With the very deep stacks, it was no surprise there was little major activity outside of short-stacked Derek Worley doubling to not be a short stack.

Level 16 came to an end and tournament staff sent the nine remaining players on a 40-minute dinner break.

Less than five minutes after returning from break, Event 5 was on the bubble. And through it in a blink.

Before they could go into hand-for-hand mode, RJ Sullivan eliminated Jeffrey Russell to put the field in the money with barely a blink.

That leaves them two knockouts away from the final table for a quick trip to a trophy.
