The river completed the runout and the pot of 1.3 million was sent to "dadadada", leaving "jaehoez" with under 400,000 after the lost coin flip.

In Level 26 with blinds of 16,000/32,000 and an ante of 4,000, Adam "jchimpo56" Karten opened to 96,000 under the gun and received a call from Anthony "supremetny" Chin in the cutoff. "dadadada" three-bet jammed for 388,000 on the button and action folded back to Karten, who called. Chin then folded and the two hands in play were tabled in preparation for the runout.

"dadadada":
Adam "jchimpo56" Karten:

"dadadada" found themselves with four more cards to fade as the flop and turn gave Karten a possible backdoor gutshot straight draw, but "dadadada" wound up being the one to improve as the river completed the runout, giving them top set and more importantly, a pot of nearly 950,000 to go along with it.

Less fortunate was "MoZZyNJ", who moments earlier was eliminated in 15th.

In Level 25 with blinds of 14,000/28,000 and an ante of 3,500, Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon opened to 56,000 under the gun and action folded around to "KevinDurant", who called in the small blind. "KingofNJ" was already all in for their last 14,000 in the big blind. A bet from Kwon on the flop folded out "KevinDurant" and the two remaining players' hands were shown.

"KingofNJ":
Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon:

"KingofNJ" was unable to catch another spade as the turn and river completed the runout and they were eliminated in 17th place as a result.

Before the table could break upon reaching the final two tables of 16, "jaehoez24" eliminated "joey1way" on an adjacent table when their pocket tens held versus ace-five in an all-in preflop situation, and 15 now remain.

Sanjeev "sandman9876" Datta:
"PartyPanic":

The runout came , leaving the situation completely unchanged after Datta missed his backdoor flush draw to be eliminated in 27th place.
