In Level 25 with blinds of 14,000/28,00 and an ante of 3,500, "Core4" opened to 56,000 on the button and was called by "gisappak" in the big blind. The flop came {8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and "gisappak" checked. "Core4" made a continuation-bet of 70,000 and "gisappak" called.

Both players checked the turn {2-Clubs} and the river came {5-Diamonds}. "gisappak" fired out a bet of 207,000 and "Core4" made the call.

"gisappak" tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for the nut flush and earned the pot to bring their stack up to 2.8 million, leaving both other players with below 30 big blinds in their stacks after the hand.

In Level 24 with blinds of 12,000/24,000 and an ante of 3,000, "BigDickRick" jammed for 177,000 in the cutoff and "rounder1420" re-jammed for 364,000 in the small blind. "gisappak" was in the big blind and quickly called both shoves.

"BigDickRick": {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
"rounder1420": {a-Spades}{2-Spades}
"gisappak" {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

"gisappak" had virtually no sweat as the board ran out {2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{q-Spades} to score the double knockout and reduce the number of players in the field from five to three in the blink of an eye.

"bigcakes1" Eliminated in 6th Place ($1,032)

"bigcakes1"

Early in Level 24 (12,000/24,000/3,000), "MistaMenza" found a double through "bigcakes1" to leave them with under 200,000.

A couple of hands later, action folded around to "gisappak" in the small blind and they jammed to put "bigcakes1" all in in the big blind for 154,000. "bigcakes1" called.

"bigcakes1": {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}
"gisappak": {k-Spades}{5-Spades}

"bigcakes1" was unable to hit anything on the runout {4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and they were eliminated in sixth place as a result of their back-to-back unfavorable runouts.

"rounder1420" Can't Pull the Trigger

In Level 23 with blinds of 10,000/20,000 and an ante of 2,500, "Core4" raised to 40,000 in the hijack and saw "rounder1420" call in the small blind and "gisappak" defend their big blind. The flop came {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and "rounder1420" led out with a bet of 60,000. "gisappak" folded and "Core4" called.

The turn came {6-Spades} and "rounder1420" led out again for 127,500. "Core4" called once more, bringing the river {7-Diamonds} where both players checked to take the hand to showdown.

"rounder1420" showed {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a missed couple of live overcards and "Core4" showed {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}, good to earn the pot with their ace kicker to the board's pair of sixes.

"chromeking" Eliminated in 7th Place ($791)

"chromeking"
"chromeking"

On the last hand before break in Level 22 with blinds of 8,000/16,000 and an ante of 2,000, action folded around to "chromeking" in the hijack and they opened to 32,000. "gisappak" called in the cutoff and all remaining players folded, taking action heads up to a flop of {2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. "chromeking" checked and "gisappak" made a bet of 51,000. "chromeking" called.

The turn came {10-Hearts} and "chromeking" checked again. "gisappak" went all in for the effective 225,000 that remained in "chromeking's" stack, which they immediately called.

"chromeking": {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
"gisappak": {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

"chromeking" had check-called off their remaining chips with top pair, top kicker only to run into an overpair. They missed the five outs they had on the river {9-Hearts} and found the rail in seventh place as a result. Updated chip counts for all remaining six players on break have been provided below.

Alex "JinYang" Butcher Eliminated in 8th Place ($602)

"JinYang"
"JinYang"

In Level 22 with blinds of 8,000/16,000 and an ante of 2,000, Alex "JinYang" Butcher got his 273,000 into the middle on the button preflop against "rounder1420," who was in early position and had Butcher at risk for his tournament life.

Alex "JinYang" Butcher: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
"rounder1420": {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Butcher was in prime shape for a huge double and the flop {5-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs} looked good for him. However, the turn {j-Spades} spelled disaster, leaving him as the one in need of hitting the two outer. With one shot to go, he bricked out on the river {9-Hearts} and became the eighth-place finisher as a result.

"jjtes" Eliminated in 10th Place ($473); "JoeRossi" Eliminated in 9th Place ($516)

"jjtes"
"jjtes"

In Level 21 with blinds of 7,000/14,000 and an ante of 1,750, "jjtes" raised to 42,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet to 98,000 by "MistaMenza" on the button. "jjtes" called and the flop came {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}. "jjtes" open-jammed for 127,000 and "MistaMenza" wasted no time calling.

"jjtes": {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
"MistaMenza": {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

"MistaMenza" saw their aces hold, fading the 10 outer on both the turn {2-Hearts} and river {5-Hearts} to knock "jjtes" out of the tournament in 10th place.

Moments later, "bigcakes1" got all in preflop against "JoeRossi" early in the final table.

"bigcakes1": {4-}{4-}
"JoeRossi": {k-}{k-}

A four came on the runout to give "bigcakes1" a set of fours and leave "JoeRossi" with just 4,000 left in their stack, which they would lose shortly thereafter to take ninth place for $516.

"COMEATTHEKING" Runs Out of Luck on the Bubble

"COMEATTHEKING"
"COMEATTHEKING"

In Level 21 with blinds of 7,000/14,000 and an ante of 1,750, "COMEATTHEKING" saw their pocket kings cracked by a backdoor nut flush of "MistaMenza" to take them down below 100,000 as "MistaMenza" went above 400,000 after the double.

A couple of hands later, they jammed for 81,000 in the hijack and saw "BigDickRick" reraise all in from the cutoff to fold everybody else out of the hand.

"BigDickRick": {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
"COMEATTHEKING": {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

"COMEATTHEKING" was unable to hit a three outer for the double and missed chop outs as well, as the board ran out {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Spades} to result in their elimination from the tournament in 11th place to earn the unwanted title of bubble finisher in the tournament.

All 10 players that remain are now in the money, and hand-for-hand play continues as the tournament has reached the final table bubble.
