush.
Isiah Ditoto was in danger from middle position, as he saw his 201,000-chip stack being called by Qiang Xu to his right.
Isiah Ditoto: Q♦Q♣
Qiang Xu: K♥K♦
Ditoto ran into kings which improved into a set on J♣4♣K♣. Ditoto still had a flush draw but the 10♠7♦ didn't complete it and he was eliminated.
On another table, it was a blind versus blind situation when Justin Vaysman went all in and Dominykas Karmazinas made the call in the big blind.
Justin Vaysman: K♥K♦
Dominykas Karmazinas: 10♣8♥
It looked like a safe double-up for Vaysman, but the flop gave Karmazinas a few outs with 7♣J♠4♠ for a gutshot. The 9♦ on the turn completed the straight, the J♣ river was just mandatory.
As both players busted in the same hand, they split the payout for the 122nd place.
