Action was picked up with Parker Talbot all in and at risk from middle position. Joao Tomas moved all in to go bounty hunting from the button. Sergi Reixach had the same idea from the big blind and had both players covered.
Parker Talbot: K♠10♠ 
Joao Tomas: Q♣Q♦
Sergi Reixach: 5♣5♠
Reixach smashed the 5♥4♣6♦ to take a dominant lead. Talbot rooted for a chop after the 7♥ turn but Reixach's set sent them both to the rail.
Adi Rajkovic went all in preflop with his remaining 10,000 after Robert Bull's open raise. Rui Bouquet and Bull both called.
The flop revealed Q♣J♠Q♠, prompting Bouquet to fold after Bull's bet. Now it was up to Rajkovic and Bull to wait until the tournament director signaled to reveal their cards.
In the meantime, Rajkovic told PokerNews, "Not the smartest move to go all in on the bubble. I don't know what I was thinking."
However, luck was on his side, as Bull turned J♥5♥, while Rajkovic had a third queen with K♠Q♥, securing him a triple-up as the turn and river failed to help Bull.
On the bubble, Tsugunari Toma decided to raise to 300,000 from the hijack. Alejandro Vazquez then went all in with 254,000, prompting everyone else to fold.
Before the tournament director arrived to announce the hand, it was evident that Vazquez was very excited, while Toma seemed displeased. As it came to showdown, Vazquez revealed A♠A♥ and Toma showed 8♥2♠. It was bad timing for a bluff.
Unfortunately for Toma, the board didn't help his hand, allowing Vazquez to double up and become the owner of over 500,000 in chips.
Nível: 17
Blinds: 2,000/5,000
Ante: 5,000
With the tournament field quickly whittled down to 113 players, the tournament director told the dealers to wrap up the current hand and hold off for hand-for-hand action. The players were just two bust-outs away from hitting the money.
Hiroshi Nishiyama opened to 10,000 from under the gun and called after Sean Jazayeri moved all in for 97,000 in the big blind.
Sean Jazayeri: A♦K♠
Hiroshi Nishiyama: 10♥10♦
"That's a reasonable call," said Jazayeri as he flipped for his tournament life. The 8♠9♥6♣9♦4♥ runout was no help, leaving Jazayeri without any chips as the tournament moved to the stone bubble.
Robert Bull opened with a min raise of 8,000 from early position. Ramon Colillas called, and Marcello Miniucchi shoved all in with 52,000 from the small blind. After some consideration, Bull made the call, while Colillas contemplated his decision but ultimately folded.
Marcello Miniucchi: A♥Q♥
Robert Bull: K♦8♣
Bull was clearly aiming for Miniucchi's bounty, but the board favored Miniucchi with 6♠3♦10♦4♥3♠, allowing him to double up.
Joao Tomas and Parker Talbot were heads up to the turn with A♠10♠K♠3♣ showing on the table. Tomas checked to Talbot from under the gun, and the PokerStars Ambassador fired 32,000.
Tomas called to see the 4♦ river, checking once more. Talbot slid out a bet of 119,000, representing almost all of his remaining stack. Tomas took some time before making the call.
Talbot turned over Q♣9♣ for a missed straight draw, while Tomas showed K♣Q♠ for top pair to take down a sizeable pot.
Dimitar Yosifov limped from the hijack. Justin Steinbrenner in the cutoff limped along before Clement Meunier made it 21,000 from the button. Yosifov then reraised to 50,000.
Meunier took a moment before announcing all in for around 150,000. Yosifov tanked for a moment before finding the fold.
