With 32 players left, and 31 making the money, the tournament is now hand-for-hand as the bubble plays out.

Chip Count
Action picked up on the flop in a hand between Tom Fuchs in the small blind, Seth Davies in the big blind, and Paul Phua in the hijack.
With 240,000 in the middle and the board reading 8♦A♥5♥, Fuchs and Davies checked, and Phua bet 80,000. Fuchs got out of the way and Davies raised to 260,000. Phua thought for a moment before coming over the top with a reraise to 900,000. Davies then moved all in, putting Phua at risk, who made the call for his last 1,700,000.
Paul Phua: A♣8♣
Seth Davies: 5♣5♦
Phua's two pair were crushed by Davies' set of fives. The 6♦ turn and 10♠ river offered no help to Phua and he was eliminated just shy of the money.

Chris Brewer raised to 80,000 on the button and Sorel Mizzi called in the big blind.
Brewer continued for 55,000 on the A♥Q♠9♥ flop, Mizzi moved all in, and Brewer called for 380,000.
Chris Brewer: K♠K♥
Sorel Mizzi: Q♦9♦
Brewer showed down a pair of kings, but Mizzi had outflopped him with two pair as Brewer was left one card away from elimination near the money bubble as the 4♣ fell on the turn. The river was the A♠ and Brewer made a higher two pair to win the pot and double up, leaving Mizzi nursing a short stack.

Last year, the first-ever World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Main Event champion was crowned as Germany's Stanislav Zegal took down the $5,000 buy-in event for $2 million and his first WSOP bracelet. The GGPoker qualifier defeated heads-up opponent Michael Sklenicka of Czechia to wrap up a final day that only lasted four hours.
The inaugural WSOP Paradise Main Event at the five-star Atlantis Resort in The Bahamas drew 3,010 players for a prize pool that climbed above the $15 million guarantee. The field included dozens of online qualifiers, including Zegal, who was able to parlay his online poker prowess into a life-altering seven-figure victory.
“I was so lucky, the cards just fell my way all the time," Zegal told PokerNews. "I think I played well too, but obviously (there’s) tons of luck... This is what you call life-changing money, I guess.”
