From under the gun, Sam Higgs moved all in for 164,000 chips and all opponents folded. The bracelet winner from Australia double checked his two hole cards and then showed the 
with a grin on the face. Besides that we have only seen one hand with a flop that Mike Leah took down with a bet.

They are the two most active players and the money bubble has slowed down the action considerably.

It took awhile, but bubble has finally burst.
It happened when action folded to [Removed:17] and he raised to 40,000. Mike Leah called, as did Phil Hellmuth in the big blind, and three players saw a flop of 
. Action checked to Leah and he bet 55,000, which only Hellmuth called with just over 200,000 chips behind.
On the 
turn, Hellmuth checked again and Leah moved all in. The "Poker Brat" spent quite some time in the tank, removed his headphones, and double checked his cards.
"What do you have, Mike?" he asked. About 30 seconds later he pushed his stack forward and they tabled their cards.
Hellmuth:
Leah: 
Hellmuth had top pair with a flush draw, and he needed to hit it as Leah had a flush. Only a non-nine heart could save Hellmuth, but it wasn't in the cards as the blanked on the river sending a devastated "Poker Brat" home as the bubble boy.

[Removed:17] opened for 40,000 from early position and Andrew Hinrichsen shoved his last 109,000 all in from the big blind. Yan made the call and the cards were turned up.
Hinrichsen: 
Yan: 
The 
flop was no help to Hinrichsen, and while he paired his king on the 
turn, Yan stayed in the lead with his ace kicker. Hinrichsen needed a queen and a queen only on the river to stay alive, but it was not meant to be as the 
blanked.

Jonathan Duhamel moved all in over the top of a raise by Mike Leah and the latter folded. Duhamel joked "I was suited" before raking in the chips.
Shortly after, [Removed:17] limped from the small blind and Leah checked one seat over. Yan bet 26,000 on the 
flop and Leah called before doing the same one card later for 65,000 when the 
appeared on the turn. Yan then fired his third and final barrel on the 
river for 170,000 and that did the trick, as Leah mucked his cards.

The remaining seven players have been sent off into a 15 minute break.
Nível: 21
Blinds: 12,000/24,000
Ante: 4,000
It took three hands into the new level to reduce the field to six and reach the official final table for tomorrow.
In the first hand, Jesse Sylvia raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Sam Higgs called out of the big blind only to check-fold the 
flop to the continuation bet of Sylvia. One hand later, [Removed:17] raised to 50,000 and won the blinds and antes, reducing Higgs to just over one big blind.
The third hand saw a raise of Mike Leah to 48,000 and Higgs called all in from the button, the two players in the blinds folded.
Higgs: 
Leah:
The 
flop gave Leah the lead. Higgs picked up a few more outs on the 
turn but the river was a blank.
