The last hand brought no elimination, so the hand-for-hand continues. One of the short stacks doubled with jacks against ace-king. An ace appeared on the flop but the player at risk was rescued by a jack on the river.
There are 186 players left after the first hand of the hand-for-hand mode. The tournament is now searching the last unlucky casualty.

The tournament screens show 187 players left and the floor staff informed players about the beginning of a hand-for-hand play.
Alex Keating won't be playing the first bunch of hands as he received a three-hand penalty after some unspecified arguing with the tournament staff.
Louis Russo just made an excellent call on the river calling preflop in the blind with Ten-Seven and busting an opponent who barreled three streets.
That gave Russo another pot to his huge pile of chips close to 500,000.

Todd Brunson was down to his last 40,500 and he moved them in play from the second position, causing a chain reaction.
Next to Brunson, Aditya Agarwal called. A player who was next to act reshoved for about 130,000 or so, and his left-handed opponent called all-in for roughly 25,000. The avalanche finally stopped at Agarwal, who released his hand, leaving a free money to compete for.
