The first hand after the break Victor Figueroa shoved all in from middle position for 203,000. Directly next to him Daniel Bishop made the call. The cut off and button folded, but Michael Gathy in the small blind seemed interested. He asked for an exact chip count and thought about it for a little while. Eventually he folded and so did Noah Vaillancourt in the big blind.
Victor Figueroa showed his . He was behind against Bishop's but he was drawing live. He wouldn't hit with the flop, turn and river. The remaining final nine players now have officially made the final table and are guaranteed $19,748.

I wasn't planning to drink today but instead it now seems reasonable to go absolutely ballistic at the Rio @JakeCodyFollow @CraigMcCorkell
Hand #1: The first hand after the announcement of the final nine players, the first casualty is there. Russell Crane opened under-the-gun plus one to 32,000 and Daniel Bishop made the call. Jake Cody in the cut off took his time and eventually made it 89,000. The button and both blinds folded and the action was back on Crane. He didn't hesitate and shoved all in. Bishop snap folded and Cody made the call.
Crane showed and had some catching up to do to Cody's . Crane flopped a gutshot on but wouldn't get there. The on the turn and on the river were no good for him. Crane takes home $19,748, the ramining eight players are now guaranteed $25,539.

Russell Crane | Eliminado |
Eight players remain here in the $1,000 Turbo No-Limit Hold’em event. After eliminating Russell Crane, Team PokerStars Pro and Triple Crown winner Jake Cody is sitting near the top second in chips with around 1.1 million — around 300,000 chips behind leader Daniel Bishop.
We briefly had an opportunity to chat with Cody before the final table began.
How do you prefer the Turbo over a regular structured event?
Day 1 was really fast but today was played out like a normal tournament. I think the structure of this event was perfect and feel like all the $1,000 or even $1,500 events should have this structure. You lose a lot of players in Day 1, which is great and it’s not a hyper-tournament, so it keeps a good frame.
Is there any moment that helped to get you to the final table?
I came back today to a little above average in chips. I had aces against Noah Vaillancourt’s tens and have been going up from there. It was a pretty crucial moment from that point.
Do you prefer the European Poker Tour over the WSOP?
I think the EPT tour is actually my favorite tour because of the dealers, the location and everything else. At the time same the WSOP is really exciting and it’s fun to see everyone trying to win a bracelet. Their both great tours but I think I slightly prefer the EPT but I’m not at all taking away from the series.
Hand #2:
Jake Cody opened to 33,000 from the hijack, before Michael Gathy raised to 77,000. Cody asked him for his count, before moving all in, forcing a fold.
Hand #3:
Jake Cody was involved again, opening to 33,000, before the action folded around to Benjamin Reason on the big blind. He slid out a raise of 95,000, and Cody asked for a count. This time he opted to fold, relinquishing the pot to Reason.
Hand #4:
Action folded around to Noah Vaillancourt in the hijack, who looked down at his cards, before announcing all in. The next four players all folded, as he added some much needed chips to his stack.
Hand #5:
Jason Duval opened to 32,000 from the cut off, but folded when Sergey Rybachenko made it 78,000 out of the small blind.
Hand #6:
Yueqi Zhu opened to 32,000 from middle position and Daniel Bishop made the call from the button. Sergey Rybachenko called from the small blind as well, Jake Cody folded his big blind. Rybachenko and Zhu checked to Bishop on . Bishop bet 68,000 and took down the pot.
Hand #7:
Bishop opened the hijack to 32,000 and took down the blinds and antes.
Hand #8:
Sergey Rybachenko opened the cut off to 35,000 and only Jake Cody on the button came along. Both players checked the flop and the dealer added the to the table. Rybachenko check called a 48,000 bet by Cody and checked again on the river. Cody checked behind and took down the pot with his . Rybachenko showed but those cards ended up in the muck.
