Louis Salter opened the action with a raise to 100,000 from the button and short stack Michael Seymour announced all in for 425,000. Salter asked for an exact count, then cut out the chips for the call before counting his stack once again. The Brit then slowly but surely slid them forward:
Salter:
Seymour: 
On the 
flop, Salter paired his jack and took the lead. Seymour was in need of a deuce or ace, but the board completed with the 
turn and river. The field was reduced to 11 players and the tournament went to hand-for-hand, as the unofficial final table combines at 10 players.

It had been a slippery slope thus far for Louis Salter with barely any pot going towards the Brit. The stack had taken a big hit as well and Salter was down to 710,000 chips, then opened to 85,000. In the big blind, Matthew Wakeman moved all in and Salter called:
Wakeman: 
Salter:
Similar to the previous showdowns over on table eight, the flop 
was disastrous for the player at risk. Wakeman was already drawing dead to outright win the pot, only running aces could still ensure a split pot. It was all over after the 
turn and the 
river didn't matter anymore.

and it got even worse for him when the

From middle position, Ferenc Riech raised to 65,000 and short stack Daniel Neilson moved all in from the big blind for what looked like 250,000. Riech quickly tossed in the extra chips for the call and it was a coin flip for the tournament life:
Riech: 
Neilson:
The flop came and the German had made quads. Neilson was not drawing dead yet, but needed perfect running cards for a straight flush. It was all over after the 
turn, making the 
river a painful formality as Neilson completed a worthless flush. The Aussie picked up A$10,145 for his efforts and Riech jumped into second place overall.

The action folded all the way around to Kim Au in the small blind and he pushed all in for what looked like 450,000. Ferenc Riech in the big blind peeked at his cards and then opted for the call for slightly less than half of his own stack.
Au: 
Riech:
The battle of the ace rags picked up some momentum on the flop with Au finding a gutshot straight draw. On the turn, he even got a flush draw on top but the river bricked and ensured that the kicker played. Au was sent to the rail in 17th place for a payday of A$10,450.
