With just under 80,000 in the pot with a completed board of A♦10♥7♣3♣9♦, Tibor Nagygyorgy picked a bad time to move all in from the big blind as he was snap-called for his last 30,000 by Rayane Mokhtar under-the-gun.
Tibor Nagygyorgy: J♦9♣
Rayane Mokhtar: A♥A♣
Nagygyorgy had smashed right into Mokhtar's set of aces and he became the latest elimination as the bubble is very close.

Nicholas Palma open-jammed for around 65,000 from under the gun. Jorge Garces re-jammed for 122,000. Ace Wm tanked the button but eventually folded, leaving the players to flip their hands.
Nicholas Palma: K♣K♦
Jorge Garces: A♣K♥
The flop came Q♣3♠10♥ and Wm let out an 'on no'. As he told the table, he had 'folded pocket queens'.
The 7♥ and 2♦ completed the board, leaving Palma to double up, just 5 players away from the bubble.

Cards were on their backs with the board reading 7♥5♣4♥ with Oleksii Ievchenko at risk from the button versus Ryoki Kusumoto in early position.
Oleksii Ievchenko: A♠J♠
Ryoji Kusumoto: 8♥4♦
Ievchenko would need to improve his ace-high to survive, and did so on the A♥ turn. The card gave Kusumoto an added flush draw to go with his pair and straight draw though.
The river brought the 8♣, giving Kusumoto a winning two pair of eights and fours to snatch back the pot as he threatens to end the night among the chip leaders.

The tournament is just two eliminations away from ending the day and sending the final 98 players on to Day 2 in the money.
Play has ground to a near-halt with tanking everywhere and multiple calls for clocks around the room.
Tournament staff has just announced that they will now begin hand-for-hand play until those eliminations are reached.
Jorge Garces moved all in for just 21,000 from late position and action folded to Jiaze Li in the big blind who was also on a short stack.
He hated having to call 9,000 more given what he had both in chips and the cards he held, but made the call.
Jorge Garces: A♥2♥
Jiaze Li: 5♠3♠
The board came 6♦3♣2♠8♠Q♥ as it ran out about as well as Li could ask for as he paired his three on the flop and held from there to trim the field to 99.

Jonas Stechbarth raised to 60,000 in early position, leaving himself about 15,000 behind. Action folded to Anthony Maltez who was all in for his big blind.
Anthony Maltez: 6♦2♥
Jonas Stechbarth: A♥4♥
The flop came K♦7♦5♦, bringing Maltez hope of a flush with his lone baby diamond.
However the 9♣ turn and 7♠ river brought no further help and after just two hands of hand-for-hand play, the bubble burst, sending the final 98 players on to Day 2 in the money.
