Tony Ruberto began the day as the short stack, and all signs pointed to him getting it in sooner than later. That just happened when he got his last 80,000 all in preflop holding 
and was up against the 
of Artem Metalidi. Ruberto managed to find a queen on the turn to double.

Heinz Kamutzki opened for 20,000 from the cutoff and was met by a three-bet to 54,000 from Gordon Vayo on the button. The blind both folded and Kamutzki announced that he was all in, which elicited a quick call from Vayo.
Kamutzki: 
Vayo: 
Kamutzki was dominated by Vayo, who was all in for 325,000 total. The board ran out 
and Vayo's kings and sevens with an ace kicker secured him the double.

Artem Metalidi checked from his seat in the small blind on a flop reading 
, putting the action onto Pratyush Buddiga who was seated under the gun. Buddiga, a former spelling bee champion, bet 60,000 and Metalidi paused for around 30 seconds before check-raising all-in for 309,000.
Buddiga looked rocked for a brief moment before composing himself again. After a short while debating what the best action to take was, Buddiga settled on a call to put Metalidi at risk of elimination.
Buddiga: 
Metalidi: 
Buddiga held the advantage with his top pair, but was soon behind when the 
turn gave Metalidi the nut straight. The 
completed the board, Metalidi doubled to 625,000 and Buddiga plummeted down the chip counts.

Gordon Vayo opened for 23,000 from the cutoff only to have Heinz Kamutzki three-bet to 65,000 from the small blind. Vayo responded by four-betting to 135,000 and then snap-called when Kamutzki moved all in for 435,000.
Kamutzki: 
Vayo: 
"Queen ball," Kamutzki pleaded. He began the day as chip leader and suddenly found himself in danger of busting in 14th place. The 
flop provided no queen, but Kamutzki was saved when the 
turn put two pair on the board, meaning the two were currently chopping. The river didn't change a thing, and the pot was chopped and Kamutzki's time in the tournament continues.

Phil Hellmuth attempted to raise to 30,000 from under the gun, but one of his T5,000 chips fell short and he was instructed that his raise would only be 25,000. Gabriel Andrade called from the next seat across and Mark Darner called from the small blind.
All three players checked the arrival of the 
flop, leading the dealer to place the onto the turn. Garner greeted it with a 51,000 bet, which folded out Hellmuth, but Andrade stuck around and called.
Darner led again on the 
river, making it 85,000 to play. Andrade wasn't prepared to pay that much and he sent his cards into the muck.

Bill Burford had raised from the cutoff and faced a three-bet to 47,000 from Artem Metalidi on the button. Both blinds folded and Burford reraised to 147,000.
Metalidi went deep into the tank for almost two minutes before emerging with an all-in bet of around 600,000.
"I hope this isn't a big show with aces, I call," said Burford.
Burford:
Metalidi: 
Metalidi looked like a man who knew his tournament was over. It basically was on the 
flop and was 100% over when the landed on the turn. The inconsequential 
completed the board, the hand and Metalidi was gone in 14th place.

A short-stacked Vladimir Geshkenbein shoved all in for 136,000 from the cutoff and Zachary Korik called from the small blind.
Geshkenbein: 
Korik:
Geshkenbein was dominated, and he began to get out of his chair. The 
flop gave him pause as he picked up a flush draw, and much to the delight of his supporters on the rail, he completed it when the dealer burned and turned the 
.
Geshkenbein was all smile as he sat back down, especially after he was pushed the pot once the was run out on the river.

It wasn't a good day for Pratyush Buddiga. A little over an hour ago he began play third in chips out of 15 players, and now he finds himself on the rail in 13th place.
Buddiga lost some big hands to drop to the short stack, and he shoved his last 105,000 under the gun. Davidi Kitai was in the big blind and asked for a count before making the call.
Buddiga: 
Kitai: 
Buddiga had some kicker issues, but the 
flop gave him some hope with a flush draw. The turn put out some chop opportunities, but neither the flush nor chop would come in after the blanked on the river.
Buddiga's exit in 13th place means we are down to the final 12 players, which brings about the two-table redraw. We'll have the new seating assignments for you shortly.
