In a button against big blind confrontation, the board read 
and Bullimore had 18,000 in front of him. Deeb had raised to 82,000, Bullimore shoved for 220,000 and Deeb snap-called.
Bullimore tabled 
for the nut flush, Deeb showed 
for the second nuts and had to part with a decent chunk of his stack.

It didn't take long for the bustouts to start happening once the final three tables were formed. Catching the tail end of a hand between Jaroslav Peter and Giuliano Bendinelli, the two players were all in preflop. The board ran out 
and Bendinellli's winning hand one was the only one left on the table.
Bendinelli held 
for just ace-high but that was good enough to rake in the pot and send Jaroslav Peter packing in 18th place.
