With the clock paused as a player was eliminated on the other table, Atanas Pavlov opened to 5,025,000 on the button. Small blind Nadav Avrahami called the raise, then bet out in the dark upon seeing his opponent's sole T-25,000 chip behind.

The 10♦K♣9♣ flop was dealt, and Pavlov called all in.

Atanas Pavlov: K♠10♠ All in
Nadav Avrahami:K♥Q♥

It was a sick one for Avrahami, whose top pair was in very bad shape. He had outs to a queen or jack, but couldn't hit on the 4♦4♣ runout, giving him the unwanted title of shortest stack at the unofficial final table.

Nishant Sharma opened to 1,000,000 on the button. Kazuma Hirata then moved all in for just over 2,000,000 from the small blind, and Sharma called.

Kazuma Hirata: J♦9♦ All in
Nishant Sharma: A♣2♠

The deck decided to give a big needle to Hirata, as he flopped a pair on J♠A♠2♦ but was still way behind. As if that wasn't enough, he improved to two pair on the 9♣ turn, but couldn't boat up on the 8♣ river, making him the bubble boy of the unofficial final table.

Jason Wheeler made it 1,100,000 to play from under the gun only for Steven Daly to three-bet all in for 2,700,000. Action came back to Wheeler who didn't like it but made the call.

Steven Daly: A♠Q♦ All in
Jason Wheeler: A♥3♣

There was no trey for Wheeler on the J♠4♣6♥7♣K♠ runout and Daly was sent the pot for a double-up.

Claus Bustos was first to act and went all-in for 1,500,000. Atanas Pavlov made the call out of the big blind to put Bustos at risk.

Claus Bustos: A♥2♠All in
Atanas Pavlov: Q♦Q♣

Bustos was well behind the pocket queens of Pavlov, but still had the ace working for him.

The J♥10♠6♥ flop kept Pavlov in control.

Bustos was unable to find any help on the J♣ turn and the 3♠ river to exit the tournament in 12th place.

Bustos earend $10,909 for his finish.

Ian Schechter moved all in from the cutoff for 2,750,000. Action folded to Nishant Sharma in the big blind, who asked for a count and considered his options. He eventually landed on a call.

Ian Schechter: A♣K♠ All in
Nishant Sharma: A♠4♣

Schechter was rooting against a four, and he got the runout he wanted as the Q♠7♠10♦8♥A♦ left him with a double, and his opponent with kicker problems.
