Sean LeFort entered the pot from the hi-jack with an 85,000-chip raise which was met with an Allen Bari three-bet to 220,000 from out of the small blind.
LeFort kicked his cards to the muck, and Bari picked up some of the chips he lost on the previous hand.
Sean LeFort opened to 85,000 only to have Joseph Kuether three-bet jam for 680,000. Once the action returned to LeFort, he instantly made the call to put Kuether at risk on the final table bubble.

With Kuether in terrible shape, the flop would ensure that Kuether would exit in 10th place for a $51,713 payday.
Every tournament always provides some drama at one point or another, and in the case of Event #4, it was no exception as nearly every player voiced their opinion on the matter at hand.
With the WSOP enforcing a hard stop time of ten levels throughout the entire WSOP excluding the Main Event, the Tournament Director on duty has just informed the players that regardless of when the final table is made, they will be forced to play out the full ten levels under WSOP rules.
Recently however many of the WSOP events have been altered in the schedule from three-day to four-day events, and Event #4 was one of them.
Although many of the players are upset of having to play through, it is our understanding that the change from the three-day to four-day format didn't occur until this event had started, so therefore when players signed up to participate in Event #4, they knew that it was originally a three-day event.
Allen Bari has asked for WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel to be contacted to further explain the situation to the players, but we at PokerNews believe that their requests of pausing at a final nine will be in vain.

The board blanked out for Rusnak as he was bundled to the rail in 11th place for a $51,713 payday as the final ten players move to the secondary feature table to firstly play down to the official final table of nine and then until the hard stop time of ten levels or until we have a champion.
From the button, Maria Ho pushed her last 355,000 into the pot only to have Ricky Fohrenbach three-bet shove from the small blind for 750,000.
