Gumz Survives, Ditoto and Vaysman Eliminated on the Bubble
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.
