On the bubble, Daniel Aharoni shoved all in from the button and Giuseppe Iadisernia called off his last 1,365,000 from the big blind.
Giuseppe Iadisernia: K♠J♠ 
Daniel Aharoni: 5♠3♥
Aharoni pulled in front on the Q♦5♦9♣ flop but Iadisernia paired up on the J♣ turn. A 2♦ on the river kept Iadisernia alive and the bubble remained unburst.
[Removed:554] raised in the small blind and tournament short stack Danny Tang called in the big blind with a stack of about 325,000 after looking at one card.
As action played out at other tables, Tang revealed that he had an ace but didn't know his kicker.
"Alright, what do you have? Flip them up," said Michael Jozoff.
"You're not TD! I can't listen to you!" replied Tang before turning around. "Anyone on the rail here want to root for me?"
"Danny Tang never bubbles, whatever," commented Henrick Hecklen.
Danny Tang: A♠K♠
[Removed:554]: 8♠5♠
Incredibly, Tang woke up with a pure premium and held for a double as the rollercoaster board ran out A♣9♣3♥9♥6♥ to bring waves of "oohs" and "ahhs" from the table and spectators.
The remaining 18 players will now play hand-for-hand until one more is eliminated.
Daniel Aharoni opened under the gun to 300,000 and only Nick Petrangelo called from the seat to his direct left.
The action checked all the way to the river on a board of 3♠4♦A♣6♦J♥. Upon seeing that river Aharoni put out a bet of 375,000. Petrangelo thought for a while before making the call. Aharoni flipped over A♦9♥ to win the pot.
Justin Bonomo opened the cutoff to 240,000 and Andrew Lichtenberger shoved all in from the small blind for 2,340,000. Viktor Blom then shoved all in from the big blind before Bonomo committed his stack of 3,540,000 to the pot.
Andrew Lichtenberger: K♦J♦
Justin Bonomo: A♥A♦
Viktor Blom: A♠Q♦
Blom had both of his opponents covered and would take a huge chip lead plus burst the bubble if he could find a way to win the hand.
However, it was Lichtenberger who was catapulted into the lead as the J♠K♥9♠ flop gave him two pair. Blom picked up a Broadway draw and Bonomo still had outs to win the hand.
The K♠ turn gave Lichtenberger a full house which further increased his lead. Only an ace on the river would prevent Lichtenberger from scooping the main pot but the 3♦ was a brick which meant he tripled up, and Bonomo took the side pot from Blom.
Santhosh Suvarna opened to 260,000 in middle position and Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet to 500,000 on the button. Suvarna four-bet jammed a stack of over 1,400,000 and Ponakovs confirmed a count before calling with a bigger stack.
Santhosh Suvarna: A♥K♥
Aleksejs Ponakovs: J♠J♥
Suvarna couldn't pull ahead as the board ran out 10♦7♥Q♣4♦10♠ to mark his elimination a few spots off the money.
Sergio Aido raised to 200,000 from the cutoff and Seth Davies three-bet shoved for 810,000 out of the small blind. When it folded back to Aido he called to put Davies at risk.
Seth Davies: K♠Q♥
Sergio Aido: A♣10♦
The board ran out 8♣J♥9♠A♥2♣ and Davies was eliminated at the hands of Aido
Nível: 18
Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 120,000
On the flop of 6♣5♥6♦ Daniel Aharoni 200,000 into Jeremy Ausmus. After some thought, Ausmus put in a check-raise to 625,000 and got a quick fold from Aharoni.
