Hand-for-hand play was called with 319 players remaining, and the bubble burst after the first wave of hands was completed. Somehow, seven players were eliminated simultaneously.

Evan Avery, Daniel James, Jamie Payne, Seymond Pon, Derek Kwan, Vincent Giuseffi, and Richard Kent all hit the rail at the same time. They shared four payout spots, each taking home $1,075.
