Khoi Le Nguyen opened for approximately 100,000 from the cutoff on the stone bubble, leaving just a single 1,000 chip behind. Action folded to Vlastimil Pustina who called from the big blind.
The 5♠K♦10♣ flop was snap-checked by both to see the 9♦ turn and the same to get to the 3♦ river.
Pustina threw 6,000 chips into the middle to cover Nguyen's remaining stack and Nguyen called.
Khoi Le Nguyen: A♥J♣
Vlastimil Pustina: 8♣8♠
Nguyen tabled his cards and his ace-high wasn't enough to save him. Nguyen hit the rail on the stone bubble, missing out on the minimum payout of $13,695.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya was forced all in from the big blind, with only 20,000 left in his stack. John Armbrust raised to 100,000 from middle position, vying for the bounty, and all other players made the fold.
Action was paused until the floor gave the green light, and as it was given Skhulukhiya was out of his seat, talking to a friend. Before the cards were revealed, a 8♣9♦6♠ flop was dealt. Armbrust then tabled his hand, and another player at the table showed Skhulukhiya's, which even he had not seen.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: K♣3♦
John Armbrust: A♥J♦
Skhulukhiya was still not aware of the board being run, and the floor let him know just after the K♠ turn hit the felt. A few tablemates celebrated with Skhulukhiya, as he now saw he was in great shape to stay alive. The 8♦ river secured his survival, as hand for hand continued.

The K♥ hit the turn and Pustina check-folded versus the 135,000 double barrel from Gonzales.
