Before hand-for-hand play could begin, Kastriot Gjelaj moved all in for 139,000 under the gun and James O'Connor three-bet all in over the top for 142,000 from the cutoff. The rest of the players folded and the hands were turned up.
O'Connor:
Gjelaj:
Gjelaj's best shot at staying alive was to catch an ace, but he was left wanting as the board ran out a dry . The tournament staff double counted and confirmed Gjelaj had been eliminated on the bubble in 82nd place.
Additionally, Joey Cappuccio was eliminated just before the bubble.
The remaining 81 players are now guaranteed $528 in prize money.

In the last hand of Level 19, two-time WSOP bracelet winner Ryan Eriquezzo opened for 28,000 from early position and Yijun "YY" Lin called next to act. The player in the big blind came along and it was three-way action to the flop.
The big blind checked, Eriquezzo continued for 38,000, and only Lin called to see the turn.
Eriquezzo kept the pressure on with a bet of 110,000 but he couldn't shake Lin, who called before the completed the board on the river.
Eriquezzo slowed down with a check and Lin paused for a few beats before sliding out a bet of 180,000. Eriquezzo considered it before calling a clock on himself, after which he released his hand.

Zach Gruneberg, who won the 2019 BPO Event #3: $500 Black Chip Bounty, moved all in for approximately 120,000 from middle position and start-of-the-day chip leader Arie Praisman isolated from the hijack with a three-bet. The rest of the players folded and it was off to the races.
Gruneberg:
Praisman:
It was a flip and Gruneberg was just looking to hold to stay alive. That proved easier said than done though as the board ran out to give Praisman a winning pair of tens and the knockout.
