With the tournament field quickly whittled down to 194 players, the tournament director instructed the dealers to complete the hand they were on and to hold up for hand for hand play.
The money will be reached after one more elimination.
Ruslan Nazarenko went all in, having his tablemates covered from under the gun. Robertus Hollink made the call and was at risk from the cutoff; the rest of the table folded, and the players tabled their hands.
Robertus Hollink: A♥J♥ 
Ruslan Nazarenko: K♥10♣
The board ran out 10♦4♣A♣8♠5♦ giving Hollink a double up on the money bubble.

The board read K♠7♦10♠K♦ when John Ciccarelli checked from the big blind to Oleg Vasylchenko on the button who sent 100,000 in the middle. After some thinking, Ciccarelli called.
The Q♦ landed on the river and Ciccarelli checked again. Vasylchenko decided to bet 400,000, putting Ciccarelli at risk for his remaining stack of 240,000 .
Ciccarelli tanked for some time and eventually called. Vasylchenko revealed J♠4♥ for a bluff, and Ciccarelli turned over the winning hand with 6♥7♠ for two pair with the sevens.

Zachary Gruneberg opened to 30,000 in middle position, and Arieori Miller announced all in on his left. Gruneberg took some time before sticking in the call, and the hands were turned up.
Zachary Gruneberg: A♠K♠
Arieori Miller: A♥8♣
Miller was trailing until the 8♦9♠3♠ flop, finding a pair to take the lead. Both players hit the A♣ turn, while Gruneberg whiffed on the 5♥ river to end his tournament.
At the same time, Xi Chen opted to go all-in from the cutoff for 340,000. It folded to Samuel Ju in the big blind, who called to put himself at risk for 50,000 total.
Samuel Ju: A♦A♠
Xi Chen: K♣J♥
Ju was way ahead preflop, but the flop changed that in a hurry when it came 4♣J♣7♣ to give Chen top pair and a flush draw.
The K♥ turn was not a welcome sight for Ju, who was now significantly behind in the hand. The 10♣ river upgraded Chen to a flush to knock out Ju.
With Gruneberg and Ju eliminated on the same hand, they chopped the first payout spot to earn $3,375 each.

Jordan Siegel: A♥2♥
Jonathan Mccann: K♣J♣
"Did I win?" Siegel said when he hit an ace on the river on 9♣7♥10♣8♣A♠. The answer was no as Mccann already found a flush to send Siegel to the rail.

Quirin Heinz applied pressure from the button, and Orson Young in the small blind got his final 125,000 in preflop to go to a showdown with Young at risk.
Orson Young: Q♣Q♥
Quirin Heinz: J♣5♣
Young had the best of it, and it stayed that way when the flop fanned out Q♦J♦A♥ to give Young a set of queens.
The 2♦ signalled the end of the hand, as the meaningless 7♣ hit the river.
