Ori Hasson pulled the same trick as before by getting almost all of his entire short stack into the middle and this time, he found a customer in Tony Miles out of the small blind.
Ori Hasson: A♦J♥
Tony Miles: K♦Q♠
The 5♥5♦3♥9♥3♦ board ensured another double for Hasson worth 535,000, and he exclaimed "back in the game". Miles was left with half a blind and the button for the next hand.

Within two minutes, there were three all-in showdowns and all three short stacks survived.
Ori Hasson was the first to get his chips in when he opened to 175,000 with 25,000 behind in the cutoff. Dinesh Alt three-bet to 300,000 on the button and Hasson called all-in.
Ori Hasson: J♦7♦
Dinesh Alt: K♠Q♦
Hasson picked up a flush draw with the A♦K♦6♠ flop but instead got there with the 7♠ turn and J♠ river for back door two pair.
Ruben Costa then raised to 110,000 only for Stephen Sakai to jam with the superior stack. "It's really close," Costa murmured to himself and the rail. He then called for his last 1,105,000 and the cards were on their backs.
Ruben Costa: A♥9♦
Stephen Sakai: J♦J♥
The 9♥9♠5♦6♥10♣ board gave Costa trips nines for the double.
Last but not least, Andres Korn flipped for 560,000 with 6♣6♠ against the A♣Q♠ of Adrian Mateos. Thanks to a board of 7♦5♠3♠K♣7♠, Korn stayed in contention as well.

Once the action folded all the way to Ankit Ahuja on the button, he glanced over to the other side of the dealer and table with two shorter stacks still in the mix. Ahuja then announced all-in and Igor D'Ursel in the big blind counted his stack of around 13 blinds carefully before he made the call.
Igor D'Ursel: K♠10♠
Ankit Ahuja: A♣2♥
Both players had a piece of the A♦K♥J♣ flop but Ahuja remained ahead all the way on the 9♥ turn and 9♠ river.

Timothy Miles raised under the gun, and then Ori Hasson three-bet the action from late position. The action folded back to Miles, who four-bet all in with his remaining 1,015,000. Hasson called.
Miles: K♣K♦
Hasson: A♦K♥
The board ran clean for Miles, who saw 10♣9♣3♣ on the flop to give him a flush draw, and then Q♣ on the turn gave him the hand. The 2♥ on the river was a formality, as Hasson shipped off a healthy portion of his chip stack to Miles.

Madar went out in 21st Place for $14,330.

Marton Czuczor called a raise to 100,000 and then saw Girish Reknar three-bet to 400,000, forcing out the initial raiser. Czuczor responded with a shove and that sent Reknar into the tank for more than three minutes. Ultimately, he called and they were off to the races.
Marton Czuczor: J♣J♦
Girish Reknar: A♠K♥
The A♦8♦4♦8♥8♠ board improved Reknar to the superior full house and both stacks were counted twice. They both had exactly 1,760,000 at their disposal, which ended the run of Czuczor in 22nd place.

Justin Bonomo had previously doubled his short stack of 250,000 in a preflop contest with A♠K♥ against the A♦5♦ of Mike Sowers, when the 10♥6♥3♥J♠2♠ board missed both players.
Soon after, Bonomo was flipping for his tournament life against Adrian Mateos.
Justin Bonomo: Q♣J♣
Adrian Mateos: 10♣10♠
The 10♥5♣2♥ flop left Bonomo with a mountain to climb but he picked up some equity with the 9♥ turn. However, the 2♣ river only improved Mateos to a full house.
