During the last round of hand-for-hand, there were multiple all-in and calls.
At Table 70, action folded to Gregory Brown in the small blind, who opened to 25,000. Stoyan Madanzhiev in the big blind three-bet to 75,000, but Brown four-bet all in for over 900,000. Madanzhiev, who had 490,000 behind, made the call.
Stoyan Madanzhiev: A♥K♥ 
Gregory Brown: 5♦5♣
Madanzhiev failed to improve on a board of 2♦9♠4♥2♣8♦, and he was eliminated.
On Table 169, Chris Moneymaker opened to 17,000 from the hijack and called a three-bet of 42,000 from Antonio Vargas in the big blind.
Moneymaker called a 20,000 bet from Vargas on the 8♥7♠7♦ flop, a 45,000 bet from Vargas on the 7♣ turn, and then called all in for approximately 100,000 after Vargas shoved on the 8♠ river.
Vargas turned over A♥A♠ while Moneymaker was playing the board with J♥9♦ and was eliminated.
At the same time, on Table 152, Zhaken Seitbekov raised to 18,000 in early position, which only Dan Stavila called in the cutoff. Seitbekov continued with a bet of 25,000 on the 5♠6♣A♦ flop, which saw Stavila respond with a raise to 80,000, and Seitbekov called.
The 3♦ turn saw Seitbekov check to Stavila, who fired 180,000. Seitbekov then check-raised to 360,000, which Stavila called.
When the 10♣ river completed the board, Seitbekov moved all in for 361,000, putting himself at risk of elimination. Stavila called, and when the cards were tabled, he showed 6♠6♦ for a flopped set. That was more than enough to send Seitbekov to the rail, who flipped over A♥9♥.
All three players split two min-cashes of $15,000 to earn $10,000 each, but a seat worth $25,000 for the WSOP Paradise Main Event was still up for grabs.
The three players were guided to the Paris Green section, where they flipped for the seat. They took their spots at the table while Jack Effel instructed the dealer to deal them all two cards and the board.
The board read Q♦9♦Q♣J♣4♥.
Seitbekov revealed his K♥2♦ for the king-kicker with the pair of queens on the board. Moneymaker first revealed the 2♣, which didn't do anything for him, and neither did the 5♥. Madanzhiev had already shown his 5♣, which didn't help him, and then slowly revealed the 6♣ to keep Seitbekov ahead and claim his seat.
