Chip counts for the six remaining players have been provided below.

"theMossberg" Eliminated in 7th Place ($117 + $10 in Bounties)

"theMossberg"
"theMossberg"

In Level 27 with blinds of 18,000/36,000 and an ante of 4,500, "HellHound" shoved for 121,000 in middle position and received a call from "JMPoker" in the hijack. "poflatland" then three-bet to 537,000 in the cutoff to put action onto "theMossberg," who was on the button and called all in for 472,000. "JMPoker" folded and a three-way all in ensued.

"HellHound": {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
"theMossberg": {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
"poflatland": {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

A double-knockout and big chip lead was in the forecast for "poflatland" but a miracle flop of {8-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Spades} came for "HellHound" instead. The turn {10-Hearts} gave "theMossberg" life with a backdoor gutter to Broadway, but the river {8-Spades} did not fulfill the draw.

"HellHound" wound up quadrupling and then some with their full house, while "poflatland" took down the side pot to eliminate "theMossberg" from the tournament in seventh place. They earned $117 for their efforts and got another $10 from two knockouts.

"Retsnom1" Eliminated in 8th Place ($87 + $40 in Bounties)

"Retsnom1"
"Retsnom1"

In the last hand of Level 26 with blinds of 16,000/32,000 and an ante of 4,000, "Retsnom1" shoved for 144,000 in early position and received a call from "JMPoker" in the small blind.

"Retsnom1": {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
"JMPoker": {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

It was a coin-flip situation and "Retsnom1" needed to improve to stay in the tournament. They did not do so as the runout fell {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} to leave them unimproved and second best to the sixes that "JMPoker" held. They earned $87 for their eighth-place finish, and scored eight bounties to add another $40 to that tally.

"cenation" Eliminated in 9th Place ($64.50 + $62.50 in Bounties)

"cenation"
"cenation"

In Level 26 with blinds of 16,000/32,000 and an ante of 4,000, "rumpthumper" opened the action with a raise to 80,000 in middle position and "cenation" three-bet jammed for 289,000. "rumpthumper" called.

"cenation": {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
"rumpthumper": {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

"cenation" was ahead until an ace came on the flop {8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and they were unable to find a two-outer on both the turn {3-Spades} and river {7-Hearts} to result in them taking ninth place for a payday of $127, split nearly 50-50 between prize money and the 12.5 knockouts they amassed over the course of the tournament.

"rumpthumper" Wins Two Against "Str8crazY" To Bring About the Final Table

"Str8crazY"
"Str8crazY"

Hand #1: On the last hand of Level 25 with blinds of 14,000/28,000 and an ante of 3,500, "Str8crazY" raised to 84,000 under the gun and action folded around to "rumpthumper" in the small blind, who three-bet shoved for 767,000. "Str8crazY" quickly called.

"rumpthumper": {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
"Str8crazY": {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Both players hit sets as the board ran out {5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, leaving "rumpthumper" to sweat a perfect-perfect runout en route to a double.

Hand #2: On the very next hand and the first hand of Level 26 (16,000,32,000/4,000), action folded around to "rumpthumper" on the button and they jammed all in. "Str8crazY" called off their remaining 10 big blinds and the two were off to the races.

"Str8crazY": {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}
"rumpthumper": {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}

"Str8crazY" picked up a few extra outs on the turn but ultimately fell short as the board came {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} to leave them with nothing more than ace-high, which was no good to the pair of threes that "rumpthumper" held. They were eliminated from the tournament in 10th place, bringing about the final table, one that "rumpthumper" now enters with a sizeable chip lead.

"Mengao99 Eliminated, Hand-for-Hand Play Begins on Final Table Bubble

"Mengao99"

In Level 25 with blinds of 14,000/28,000 and an ante of 3,500, "Str8crazY" raised to 84,000 in the hijack and "Mengao99" three-bet all in for 137,000 on the button. "Str8crazY" called.

"Mengao99": {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
"Str8crazY": {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

"Mengao99" was in a coin flip for their tournament life and wound up on the wrong side despite rivering an ace, as the board came {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts} to have given "Str8crazY" a full house by the turn and result in their elimination from the tournament in 11th place.

Ten players now remain, and hand-for-hand play has begun across the two remaining tables, each of which are five handed.

"Retsnom1" Gets a Miraculous Runout To Stay Alive

"Retsnom1"
"Retsnom1"

In Level 24 with blinds of 12,000/24,000 and an ante of 3,000, "HellHound" pumped it up to 60,000 under the gun and received a call from "poflatland" in the cutoff. "Retsnom1" was next to act on the button and three-bet shoved for 158,000. "HellHound" came over the top, four-bet shoving for 689,000 and "poflatland" quickly decided they wanted nothing further to do with the pot.

"Retsnom1": {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
"HellHound": {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

"Retsnom1" was in trouble and the flop {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} left them with nothing more than backdoor outs to the nut flush and Broadway. The glimpse was all they needed, as the turn {q-Spades} showed up and the river {k-Clubs} quickly appeared behind it to give them the nut straight and score them the double.

Hand #1: In the last couple of hands in Level 23 (10,000/20,000/2,500), "Big_Daddy" got their last 218,000 in preflop in the small blind against "Dirty_Harry6," who was on the button.

"Big_Daddy": {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

"Big_Daddy" was unable to find a seven as the runout came {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and they were eliminated from the tournament in 14th place

Hand #2: On the following hand, "Donator888" got their last handful of big blinds in preflop in the big blind against "SenorAlto," who was in the cutoff.

"Donator888": {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
"SenorAlto": {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}

"Big_Daddy"
"Big_Daddy"

The seven-kicker wound up playing as the board ran out {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} to leave "SenorAlto" with the best hand, resulting in "Donator888" taking 13th place just one hand after the previous elimination occurred.

"Skysdad823"
"Skysdad823"

In Level 23 with blinds of 10,000/20,000 and an ante of 2,500, the cards were in the process of being ran out as "Skysdad823" was all in on the button against "rumpthumper" in the small blind for the first seven-figure pot of the tournament.

"Skysdad823": {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
"rupthumper": {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

"Skysdad823" found themselves in trouble and no help came as the board ran out {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} to result in their elimination from the tournament in 15th place. Meanwhile, "rumpthumper" found themselves with over 1.3 million after taking down the pot.

On the other table in play, "Dirty_Harry6" has also seen a heater shoot their stack up to 1.28 million. The pair of players are the only two above 1 million, and have nearly double that of the next-closest player in the tournament, "JMPoker," who is the only other player over 500,000.
