It took around five-and-a-half hours for the cash bubble to burst, then a few hours after that they were all the way down to 18 players with ViCiuSMaXiMu the chip leader with greater than 1.5 million and João Mathias "joaoMathias" Baumgarten next consistent with just over 1.1 million.

ViCiuSMaXiMu had J♠7♥ for high pair and a flush draw, but Baumgarten had J♦T♥ for a similar pair with a greater kicker plus a greater flush draw. The turn was the 8♠ and river the Q♠, and ViCiuSMaXiMu's run was over in fifth.
