In the penultimate hand before the break, Michael Addamo opened for a raise from the hijack and received calls from Ami Barer and Sarkiss Osalian in the small and big blinds respectively.

When the appeared on the turn, Barer checked and Osalian opted to lead out for 100,000. Addamo called, Barer folded, and the completed the board on the river. Osalian checked, Addamo shoved all in for roughly 450,000, and Osalian called with the for aces and sevens. It was good as Addamo took a shot with the for a missed flush draw.
With that, Addamo hit the rail in 22nd place for AU$40,000.
In the last hand before the break, a short-stacked Ryan Yu shoved for his last 124,000 from the cutoff and Grant Levy thought for a few moments before calling from the big blind.
Yu:
Levy:
It was a bad spot for Yu, and it got even worse when the flop came down to give Levy two pair. The turn kept Yu drawing live as a ten would give him a winning straight, but instead it was the river giving Levy a full house.
Yu exited in 20th place and marked the 11th elimination from Level 10.

Calvin Ho opened to 34,000 and was called by both Rast and Karlic in the blinds en route to a flop. Rast led out for 70,000 and was only called by Karlic. The turn fell as the and Rast wasted little time in setting Karlic in for his remaining 327,000. Fold.
