Play continued down to 64 players remaining in a very orderly fashion… and then the tournament moved to hand for hand play. After 6 hands, finally there was an all-in and a call on Table 62 – and another all-in and call on table 64. All of the players concerned tabled their hands and waited for the rest of the action to close on the remaining tables. There was a bit of a sweat as a relatively short-stacked player on table 66 faced a big decision as well – but he finally folded and the action proceeded.
Table 62
Qiang “Ocean” Dong: 
(at risk; 40K remaining)
Normand Loyer: 
(called)
The board ran out 
and Normand’s two-pair was good and Ocean was eliminated.
Table 64
Blind on blind.
Eric Benhamron: 
(at risk; 112K remaining)
Jonathan Bussières: 
The board ran out 
and Jonathan’s kicker sent Eric to the rail.
Eric and Ocean split the 63rd place prize of $325, earning $162.50 each.
When play resumed there were just a few minutes left in the level (and before the next break) but this was enough for 3 additional players to bust.
